Good Evening
First post hopefully someone can help, I'm lost on this issue
Troy-Bilt pony
belt broke changed belt installed new new blades.
When I'm mowing with deck up PTO engaged the blades turn full speed like usual, once you lower the deck to setting other then up all the way the blades go slower. Lower the deck to slower the blades turn. I mow on setting 3 and I literally have to cut my yard three times to get it fully cut. Once you hit grass the blades barely turn and go slower.
New blades, spindles are free not issues, new belt, (proper belt). But it does seem like it has a lot of slack in the belt. But this is the size it had when it worked perfectly before belt snapped and this is the size under the hood on sticker. Never changed no pulley, never changed deck etc to cause any issues.
