What a racket and the last I saw of the shut off it hit the corner of her garden shed then took off across the road way up in the trees. Checked the blade and it looked pretty good but the mower began making a noise like there was a plastic bag wrapped around the blade then the mower began to shake and made some very strange grinding noise. Already picked out a new one that goes on sale on the 1st. 1 hour ago, fishing pete said: Check under the deck and see if the deck is bent and touching the blade. There are baffles under it and that could be touching the blade. What Pete said. Hit a half buried rock last summer and bent the deck. Put a giant pipe wrench on it and then a piece of pvc on the wrech for extra leverage and bent it back out. That was on a 66" deck pull behind, so probably over kill for a pusher, but you get the point. "all of jase's posts are valid." -Otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joetackle Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Mowed over a large root and the machine started shaking and clanking. Turns out that the blade came loose. Just tightened it and back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makorider Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'm the king of hitting chit. My old yard was so rooty, as much as I tried you just had to feel bad for the mower. Add kids leaving stuff on the lawn and.... There are also, depending on brand, blade 'surrounds' under the deck that get mauled and bent out of shape. They can account for a good amount of shake if you're getting blade contact, and you'd be surprised thinking blade contact would sound a lot different. I'm going to guess your blade is now way out of balance too...if you didnt bend the shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned that if the mower sits outside for a few days you're gonna want to go ahead and peek underneath before pulling the start cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
