Additional Information

The Craftsman lawn tractor blade brake arm linkage, part number 747-05105B, helps stop the mower blades when the blade engagement is disengaged. This linkage applies pressure to the pulley system, serving as a critical safety feature that prevents blade rotation once the blades are turned off. This linkage replaces part number 747-05105.

Replace the blade brake arm linkage if the blades continue spinning after disengagement or if the mower does not stop cutting immediately. These issues can indicate a worn or damaged linkage and may pose a safety risk if not addressed.

Installation requires standard tools like a wrench set and moderate mechanical skill. Always wear work gloves to protect your hands and disconnect the spark plug wire before starting any repairs. Replacing the blade brake arm linkage restores safe operation and reliable control of your lawn tractor?s cutting system.
