You have a very durable and mostly trouble free mowing outfit. We have a right discharge 59 on a B and it has to be pulled way down before the outside blade stops. Usually the tractor runs out of ponies first. This mower has been on this tractor since 1974 and has thousands of hours in it and the belt is the only weak point I have found on it. The belt has to be very tight and the book even states that fact. It said the bearings are modern and able to take a very tight belt, or something similar to that. A worn belt won't pull it no matter how tight it is and a new one costs a lot of money for no more than you get. I have replaced one noisy bearing in all the years we have had it. Worn pulleys could be your problem too, as someone else said. Seems like the blades stop a little easier on ours than in the past so we might have worn pulleys too. Jim

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
