I was cleaning my deck through the hose port after a mow (smelled rubber much of the time I was mowing).
While I was cleaning the deck the blades stopped moving and the belt (less than 2 years old) blew out in pieces.
unsure why this happened. I ordered 2 spindles to install, but I dont know why...
Troy Built rider mower, 42" purchased in 2017.
The blades are getting chopped up as shown in this picture.
I only drive this on my lawn. Any suggestions why this is happening?
