I was given this mower last week. First time I see one with a clutch to engage blades. After starting engine, I push the lever and it seems so hard, i m afraid to push more and brake lever. As I push lever, the blades slowly start engaging but as soon as I let go of lever the blades disengage. I also noticed the "operator presence control bar" is not hooked to anything as the conventional stop brake bars ( they have a cable that goes to the engine so as the bar is released the engine stops) I opened the black box where the lever for the blade is and where the operator presence control bar go kind of together, and I did not see any cable or hook where the operator presence bar would hook to in order to disengage the blade if released. I guess the cluth is in locked position because when I push down on the presence operator bar, nothing happens, I do not see anything moving on to or underneath mower.
I saw a tiny diagram on the internet images on google that supposedly shows where the stop brake hooks down underneath mower where the clutch is, to but is so tiny I could not read it and kept looking at sears parts direct and could not find any.
Any help on this?
