  • In "The Wake-Up Call", Taryl shows William (and you at home) how to fix a sticking deck engagement on a Craftsman/Poulan/Weed Eater/Central Park 42'' riding lawn mower. Prior to the fix, Taryl receives a 2 am wake-up call for service, much to Taryl's annoyance. And There's Your Dinner!!

      I have an issue maybe you can help with. I've got a Troy Bilt 1842 that when the blades are engaged it takes a while before they get up to speed. I've replaced all the pulleys and belts

    Taryl, you're the best! Very informative plus lots of fun. I'm an old guy (68) and remember hanging out in machine shops and gas stations in rural NC. Started out as a kid fixing flats (a weekly event) on my bicycle, then trying to get my first $50 junker Ford on the road. You could hang out with the older guys, learn something and maybe even get a sandwich and RC Cola if you swept up the place, cleaned out the grease pit and dumped the ash trays. You take us back to the old days! Mechanics back then didn't have clean clipboards, clean fingernails, wear ties and girly earrings! Back to the present... a month ago I successfully replaced my Craftsman's blades after watching another of your videos. Now I want to pull my deck again to check a few things you covered here. Thanks again! You really should be on prime time TV!

    So I just changed my spindles, pulleys, blades, cleaned the deck, and fixed my blade disengaging issue. All thanks to your video. Probably took a little longer than it should have but hey it was my first time. Thanks for the great tutorial!!

    Mr Gross. Thank you so much for your instructional videos!!!!! I have a 2005, Crapsman LT2000 garden tractor, that I am keeping alive. Somehow, I sheared off the support that suspends the deck, after a pulley spline "rounded out." I had already replaced the engine with a real Kohler, Command, from a "Briggs -n-Scrappin," and numerous spindle replacements. I was ready to give up and trash the "tractor" because of the sheared support. A neighbor had a old rusted deck. I cut off the three welded tabs, that support the idler pulleys, and mig welded it my deck. You inspired me to not quit. I have a kubota tractor with loader, backhoe, and belly mower. But, I am challenged to keep the Crapsman alive. 90% of these mowers are made by MTD, a corporation that began in Cleveland, Ohio, 15 miles from me, in the 1930's, by real machinists. Thank you so much. Junior, William, Ronny, and that "Taryl" guy, are a really a good crew. Ron

    My Ariens 42" gear driven rider has the exact same deck. I had some broken blade spindle mounts and had the problem with the blade not disengaging. This was the exact fix I needed and I learned all I need to know about my mower deck from this video. I just got done gooberin' it up and it works perfectly now.

    Thanks for the great video Taryl! It was as if it was custom made for me. I have a Craftsman LT2000 year 2008 and my problem was the exact opposite. My blades would NOT spin half the time when engaged. Last weekend I dropped the deck and applied your fix to the letter and, PRESTO, smooth as silk now. I even used the anti-sieze goop like you. Keep up the great work. I learn a lot. Your videos are not run of the mill. They address real world problems. Even the odd problems that only an experienced guy like you and your crew see. In this case, you used your engineering skill and mind to solve the problem WITHOUT new parts. You were right, anyone else would have simply ordered new parts. Keep it up. I need my dinner!

    This is one of the first T.F.A. videos I ever watched. Probably 8 years ago. It came in handy then and again today as my new used Craftsman mower wasn't wanting to engage the blades. Ground the divots out and goobered the deck up with never-seize and she's a happy lawn tractor again! Thanks again Taryl!

    Thank you so freaking much, man. Taryl, you saved my biscuits with this one. I've been trying to figure out why my blades won't disengage for a long time. Haven't fixed it yet, but from what I have gathered, going down there and pulling and wiggling and observing, this is definitely my problem. Great work!

Watch this video and did the exact same thing you showed and BAM. Engages and disengages as it should. Hes got a beautiful running and mowing tractor now. Thank you Taryl.

    Awesome! I have this exact same Craftsman LT200. Mine was seized in the same place. Replaced both pulleys 173437 & 173437 (they are slightly different), cleaned up all the surfaces with a wire brush attachment for a drill, used anti-seize and this video. No longer chews the deck belt and disengages perfectly. Thank you sir!

    Taryl, I wanted to say Thank You!! Been working on my Husqvarna 42" deck. Replaced spindles, pulleys, and blades brakes. Everything was great..till the brake part. Just wouldn't work quite right. All parts I reused except new brake pads. Took it apart twice but it just wasn't smooth as it should've been. Saw the video, took it apart and used power wire brush to clean the original parts. Then I "goobered" it up as you said and put it back together like you did. Worked perfectly!! That polishing and taking off all the 10yr old crap (roughness" was the trick. The "goobering" I actually said out loud for luck as I put it back together. Thanks buddy! Keep up the work.
