I have a Craftsman LT4000, 42" cut. When cutting my lawn for the first time this season, I noticed that only the right blade spins and cuts. I checked the belt, and it appears normal. Once stopped, off, and disengaged, I noticed that if I move the right blade (the one that is working), there is some tension and it only spins as far as I move it. If I spin the left blade (the one that is not engaged or cutting), it spins freely if I push it. Any suggestions with what may be wrong?
Follow-up: I found that the spindle is broken (I think). How do I swap this piece out?
