lawnmower issue

Davy 55 · 2015-06-07 19:27:51

Hi have an issue with my ride on lawnmower. When I started it this mornin. The blades starting move in the drive position. This shouldn't happen until I lower the blades onto the gras. When I lower the blades to the grass they stop moving. Any idea what's wrong. Thanks

There is a diy forum that may assist better.

This being AH, all I can suggest is blasting your mower with pee.

I'd say it's a piece associated with the blades turning that is broken, but that's just a wild guess.

From the sound of your post your blades are high and won't come down...

Are you sure you're cutting the right kind of grass

I've quite a bit of experience fixing push and ride on mowers of all makes and models. I have an inkling that in this instance your problem might be a poltergeist.
