Disengaging blades when mowing completed

Under seat of tractor theres a plate that says model # it looks like 917. 000000 i need that # please and i can help you with the problem it sounds like the belt isnt disengaging which will cause blades to continue to go.

Is your spring hooked up.

see page 24 of owners manual.

the brakes on the deck belt not working belt to tight or deck not fully disengaging

Hi,
When the mower is off and the clutch is disengaged you should not be able to physically turn the blade(s) if you can then you need to adjust the blade brake (look on the mower deck and you should see what appears to be a brake pad). Your owners manual will show you how to adjust. If you need a copy of the owners manual then I would suggest going to www.managemyhome.com and downloading a free copy of the manual for your mower (Need model number which starts is located under the seat).
Good luck!

model 917258862 mower was given to me. sat outside numerous years. I've managed to get it to start run and drive, but cant get blades to engage. don't know what the wires are for or do that go to some sort of pulley attached to the bottom of motor. can somebody help me pls ?

Get a can of penatating oil and spray the pivot point of the idler arm on the deck. That's the one that moves back and forth when you lift the blade engagement lever.

It might not be disengaging the mower deck all the way off. I had this problem on an older model.

Try pulling on the cable coming down to deck. This cable might be your problem. Also check that the spring on the end of this cable is present and functional.

Ihave craftsman Lawn Tractor was cutting grass and it stop moving forward or backward. Can you help me
