I had the clutch and drive belt on my Lazer replaced last week.. Now there is what I feel is excessive vibration throughout the mower. This is without the blades engaged. My hands become kinda numb and tingly.

Anyone know what happened?

Could clutch be installed improperly? Un-ballanced clutch. Why was clutch bad?

 

[Lawn-Scapes]

No.. the clutch was good. Just felt like spending a couple of hundred dollars????

or are you asking why did it go bad?

Check all of your engine bolts, and check you hydro pumps to make sure they're all tight. Surpentine belt under the seat. - check that idler and make sure it's working properly. Does it do this when sitting still, or just when the machine is moving?

 

[Lawn-Scapes]

Sitting still or moving. High and low rpms. I'll probably bring it back in tomorrow. Just wanted to see if anyone knew what may be the problem.

 

[LAWNGODFATHER]

Did you install it or dealer?

Check make sure it don't have a loooong key in the pto shaft and the clutch is not vibrating or out of line.

The belt may be too tight, did he ck the tesion and adjust the pulley to the right of the clutch?

bent crank?

Geez, don't say that..... that was my first thought.

I agree with Redbull and Runner, at least that was my first thought.

Maybe they used the wrong size BFH on it and bent the output shaft?

OR, maybe the clutch is out-a-wack on the inside?

Not possible. the PTO is on a spring loaded tensioner. When installing a new belt it has the original tension from the factory (minus a slight wear of the spring).

If they used a BFH, then it was the wrong clutch, it should slide right on with a little elbow grease, no BFH needed.

It may very well be that the hole in the clutch was not machined on center and it is now runnig eccentric.have the dealer check it.

A flat spot on the belt could cause vibration.

Yes Big Friggin Hammer.

People please read posts throughlly.

Problem; with or without blades on. Sitting still or moving. High and low rpms.

 

[Cutter1]

sounds like the hydro belt is the problem. If it has a little chunk missing it will vibrate and make a lot of noise

Lazers Dont Vibrate, They THROBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
