Hello everyone. New to the forum trying to solve a mystery.
My 2013 Broadmoor 27hp briggs, 52" fab deck recently developed an issue where the PTO will slow the blades when turning to the left.
The engine rpm is not affected and the length of grass is not a factor.
I spoke with several techs from local shops (SWPA) and they say they've never encountered such an issue.
I'm going to replace the pto belt but my luck would have to change drastically for it to be that simple.
I've already cleaned the deck and the blades spin easily when turning by hand. The wiring seems ok.
Any thoughts?
thanks

When was the last time the belt was changed? Have you checked to see if the tensioner arm moves when turning left?
