Mower Repair

 James came up today to help me repair the tractor/mower.  A couple of weeks ago the drive belt came off and I just walked away from the job because the grass wasn't growing in the hot weather.

The first thing I did after James got it jacked up and took off the mower deck was take a picture of the problem area.  If you look close you can see the belt is in pretty bad shape.

Luckily there  is a diagram on the bottom of the step of how it runs.  Getting it over that Transaxle pully is the hard part,  But we got it on there finally but it took both of us.

I am glad James took this picture of the mower deck because we needed it to get the belts on right.  James changed out all three blade spindle assemblies and several pullies.  He also put on sharpened blades and new belts.

 We are all done with it.  It was hot enough that we decided that hauling the yard debris away could wait until tomorrow.
