Installed new spindle bearings and mowed a section of the yard and it did really good. I found that a slow pull on the PTO switch engages the blades, no yanking. PTO still feels like it's dragging when turned by hand with the belt on. Possible PTO replacement? Warner clutch date code shows April 19 12 10.
Info on the rest of the mower, it has about 642 hours on it. Courage 20 is in great shape surprisingly. No cracks and the cylinder is like new (head gasket). Fixed valve cover leak. Is the drive axle at the end of it's life cycle or can I get a couple hundred more hours out of it? Anything else stand out at this many hours?
