Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): lawnmower blades, lawnmower blades, pulley


Question
My lawnmower was cutting fine; then it started to smoke from underneath.  I shut it off & restarted it, but now it will not cut.

Answer
 Hello Kita:

 From your Description, I Think you have a Problem with the Deck Idler or One of the Blade Mandrels(Towers) or Something got Wedged Between the Belt and Pulley and Locked Up the Belt and Burnt it Apart. Remove the Deck and Check the Idlers and the Mandrels. The Belt will have to be Replaced. Send me the Make and Model Numbers Off of the Mower and I May be Able to Locate a Breakdown for you to View Online. It will also Help me to Answer any more Questions you May have about the Mower and Deck. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
