Hey all. I have a little RX73 mower and ran into a problem yesterday, literally. I was mowing and I hit a big tree root with the blade.
The shock from the impact caused the blade pulley to break clean off the shaft. It looks to me like a weld broke because I don't see any other way the pulley could have been attached to the shaft.
Basically I want to know if the pulley is welded on there from the factory and what I can do to fix it. Can I just bring the deck somewhere and have the pulley welded back on or do I have to replace the whole pulley/shaft assembly? What kind of costs am I looking at?
Thanks for any input anyone can give!
