[Orkin Yards]

I have a 4 year old 36" Scag recently put new drive belts, tires, and tranny to engine belt....today i was mowing and it sounded like it was bogging down and then just died...looked under the mower my clutch was smoking and what looks like a washer had fallen off, what does this mean?!? it is a 12.5 kaw....

your clutch pilot bearing went- time for a new clutch

when you put the new tranny to engine belt on, did you tigthen the belt as tight as it would go or did you leave a little slack it in? there should be some tension but not as tight as you can get the belt. this will cause it to burn up early.

Yep, sounds like the clutch is toast. Sorry, them clutches are not to cheap.
