Mower deck on craftsman rear engine mower will not engage?mower runs fine.
Hi,
Does the idler that tensions the belt move when engaged? Many Craftsman mowers have a pivot for that idler arm that is a bolt through a shoulder spacer that is the point at which it pivots. It will get corroded and seize. This requires disassembly, sanding/cleaning and reassembly to remedy. A small bit of anti-seize compound would not hurt when reassembling.
Peace,
Clarke
