O.K. boys, i got an overrunning clutch and put it on the other day. the tractor stops on a dime now. thanks for your help, i might have never figured it out. FYI the mower keeps spinning the tractor PTO shaft for 30 seconds after i get off. no wonder it was pushing the tractor and i couldn't stop. i got the overruning clutch (a.k.a. coupler) from the local JD Dealer. got 210 lbs of suitcase weights while i was at it. now it is like a different tractor. i think i could use more weight though. still a little light up front. i have a 4' JD rotary cutter (Frontier 1048) model on the back that weighs ア500 lbs.
how much weight are you guys using and what gear do you mow in?
also, i get some gouging from the cutter when going around corners. i googled it and it seems "check chains" are required from front of mower to rear of tractor. do any of you guys use check chains?
