I have a 2005 X2503 60" Dixe Chopper. I purchased it used and have gone through the whole thing. When the motor is running and blades turned off it still turns the blades. They are not at full speed but they are fast enough to sling rocks, remove toes etc...
What I have done...
1) All pulleys are in good shape including the bearings.
2) Belt is the correct one by specs. Not new but still good (no cracks etc...)
3)Tranny belt is new.
4) Belt adjustment is done by pulling the motor back away from the deck. Tranny and deck belt are run off the same pully on bottom of motor. I tightnened belt enough for tranny to work, leaving blade belt extremely loose. It will crank and run with out any issues but when you start to move the mower, I guess the rocking of the deck gets the blades turning and then it just won't stop untill you turn the motor back off.
User manual is not helpful at all. Any one else have this issue or advice on what to try next? Thanks in advance!:thumbsup:
