Don't recognize that tractor? It's because it's a Kubota zero turn gas powered.

Any way, I spun the belt. Found a chunk of grape vine in the rear pulley. Put the belt back, engaged the blades and they are still dead.

Any addicted Kubota owners have a zero turn that might know where I should check now.

BTW, I'm a 71 yr old woman so some things are going to be out of skill set. I did replace the starter solenoid a couple of years ago so I am capable of doing some repairs.

Now to go get the tractor out and put it to work.

There are a bunch of factory modifications that were supposed to be done on those. I don't know which ones it might still be eligible for and which are expired. But...if you call a dealer with your model and serial number, they can tell you.

Likely, the belt is off of one of the pulleys on the mowing deck. Or perhaps the clutch and/or wires are damaged.

Thanks for that info. I'll contact them today.

Belt isn't off anymore. I've checked all of the other pulleys and it's in place. What I don't like the feel of is how loose the belt is at rest. So, something is not right somewhere and now I do have more serious concerns about what it is.
