Or possibly a bearing going bad causing it to cut in & out on overload (klixon switch in top of motor can.). That would be a relative slow cycle of cutting in and out as compared with a loose connection/sticky brush.On 24 Apr 2007 at 22:45, Mike wrote:The right deck motor cuts in and out ...Sounds like either a loose connection or a sticking brush. Not necessarily to diagnose this problem, but one good test to do every spring is to unplug the deck from the tractor, and spin one motor by hand and make sure it turns easily and when spinning it the other two spin some too. Repeat with each motor. Double check that you're NOT plugged before trying this - won't work if plugged in, and want to keep all our fingers intact. - Tom Coate Purcellville, VA |
