Just bought a 12 hp roper belt for cutting blades was missing anyone know belt size it has 36 inch cut
Take a piece of rope and run it around all the pulleys a mower shop or parts store can match it to that
SOURCE: craftsman 42" riding lawn mower blade free spinning but wont cut
It sounds to me that you need a new mower deck drive belt, or your blades need sharpening. If the blade edges are rounded, they won't cut butter... Also, when mower is off, check mower deck drive pulleys to make sure you don't have any that are locked up or are dragging. You can check this by pulling the belt away from pulley and spinning the pulley by hand. MOWER MUST BE OFF before attempting any of these checks. You would be surprised how many people would try this with the mower running.
Hope this helps
SOURCE: won't engage blades to cut lawn
Is the belt on the pulleys ? If so your cable is broke its what engages deck belt
SOURCE: 42 inch Craftsman blades won't engage
is the belt spinning & smoking when blades are engaged or the belt won't spin if the belt spins but blades wont go then there is something stuck under the deck or the bearings are gone out do to not being greased
SOURCE: duel blades on craftsman riding mower cut unevenly
check the front tire air pressures then for a bent blade

most likely you are in reverse with the key in the mow forward position only. turn key to the reverse mode or put the gear selector to forward mode.
