682 Blades spin while tractor turns over
 

Went to start the 682 and the blades spin while trying to start it. The fuses are good, pto belt tension good, I replaced the pto switch, bypassed seat saftey switch. Still does it. Any help would be appreciated

If you mean the PTO is engaged when you start then you probably have a seized PTO bearing. It is fairly common and happened to me a few years ago.

did you take the belt off the PTO? I assume it starts fine if you do.

here are some threads to review:

Goodluck-

I'd look into the bearing, as well. I had the same thing happen; started fine one day, the next the deck starts with it. Replace or repair the bearing and see what happens. Good luck :beerchug:

Take the belt off the PTO and try to spin the pulley....it should spin rather freely. Then, like suggested above, the bearing could have seized up.

Sorry Jon I keep forgetting that is in the tech section now

If it spins the deck with the starter....... pretty sure it isn't going to turn "freely" by hand.

yea, good point.:bash::beer2:

Thanks everyone, you were spot on. The bearing was hosed, mower is fixed.
