hi
I have been experiencing some problems with my Woods RM550 mower. It acts like it is getting bogged down even though I am only cutting about 1/2" of grass.
I looked under the deck and at some point, I has run over a nylon dog leash. It wrapped around one of the 3 spindles. I removed it.
I looked under the belt cover and noticed that the belt has some cracking and there seems to be some "play" in the belt but I don't know if it is too much play or not since I have nothing to compare it to.
The RPM'S on the PTO do not drop when the mower "bogs down". They stay at 540.
So, my question is:
1) what could the problem be according to my description?
fyi: it is completely greased up and I changed the cup washers too.
thanks in advance
