hey guys usually on a walker mower when u flip the deck up to service blades u really can not spin the blades.

today while servicing machine i noticed the blades canbe spun, i flipped the deck down in mowing position there is a ton of play,

im guessing either the pto gearbox is on its way out or the center gearbox is shot.

i cut a lawn and seems to be operating well???????????

Or the shear pin in the drive shaft is broke...

There is a shear pin in the drive shaft under the flip up cover. You have sheared it. Do not run it until you replace the shear pin or you will damage the shaft and gear box. There was a post on here about this a few days back I will find it for you.
