Troubleshooting your Husqvarna front-engine lawn tractor when it won't cut grass

If the riding lawn mower runs but the blades won't cut the grass, the problem could be with the blade belt. Examine and replace the belt if you find it worn or broken. If the belt is okay, check the blade belt idler pulley, blade clutch cable and clutch lever assembly on tractors with manual blade actuators. On riding mowers that use a PTO switch to activate the blades, check the PTO switch and the electric clutch. Failed mandrel pulleys can also prevent the blades from spinning properly.

You'll need to replace the mandrel pulleys if they're worn or damaged

Husqvarna front-engine lawn tractor common replacement parts

• Seat switch. The seat switch recognizes whether you are sitting on the seat. If the seat switch doesn't detect you in the seat when you release the brake, the switch kills the engine. To prevent tampering, the seat switch also kills the engine when you release the brake if you unplug the seat switch wire harness.
• Starter motor. The starter motor spins the flywheel to start the engine when you turn the key to the start position.
• Oil filter. An oil filter is a filter designed to remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil, lubricating oil or hydraulic oil.
• Idler tension spring. The idler tension spring is used to pull the idler arm back to tighten the belt. The spring will usually connect to the idler arm on one end, and to the frame on the other.
• Ground drive belt. The ground drive belt connects the engine crankshaft to the transaxle pulley to drive the rear wheels.
