Mid Mount Mower stalling tractor

As suspected it is a buggered spindle. I have one on order, so hopefully fix it next weekend.
Thanks for the advice guys.

Glad that's all it is. Our mowing season will start here pretty soon. Last year with the draught and heat I hardly used the mower. Hoping this summer is normal.

I hear you ccsial. We went from 7 years of drought to floods the past 3 years........
Thanks again for the help

Sadly, Art has this one pegged! The seal to the Gearbox on mower failed at some point. No oil in the box at all. Not much in the way of gears left either it has to be said!
Pics don't do it justice. Quite a mess. Brother-in-law is rebuilding it for me. No ideas what it will cost, but he will work for beer..........

Wow, Sorry to hear this. Maybe the rubber you smelled was the seal.
