HELP mower deck blades will NOT stop spinning
 

guys please help my cub cadet original mower deck has all new belts but when the tractor is running the blades keep on spinning when the mower is disengaged i tried one of the old short belts that goes on the 2 pullies but it didnt help i dont know what to do. please help, thanks

sounds like your tensioner on the deck is not moving far enough to take the tension off your belt. Mark

thanks mark how do i fix this:bigthink:

Theres a rod on the kick clutch that you can screw in or out. Put some lube on that center pulley where it moves back and fourth too.

ok thanks:beerchug:

ok guys i made a little progress i used CRC power lube on the slide plate and center pulley and took off the cast iron pedal cleaned it up and sprayed it with CRC , put it back and sprayed the adjustment rod, im letting it soak

Awesome news Nick! It's good your thinking about safety. Accidents suck.

i know, Duke, i sent you a PM:beer2:

I sent a reply back at ya. Sorry I don't have the answer for ya.:bash2:

Glad you got it fixed, Nick! :beerchug:

ok guys heres a picture of my cub cadet originals mower deck its a little dirty from working , but anyway the blades still spin even tho i have the pulley covers on the right sides when i start the tractor the blades sometimes spin and sometimes they dont but if they dont spin, when i turn the mower on they engage and spin like they should, but when i shut it off they keep spinning it doesnt make any sense. i dont know , any thoughts:bigthink:

1) I can visually see that the right blade pulley is incorrect. That is a left blade pulley.
2) 60 & 61 used one left blade pulley and pulley cover.
3) 62 & 63 used a different left blade pulley and pulley cover.

Given that the right pulley is incorrect, who knows what mix-match of parts someone had installed on the left side. Go to www.binderbooks.com and order yourself an IH CPE-2 Equipment for Cub Cadet Tractors Parts Catalog for complete illustrations and parts numbers, section B, page 6.

i bought it that way, all the guy did who painted it was put new belts

mine is a 1962

Nick..

PM sent.

ok guys, i got another picture of the other side of the deck with the cover, i still dont know why it spins
