Question
i just aquired a john deere stx38 yellow deck with a 12.5 hp kohler....the motor wont turn over. it seems to be locked but i think it is that the pto clutch bearing went out and locked it up seeing as how it stopped while mowing with the last owner....could this be the problem? i am only 16 and am kinda new to this i guess so i was wondering someone elses oppinion....thanks, bobby
Hello Bobby:
Remove the Belts and the PTO from the Engine. Then See if the Engine Turns. It is Unusual for the PTO to Lock an Engine, but it Does Happen. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Numbers and Click Find. Then Select the Sectional File. Then Select the Section of the Mower you Wish to View Online. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck
Respectfully
John
