Craftsman DLT3000 Blades not fully disengaging
2005 Craftsman DLT3000
Tried all I could think of ... new springs. New brake arms, new engagement cable and checked and smoothed the engagement plate which was barely notched. The engagement plate is moving fine and brakes are engaging.
If the deck is lowered all the way and I engage the blades, then disengage them, they will stop spinning after a few seconds but if I then raise the deck, the blades will re-engage on their own. The same if I try to disengage the blades (via lever) while deck is in a higher position than 1; they will not disengage. The higher the deck level the more they will engage.
They do not appear to be fully engaged, as there is a kind of grinding crunching noise and the smell of the belt burning.
Any ideas would be super appreciated!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
