Why won't my Husqvarna mower blades engage?

If your Husqvarna riding mower blades don't engage, you need to check the PTO switch, drive belts, frozen pulley, and make sure the battery is charged. Moreover, you can also check to see if the blade clutch is working correctly and the safety switch is off.

Why wont my blades won't engage?

Belt-the number one cause for your blades not to engage is that your belt is either stretched or loose causing it to slip or fall off completely. Belt could have snapped also. When you are trying to process too much grass/leaves they could pack up under your deck and push off your belt.

How do I know if my PTO clutch is bad?

Activate the PTO engagement lever, then disengage it. Turn it on and off several times. If you do not hear a disengagement noise or see the power takeoff pulley stopping or slowing down at any time, it indicates the clutch and plates have galled together from excessive heat, or the slip ring has jammed.

Why did my mower blades stop working?

If your mower blades will not turn after the blade controls have been engaged, your deck belt may be broken. ... Clean out any debris or grass that may have built up above the mower deck, and remove any guards or covers that protect the deck belt system. Once the belt can be accessed, inspect it for any damage or wear.
