Hi everyone,
Very new and inexperienced with mowers and forums!
But none the less here I am. I have just purchased what I believe to be a greenfield tractor 11 with a 28" cutting deck, it has a Briggs and strattton 12.5 hp engine. It is in pretty average condition but it was a real bargain.
Anyway as you would guess, it needs some work. I've read a lot in the last week but I still have a couple of problems
1. The notch bar adjustment will move forward to increase tension on drive belt when I lever it, but does not lock into any notches and just goes back to the same notch. Tried hammer with a block of wood, also using a steel pipe to lever the actual idler pulley forward with no succes. The reason I'm trying to increase the belt tension is that the mower struggles up small inclines on my block. I'm pretty sure I will have to replace the forward clutch lining but I just wanted to rule out the supposedly simple tasks first
2. The front left hand wheel scrubs out on the deck when on hard lock left hand down??
I am a pretty logical sort of guy and have grown up on a farm so have a broad mechanical knowledge of nothing specific, if you know what I mean. So if you have any suggestions or have encountered the same problems then I'd love to hear from you
Cheers
