Sears riding mower blade disengagement
I have a Sears riding mower that engages the blades fine but will not disengage said blades unless I cut it off; then when I restart it the blades are disengaged. There is a spring that provides resistance when I move the lever on the dash to engage the blades; should there be another spring that pulls the blade pulley back away from the belt when I disengage the blades?
At present the pulley just sits there when I release the lever up top; I've lubricated the pivot point for the bracket that attaches to the pulley; what am I missing?
