Thanks all, Looks like I have a stump jumper on it. I will try to find the manual now and determine how to service the slip clutch. How do you tell if the slip clucth is fuctional? How do you loosen that big star nut? I see the hex head srew to hold it but don't have something bid enought to lossen it.

Usually you would need a Shop hammer, punch and safety glasses to remove the nut on the clutch. Make sure it does not have a set screw that you need to loosen? Ken Sweet

generally if its not slipping on you in rough use, its bound up and likely not functional. I loosened mine with a chain strap pipe wrench and 6' cheeter bar with my "spud bar" stuck in the hole on the top of the deck to keep the blade from spinning.
