Re: HELP - Woods 72\" Finish Mower - Belt broke
No kidding, right?! Anyway, yes my mower is mounted via the 3-point hitch and has a shaft that goes from the PTO down to the gearbox on the mower deck. It spins the main fly-wheel that drives the belt along the pulleys. I've got the new belt and a new set of blades. I'll install them either tonight or tomorrow.
My wife is trying to get me to go eat Mexican food instead of fuss with the tractor. However, my lawn is like a foot high or more. It demands attention. Unless I just let it keep growing and round-bale it. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
So, Mexican food and beer with the wife or grease, busted knuckles, and still have to wait until tomorrow to mow...hmmmmmmm.
I guess I'll go with Mexican, beer, and the chance to get 'lucky'. The parts, tractor, and lawn will be there tomorrow. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Now the only problem is that when I went to get the parts I saw a bunch of shiney, new John Deere tractors sitting there waiting for me. My New Holland seems small now that I've had it for a year. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
I may just have to trade in the TC 30 on a new tractor with hydro-static clutch, a FEL, and more horsepower. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I'll let you know what happens with putting the belt on...
