Hi all, only posted once before 'mtd restoration' , all went well ,though could not get up steep hills ,put this down to belts slipping.This improved with belt dressing,Then started noticing not sucking up grass very well into bag, mowing particularly steep hilly top garden both hill problem and after spraying beltdressing on deck belts this seemed to highlight what i am convinced is clutch slipping this item ww.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blade-Brake-Clutch-Pulley-Fits-MTD-717-1787A-717-1787-753-06346/332246918741?hash=item4d5b75a655:g:xxwAAOSwE3BXFk3D , 753-06346 being the relevent pt no. Situation now is it cuts but not well at all looking at belts going quite slow and every now and again fires up to full song clutch is hot so got to be slipping. found a good youtube item on the clutch though in Polish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0m-E6Gp1o4 so intend to strip and see if can be fixed anyone had dealings of this nature any tips gratefully received, the ride on is MTD RH 135/105B 2003/4 great machine very happy with it any other information on this clutch is very scarce ie none so will post if i get anywhere with it, i am thinking i will have to somehow renew friction material of my own devising on plate should be interesting to say the least Great forum thanks for all the tips i have already read keep up the good work cheers
