Thanks Rivets. I just found the problem about an hour ago. I started following the wiring and there was a 40 amp inline fuse near the battery that was blown. Stuck a new one in and was on my way. Thanks again for the replies, I appreciate it.

You are exactly right. My only issue is the closest dealer is over 50 miles away and I don't know how easy it will be to load on my trailer since the deck is stuck in the very lowest position. Just trying to see if I can avoid the trip but I understand what you are saying about losing the...

Bought a new 725DT6 a couple of weeks ago. Mowed 8 or so acres around the house yesterday. Brought it out today and lifted the powerfold deck. Took the blades off, sharpened them and put them back on. Let the deck down and the actuator just died. It stopped at about 3 1/2 inches. Won't...

Thank you for the reply. You are exactly right. It did turn out to be tension on the 2 pto clutch belts. A new spring fixed it. The old spring looked fine but it must have lost some of its "springiness" or tension. Again thanks for your reply. I am amazed at the knowledge I have found on...

You hit the nail on the head. Right after lunch today I replaced the idler pulley spring with a new one I had and it started cutting like a champ. Just a wag on my part but it worked. Thank you so much. You were right on the money!

I wasn't clear H.T. The squealing is coming from the rear around the clutch area. I was thinking the clutch belts might be slipping and squealing when they get a load on them. I'm not sure how tight these belts need to be and unlike the drive belts with the j-bolts I don't see a way to adjust...

H.T., the clutch is new. This started happening before the clutch was replaced. The problem srarted last fall and has gotten progressively worse. I don't think ithe new clutch is adjustable but I will check. I didn't replace the clutch because of this problem though. The bearings gave out...

The air filter is almost new and I clean it after every use. The motor itself doesn't seem to be losing power, just the pto shaft. I don't know if that makes sense but that is what it seems like to me. The mower is a 72" front mount. The pto shaft runs from the clutch at the back of the...

I replaced the inline fuel filter today and still have the same issue(s). Oh well changing the filter needed to happen anyway.

Yes, it is a diesel. It has probably been 2 or maybe 3 years. The engine doesn't seem to be bogging down but that is just my view. I have a couple of new filters and I will change the old one. Couldn't hurt. Thank You.

This started last summer and has gotten progressively worse. When I get into relatively tall grass I used to easily cut, the pto seems to slow down and there is a squeal in the rear of the tractor. If I back off the tall grass the pto comes back up to speed and works OK until the next patch of...

I will definitely use the anti-seize Bert. Thanks for the tip. If I get all of this done without losing an eye or a limb I will be happy!???

Thanks for the reply. I did take the belt off and the pulley does spin. The bearings are shot and I'm still trying to get the clutch off. I think it got so hot the stub shaft expanded and did not return to normal size. I am going to replace the shaft as well as the clutch and hopefully be...

Thanks for the reply. If I'm not mistaken you are the good guy who helped me with my broken pto coupler that was "frozen" to the shaft. I ordered a new clutch as the bearings around the center bolt are visible and there are metal shavings also visible. I'll take the bad clutch off while I'm...

The bearings went out on my PTO clutch while mowing last week. I've ordered a new one. This is probably a dumb question but is it normal for the engine to not turn over when the clutch bearings are seized up? I'm not much of a mechanic but thanks to the great advice from members of this forum...

While mowing yesterday the yoke with the sleeve that connects to the front mount mower broke. What was left was the square shaft that fits inside the sleeve and connects to the mower deck. That part looks fine. I decided to order the yoke and sleeve assembly as all that was left was the...

Does anyone have a routing diagram for the drive belt on a 9772 front mount deck? I have the new belt on and it is working but is rubbing against the base of the idler arm and smells like burning rubber so I know something is wrong. I have the belt routed on the inside of the idler arm base...

I know this is a dumb question. I want to see if the draw tube is clogged. Do I just twist and pull it out after removing the fuel line? I can't see anything attaching it to the fuel tank so I assume it just snaps into place? I'm ignorant but game.:confused3:

Brought my 722d out for the first time in a couple of months. It was running perfectly the last time I used it. It started fine but when I looked at the voltage meter it showed about 4 volts and did not appear to be charging. Turned the PTO on and it dropped down to about 2 volts. The battery...
