I have a 48" BigBee finish mower. When I was turning I hit a stump. Now the mower is locked up. I disconnected the pto shaft and the pto on the tractor still works. I tried to turn the pto shaft by hand but will not turn at all. I looked under the deck of the mower did not see anything out of the normal. How do I check the gear box.

If nothing is blocking the blades, chances are you have one or more broken teeth in the gearbox. You can open it up and look.

You have a big bee finish mower.
Please tell me you have a source for parts.
I bought a 60 incher used but it needs some new pulleys.
I have no idea where to get these at.
It cuts great and I really like it. But it could use some paint.

I have not had to buy any parts yet. But I did buy a new one after my old BigBee 48's deck rusted out. I got it from a local JD dealer for $850.

If you can provide part numbers, we should be able to provide parts. We stock the quill assemblys and a few belts for the finish mowers.--Ken Sweet

I can get belts no problem. I replace it about once a year.

The big main pulley on the bottom of the gear box is worn real bad.
The edges of the pulley V are sharp.
And some of the idler pulleys have some play in them.

Spindles and pulleys and everything else in good condition.
I bought it used for $250 from a neighbor. Does a great job mowing.
Needs sanded down real good and repainted.
Doesn't have any decals or numbers on it that I can see.

This thing sure is loud when your sitting on the tractor mowing.
If someone else is mowing I don't hear as much noise.
But if I'm on the tractor mowing It is LOUD.

I was told it originally came from the Co-Op up the valley.
Thought about taking it up there and seeing if they can ID it.
