 All right guys time to cut the grass see some smoke there Let's see what's going on with this thing. I was cutting the grass. I Got one lap done And I got over there by the road of course and it just stopped it was like you push the clutch in I'm not sure what's going on. I think it's a belt issue, but let's see if we can find the problem Up in here. I did see some smoke just now when I started up for it Think it may be a belt issue. I've got to check it out and see first. The belt is on I don't know if you can see that Up in there. The belt is on. There's another issue. I noticed now these mowers with the hydrostatic transmission You can't push them unless you pull this out Now you can push it, but if I put that back in I can still push it So something's going on. So let me see what I can find out. I don't know if a shear pin Sheared off in one of the axles. I'm not sure. I won't check it out. Let me get back with you All right guys what I have found out. I think transmission may have locked up But I don't know why the wheels are turning but something happened because Up under here Up in there I don't know. Let's see if I can get you up in here so you can see what I'm talking about But in that pulley That's what drives this transmission. It's automatic or hydrostatic however you want to look at it And I should be able to turn that and I can't It will not turn so I think something locked up inside this differential here So what I'm gonna have to do is I'm gonna have to jack it up, but I gotta wait till she gets home The jack is in the truck. So I got to jack this up Pull that rear end out of there and see what's going on with it So I'll be back with you Okay, guys, I may have got lucky and I couldn't turn that pulley. I had to break on But I did find another pulley that I think is the culprit. It's called an idler pulley which If we got lucky, we're talking 15 bucks opposed to and I may have one on that But as opposed to you know, 150 bucks 200 whatever the case may be I'm gonna try to get you in here the best I can so please bear with me There's a pulley right here and it's all It's all screwed up and ate up Okay so I Think that's the problem because it was locked up a second ago So let's try it again Okay, now see it's kind of It's locking up Whenever it comes around and I think the belt's chewed up too, but right here damn it I'm trying to get you guys in here. I don't know if you can see that or not but it's all It's all chewed up see so That locks up It might be it might be just remnants of the belt But now I feel it. It's part of the plastic. So I think that may be the issue So let's try it and see if if it starts to move then. Oh, no, that's the issue since I've got it unlocked So let's see what happens now. I've got a bad pulley guys So it's a quick diagnosis of it. So I'll do a video on Changing the belt on that. It's an LA 145 So John dear So that's just a quick upload for you. I locked myself out of the house Luckily, I got in though. So I did get in the house Dropped my glasses Bent them up because I think I stepped on them But anyway guys, thanks for watching Stay tuned Maybe this weekend all because this grass is getting high. Look at it guys. It's getting high so I'll show you guys how to change a belt and Pullies on that. I may just go ahead and replace them pulleys. I've been noticing here lately that One of them was making a little noise. I noticed it earlier So I hose the deck off thought maybe there might have been a stick up in there and then It didn't help it and then when I got over there, that's when it that's when it screwed up. So There we go guys. I'll show you how to do that In an upcoming video here real soon. Maybe this weekend Let's have to see but it's got to be done. If not, I mean I can that thing will run enough I can cut the yard with it doesn't cut great, but While I'm at it, I'm probably gonna take the deck off of that thing So we'll probably go ahead and sharpen the blades while we're at it. So I'll show you how to do that, too So I guess you can call this an update on an upcoming video. I don't know but anyway guys Thanks for watching Shaber of the myth man legend gone for now. Bye. Bye guys
