I have a 60" John Deere lawn mower deck and while mowing the blades stopped working. After taking the deck off the mower I have found that the PTO does run when the switch is pulled. But when I spin the PTO shaft attached to the gear box, the blades do not turn? If I turn the blades they all turn by hand very easily, but every so often when turning the blades the PTO shaft jerks a small bit? Does this mean that the gear box has some broken gears in it? Is the only fix a new gear box? This gear box does not have any kind of shear pin to look for does it?
Thanks for any help anyone can give, the gear box is expensive, but if it is what I need, that is what I need!
