Hi everyone,
I recently bought a used Craftsman riding mower. The model number is 917250810. Shortly after I bought it, the blade drive belt snapped. I bought a new one and installed it. Seemed pretty simple. However, now the blades run even when the lever is in the off position. I've gone over it and the cable appears to be working correctly. The pulleys move easily when I engage and disengage the lever. I can't see any reason why the blades are spinning when they're disengaged. It was working fine before I put the new belt on, so I must have done something wrong, but I can't figure it out.
