Blade won't turn on push mower after hitting stump
Comments (7)You caused the oil leak by tilting it up with the carburetor side down, which you should never do. Sometimes oil is sucked into the cylinder and results in a hydraulic lock. Take the spark plug and air filter out. If it's a pleated-paper filter, you'll need to get a new one if the mower can be used again. Pull the starter cord with the plug out to get a feel for the severity of the problem and to clear the oil from the combustion chamber. Now you can tilt it up with the carb side high to check for a bent crankshaft. Spin the blade to see if the blade bolt head seems to describe a small circle rather than just turning in place. The other problem usually resulting from an accident like this is the flywheel probably sheared off the key and tuned on the shaft. You'll most likely have to reset the flywheel before it will run. If you can't detect a bent shaft, and if the blade turns easily with the plug out, you can replace the plug and new air filter, check/adjust oil level and try to start it. If it kicks back and backfires, etc., you'll have to reset the flywheel with a new 'Woodruff key'....See Morereplacing cutting blades on singer ultralock
Comments (2)I've been sewing fovr over 55years,and one place i draw the line at is changing the blades on my serger'!!I tried it once many years ago and ended up taking it in and having them do it. I took mine back to the dealer i've been going to for many years and the owner changed them for me,no charge.I would have gladly paid if he had charged me. It's so worth the hassel to have those who know what they are doing to do it for you. JMO Kathi...See MoreHonda HRR2169VYA hard to start/pull cord after changing blades
Comments (2)Sounds like the blades may be installed upside down, don't laugh it happens all the time. The dimple in the center faces down, not up into the recess on the mounting plate which will bind the bearing....See MoreJohn Deere STX blades stop after heating up
Comments (2)If you have confirmed that the PTO has actually quit driving and not a belt tension or other deck issue, I would suspect the ground cable at the engine mount bolt may be loose. There is a circuit breaker on the earlier STX's. It is a small rectangular metal piece w/ 2 wires attaching to it in liew of a fuse and holder. (in the wire between the + battery terminal of the starter solenoid and your ignition switch)You can look at JD parts and check with your serial number....See Moreskoot_cat
