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?
Yes, a 46-inch Murray riding lawn mower typically uses two belts. One belt is for the engine to the deck drive, while the other is for the deck to the blades. It's important to consult the owner's manual for specific details on the belts required for your model.

That depends on what state you are in. I'm in FL and have a 42" for sale
I have Murray 42" cut riding mower that the belt came off. How do I put the belt back on?
Normally you will start to hear a loud grumbling sound from underneath the mower when the blades are engaged. With the mower shut off, release the tension from the belt for the blades. Raise the deck so you can grab the blades from the bottom. You should not be able to rock the blades from side to side or up and down. If you can then you probably have a bad spindle. You can do this for wach of the spindles to check them all.
There is a yellow wire under the seat on my 14.5 HP Murray 42'' deck mower, and plug it in or don't that's where all killswitches are on a Murray lawnmower and pretty sure they still are today.
To install the main drive belt on a Murray riding mower, first ensure the mower is turned off and the key is removed for safety. Remove the mower deck by disconnecting the belt and any necessary bolts. Next, route the new drive belt around the engine pulley and axle pulley, following the mower's belt routing diagram, which is usually found on the mower's frame. Finally, reattach the deck and check the tension on the belt before starting the mower.
Look under the seat. There should be an info plate.
Have not seen picture of belt for troybilt riding mower(deck ) my problem is when I disengage blades,it does not have enough slack and blades keep turning
Mower blades typically stop engaging when you lower the cutting deck to prevent damage to the blades and ensure safety. Lowering the deck often engages a safety mechanism that disconnects the blades to avoid contact with the ground or obstacles. Additionally, it helps prevent stalling the engine by reducing the load on the mower when the deck is at a lower height. This design feature ensures optimal performance and longevity of the mower.
first three things to check are: 1. low tire pressure 2. make sure both blades(if 2 blades) are in good shape. 3. look at deck. wheels ok. deck level. there are adjustments for deck.\ hope this helps.
