There should be a pulley that the brake/clutch petal pulls against to disengage. You could have a problem with that. You will have to turn it by hand to check and see. Check the main drive belt while you are in the area. It may be helpful to remove the deck so you can slide up under there get a good look.

I hope this gets you going.

Check your drive belt. If you removed the rear wheels, make sure you reinstalled the drive keys.

SOURCE: leaving streaks of grass in middle of mower

Your forward speed may be too fast for the mower blades to cut every blade of grass. It may be new, but check the deck to see if there are any dents pushing the quill assemblies up making the deck cut uneven. Or it may have the wrong blades on it.
I have seen this problem in the past with a Gravely mower. The person was trying to cut grass to fast. He sold the unit and the new onwer did not noticed any the problems the old owner described.

SOURCE: deck will not shed the grass

The only way to shred the grass while mowing is to have a pair of mulching blades on your mower, they work, but they wear out fast. They do in Florida anyway with all the sand. And don't for the grass to look a hayfield to mow it. You have to keep at it. Hope this helps.

Won't Fully Engage Drive Gears

If the machine has been sitting idle for a period of time it is probable that the cutter spindles have failed / rusted bearings. They suffer from wet grass/ water seepage when working and when let stand idle for a time will rust up the balls in the bearings. Loosen the drive belts and see if the cutters can be turned freely by hand .

Wierd grass catcher problem

There are a couple of causes for this. Is the blade height the same on the new mower? Higher blade height could cause a lot of the grass to be blown out from under the deck, and not into the catcher chute.

On the trailing edge of the mower blades is a small 'wing' for lack of a better term. There are two types of blades, mulching blades that have a lower 'wing', while catcher blades that have a slightly higher 'wing' but it makes a difference.

If the season has been hot lately, the grass may not be growing as fast, hence less clippings, and less dense grass could also cause this.

If it stalled while mowing long grass the drive system will need resetting. Do this by starting the mower, while in neutral place the speed lever in the highest speed setting then let you foot off the brake/clutch then back on. Place in forward and you should have drive restored. Regards Phil.
