Working on a Husqvarna 960430036-00 LGT2654 tractor. The owner installed new spindles recently and new spindle pulleys and discovered that when she engaged the deck mower, it would severely labor the engine until it got up to speed but then it wouldn't cut high weeds! So, I get the tractor...see one pulley that is too small, replace it, install two new spindles w/pulleys, new belt. Everything spins very freely which I checked before re-installing mowing deck. I engage electronic mowing clutch, bam! Still labors the engine terribly! Triple checked the belt placement...I've got the belt on correctly. Is it possible the electric clutch is binding? I did try the electric clutch without the deck installed...it seemed to engage perfectly with no noise or problems! I'm at my whits end on this deck!??
