Hello All,
I am new to this forum. I just purchased the attached Exmark Commercial 36" Walk Behind (hopefully the pictures are showing). I purchased this unit in order to mow my residiential slope (I mow it sideways, not up and down). I previously was using a 21" mower and it was taking way too long!
The mower is so old that I cannot find a model number anywhere on it or a year/build date. I am guessing it is from the 80's, maybe early 90's? Can anyone provide me information on this mower?
The white decals are all old and there is no ink remaining on them anymore.
The belt on the bottom of the unit already ripped - the belt that drives off of the motor and the variable speed pulley pushes against in order to adjust the speed (not the blade belts and not the belts around the rear wheels). I replaced it with a 35" new belt, but it seem too loose. Does anyone happen to know the belt size for this particular belt?Separately, I want to install a kill switch. It seems that if this things gets away from me, that it will simply keep running and moving with the blades still spinning. With the lack of safety controls - maybe it is from the 70's!!!???? The last picture shows the only wire coming from the new Kawasaki engine. I pulled the wire apart (disconnected it) while the engine was running, but the engine did not die (it kept idling). Any thoughts on how to install the kill switch? The mower already has a Toggle switch on it, but with the installation of the newer motor, the toggle switch was bypassed.
Thanks for any help you can provide!!!!
