i am a newbie...sort of. I joined years ago because I did not ever have anything of substance to post, I just like reading about maintenance on mowers, engines and decks. I currently have a JD lawn tractor, a LA110 that is about 15 years old and I have kept it going all these years, from engine repairs to deck replacement. Now I am in the market for a new one...one with a lifetime warranty and I'll explain that one when I post on the suitable place.GREETINGS to all Gravely & Ariens mower owners!

Welcome to the forum. Are you engaging with the engine at full power or at idle?Hello from North Texas! I'm a Director for a non-profit Christian Leadership Camp and a generous donor contributed a Gravely 260z mower - Kaw engine. It's an incredible mower, and we've had it services, blades sharpenend and some parts replaced (PTO Switch) though we've run into some issues with the engine stalling when engaging the blades.
I've been engaging at full throttle, though after reading some posts on the forum I see that engaging at idle is advised on some models. After bypassing my seat safety switch today (which I dont plan on keeping bypassed) it engaged at idle or full throttle - I posted here about it https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/thre...-ztr-dies-when-engaging-the-blades-pto.72528/Welcome to the forum. Are you engaging with the engine at full power or at idle?
