I signed up because I have a Troy-Bilt 42" cut Pony that is kicking my (gr)***.
It sat for 3 years, spindles were trashed.
Installed new spindles, belt too lose. Compared the old / new spindles, new pulleys were an inch smaller
Put the old pulleys on the new spindles, engagement cable broke.
Replaced the cable, now when I engage the handle over half way, it kills the engine.
Engine off, I can spin the spindles AND the engine.
I'm a pretty good mechanic, but I just can't figure this one out.
My next move is to put on ONE small pulley and one large pulley...see what it gets me.
But if anyone has an idea / fix for this I'd love to hear it.
