The deck on a lawn mower is the shaped metal shroud that keeps the spinning blade(s) from being exposed to the user during operation. Many manufactures use the shape of the deck to create a mild vacuum that draws the blades of grass up toward the mower blade(s). After mowing the lawn, some grass will be stuck on the underside of the deck. If the lawn is somewhat long and wet, the grass will build up on the inner surface of the deck to a point where only the blade(s) have clearance. This stops the deck shape from performing its designed function. Deck cleanout is performed while the mower is NOT running. Turn the mower on its side and scrape the excess grass from out of the underside of the deck.
The blade on that side may be dull or bent due to hitting something. Could also be that the mower deck is not level, or a tire on the opposite side may be low.
To adjust the mower height for optimal grass cutting, locate the adjustment lever or knob on the mower deck. Raise or lower the lever to change the cutting height. For shorter grass, lower the deck, and for longer grass, raise it. Make small adjustments until you find the right height for a clean cut without damaging the grass.

Your mower may be leaving clumps of grass after cutting the lawn because the grass is too long or wet, the mower blades are dull, or the mower deck is set too low. This can cause the grass to clump together instead of being evenly dispersed.
I changed the blade belt on my Murray mower. Now one blade stops and goes. If I lower the deck the blade stop . What did I do wrong?
The STX-38 should have an electric clutch for the mower deck. The switch to engage it is on the right rear fender. It is a toggle switch. You will have to pull up on the switch and forward to engage the blades.
