Hi All , First the important stuff. Model:13WK92AAK009 Serial:1C021H30256 DOM:March 2011
Well , my original drive belt to the rear wheels finally went so I had a job in front of me. The machine being 11 years old, I replaced the 3 pulleys located around the center of the machine along with the belt. I used all OEM parts. I watched a couple of Youtube videos the job went together pretty good.
What I noticed is when I had the PTO off , The pulley on the PTO would spin one way and bind up in the other direction.Shouldn't it spin free in either direction?
When I went to test my work, My belt and pulleys were fine but I had a high pitched squeal.It would go away when I pulled the switch for the PTO. Not a bad squeal, just annoying. (Mower deck not installed). I shutdown and tried to rotate the pulley. It would still go one way but wanted to bind in the other direction.
The 2 washers are installed when I bolted the PTO back up. Is there some debris in there I should be looking for or time for a new PTO. Please share your thoughts. Thanks , Matt.
On a side note , I want to thank all you Professionals and all you Shade Tree Mechanics that have been doing this for years that you share knowledge and information. It helps cut thru all the B.S.
