I'm new to the forum so hey! everyone. I have been struggling with this issue and I'm looking for a little insight/advise/secret sauce... on how to get my mower running right. So the details.. 2006 Troy Bilt Super Bronco, 13AX60TG766. I had a pulley split in half so I decided to replace both of the two middle pulleys cuz they were the same type. While I was disconnecting the mowing deck I did notice the PTO cable was fraying and getting close to snapping. So I added that to the list of never ending replacement parts. So parts came in I double checked to make sure I had the correct parts and even matched the new PTO to the one. All good. I replaced the pulleys and attached the PTO with no issues. I reattached the mowing deck and cranked it up... All good so far... I then attempted to engage the blades and killed the motor. That caught me off guard a bit so I cranked it again and tried to re-engage the blades and killed the engine again. I did notice each time I engaged the blades the lever took the strength of a mule team to get it to go from off to engaged.
Now was a good time to go over my work and triple check everything (this would also include following the belt routing diagram on the mowing deck). I couldn't find anything wrong. I know I forgot something but I'm stumped. Can I get some help with this? Thanks in advance.
