First off, thanks to everyone who has helped over the past days identifying my mower deck, helping get it mounted, and helping out with belts. So far I have gotten it mounted, figured out the wrong belt (1 long one instead of 3 separate ones) came with it and I replaced them with correct ones, and have got it running without belts popping off. My issue now is, when I engage the PTO it really lugs the engine down and I can barely go in 1st gear without killing the engine, even with the deck up in the air and not cutting grass at all. I loosened all the belts past where I thought they should be and that helped some but it still wouldn't cut grass. So...I removed one of the end belts so only 2 blades were spinning and again that helped a little, but not enough to mow. If I disengage the PTO the engine roars back up to normal speed like nothing. I chekced and rechecked belt tension, I can spin all the spindles by hand easily (even with belts on), and the idler pulleys spin fine also. Am I asking too much of the Cub to run this mower? I thought trying with 2 blades (~40 inches cutting) would give me an idea if I could handle a C-2 mower or a 42 inch Woods but I don't think it could even do that. Sorry about long post but I need to get this mower working in the next few weeks as my brother is coming 1200 miles to pick it up. Thanks in advance!

I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
