The most common problem is a seized shaft or pulley under the deck.
Perhaps you could raise the machine high enough to look and test the pulleys and shafts to see if one does not turn freely.
Other than that, if the motor is not running properly, that would cause the stalling.
God bless your efforts.
Pully shaft runs through deck to blade spindles. Wear floves amd wrap heavy rag around blade and hold tight whist undoing pulley nuts. Another option is to place a oil filter strap wrench around pulley grooves and tighyen to achieve leverage. Happy fixing.
Presuming you are talking about an oil leak from behind a pulley? All shafts as they exit the engine, have an oil seal fitted in the case and supply a tight seal to the shaft, if oil is leaking the seal is worn and needs replacing. depending on what the pulley is driving (cam belt), it could be a big job.
the pulley just bolts on 9/16 i think may have to use pipe wrench to hold shaft of pulley spray top of pulley with PB blaster should slide off might have to tap it some
Look at the front of the motor. Big pulley on the bottom center of block is attached to the end of the crankshaft. Crankshaft runs all the way through trhe bottom of the block. Remove oil pan and you can see it.
If the lower fan belt pulley you are referring to is the vibration damper or harmonic balancer, then that is the pulley that is attached to the engine crankshaft, and that pulley is what turns all the other pulleys on the engine. There is a seal on the shaft behind the pulley -the front main seal. This is what may be leaking oil, and if that is the case , the seal needs to be replaced.
If it is the front main seal, and you are going to tackle the repair, you need to get a Repair Manual for your vehicle and follow the directions for the fix.
Sounds like either the water pump or the thermostat housing. The water pump has a small hole in the bottom where the shaft comes through, when the water pump gets worn it will leak here so you know to replace the pump. The thermostat housing will be at the motor end of the upper radiator hose where it attaches to the motor. Hope this helps.
First is it a front seal ,or rear main seal,(front seal,being were you see the pulleys and fan belts,,you have to look at the bottom pulley,follow the shaft to the motor,where the shaft goes into the motor is the front seal,the pulley and everthing behind it has to come out then you pull out the seal,auto zone actually has free tool rental that you can pull the seal,and a tool to put it back in,if a rear main seal its where the shaft from the transmission meets the back of the motor,youll have to pull the trannsmission back,check where you see the oil leek from,the front seal you can do if mechanically inclined,but if its the rear you should take to a mechanic,if this helps please give me a fix ya vote
