It's been dormant for awhile. JohnDeere RX75 would run when I parked it a few years ago. Old battery I'm sure was no good but I gave it the benefit of doubt and tried recharging anyway. No go. I thought replacing the battery would help to at least help to make the starter motor work(I know it...

I am having trouble with replacing idler pulley belt on my v21. I couldn't get the engine to turn over but no go. I need help- I don't know what I did wrong but the reason engine wouldn't turn was because idler pulley and belt was rubbing against the crankshaft pulley above the blade adaptor...
