What do you think may be not threaded correctly?

I put spring #39 back in the same spot where it was when I started. I’m thinking it’s in the right place since I don’t really see any other good options where it could go.

Thanks. The belt on there is an OEM brand new belt. I tightened the tie rod all the way. Still have noticed much change. I have appreciated your feedback. Do you know what the average top speed of this mower would be?

Thanks for all the pics/diagrams! Does tightening the nut on the tie rod adjust the auto drive linkage? I did that but I’m not seeing it change anything whether I loosen or tighten it?

wow. Thanks for all the info! I’ll have to look into it on my next day off.

Thanks! Not sure if it’s something I can handle but I’ll look into it.

Yes. Thanks. It does move freely.

Appreciate the advice! Unfortunately, you’re a little too advanced for me. I don’t even know what the auto drive linkage is or where to find it.

Model number: 13WX78KS011

I replaced both the upper and lower belts. serial number: 1E130B10144

Thanks for all the replies! I changed the drive belt, but I haven’t noticed any improvement in speed. It tops out at around 2-3 mph. is that normal?

Also, I found the belt that runs the mower deck comes off of the front pulley. Can this be tightened or does that belt need to be replaced as well?

I don’t have experience with riding lawn mowers but I would expect most would run at least 4mph right?

Thanks! Pulling the break pedal up didn’t do anything. I did find the manual online. the upper drive belt looks pretty worn so I guess I start by replacing the belt and see what happens.

I just bought a used Troy Bilt bronco riding mower. Even without the blades running, it will only run at about a maximum of 2 mph on flat ground. I’m wondering if anyone can give me some advice as to why it doesn’t move faster?
