I bought a D100 new in 2012. It's been a great machine. I live in the mountains at 7,000' feet and only mow once per year. This fall my mower deck sounded really bad and it got louder and louder until it finally made a horrible sound, threw a belt, and the PTO stopped working. I pulled the deck and found one spindle that was bad. I also noticed that the main pully underneath the engine doesn't spin. So, I'm now worried that I may have damaged the main shaft/pully/PTO mechanism. The engine runs fine, but I can't get the PTO to manually engage. Did I do damage to the PTO system? If so, how can I diagnose? Hopefully it's repairable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
