I have a john deere riding mower.The blade hesitates when I first engage it. Now it will stop cutting when the grass is longer and then start again when I get into shorter grass. Do I need a new belt to make it tighter?Even when I put it onto the highest cut , it will still slow down and miss cutting. And every time it starts up it hesitates and is slow at first.

I just bought an old John Deere 68 riding mower but it does not cut grass even though the blade spins when engaged. I made sure the blade was on correctly but it still doesn't cut. I noticed the pulley...

Are you sure it is the correct blade and when it is turning the sharp edge is on the leading side? A spinning blade will cut grass even if the blade is dull. Did you lower the deck to the correct level?
