Snapper self propelled mower won't stop self propelling

11 years ago

I have a Snapper 7900931 self propelled mower that is several years old. It has now developed a problem where the clutch will not disengage. I checked the drive adjustment and that is not the problem. There is no tension on the belt, yet it grabs the pulley and turns it like crazy. I can't figure out why this is happening.

Died grass build up in the drive pulley or possibly near the transmission creating a little more tension than normal? You could look on a parts list and see if maybe there is a missing belt guide as well.
