Hi guys,
I just replaced the transmission belt and blade/drive belt on my '97 exmark metro 36" walk behind.
The issue I have is this: when the mower is running/idling the blades are rotating, slowly and sometimes quickly. When I push the lever to engage the blades it dies. I found today that if I engage the blades slowly, it'll work. Did I put the belts on wrong?? Not tight enough or too tight? It's also thought to engage the blades with the lever.
I appreciate your feedback and help. I'm...
