Hm...

Thanks Your mom... I don't even understand what all that means but I will try to digest it :) Thank you kindly, Johnny :) PS - I see you just signed up. Probably just to make this crazy post! Go mess with someone else with this "bucket of steam", left handed wrench", "metal stretcher" nonsense!

Ok guys/gals... Back again with a new DYT4000 problem, and a no-reverse issue. If you remember my other post, I had a squealing issue and the mower would not go forward or backwards unless you pulled up on clutch/break. I ended up fixing THAT issue with new belts. (go figure) Problem...

OK everyone, problem solved. Thank you all for your kind help. As it turned out, the old adage "the simplest solution is usually the correct solution". Replaced both belts, works like new again. However, I did learn a valuable lesson today. Always read the specs on the belt itself and NEVER go...

Thank you guys. Let you know how it turns out :)

Hey guys... do all you pro tecs only replace belts with OEM belts or is there another brand that you trust that's less money and can be picked up at like Home Depo, Lowes or Ace? If so, would you please give me some part number (both belts) for the model number below? Model # 917.274040 Thank...

Checked spring. It's OK. Thank you for your help!

Ah... OK, so after someone replies, I cannot "delete". Got it... thank you, Johnny

If you look at the post, there is only a "Report" and "Edit" link, no "Delete". Thank you, Johnny

Model# 917.274040 Thank you Mark :)

That's what I thought too but when I put a spring on the linkage, it made it not want to move at all. Maybe I put the spring in the wrong place.

Ideas anyone?

Ops... please delete this double post. It was a mistake. Thank you, Johnny

Thanks StarTech, I'll check that out. But... I'm less concerned about the breaks working than I am about what is causing the loud squealing and the lack of mower movement when brake petal is released. Are you saying that this is the cause for THAT issue? Thank you again, Johnny

Thank you Fish... Model# 917.274040 J :)

Hi bertsmobile1, thank you. Everything is fine when you pull up on brake pedal lever... so pulleys are not the problem. Don't know what "flog out oval" means. But... tension pulley arm pivot point seems fine. No debris build up. All is free moving without obstruction. Thank you, Johnny

Hi... I was wondering if you guys/gals might be kind enough to try and answer a question for me? I have a 21hp V-Twin Craftsman B&S engine - on a DYT4000, with a go issue. When you put it into forward, and let off the break, the belt sequels like crazy and it does not want to move. (sometimes...
