If you 22" blade is hitting the deck, you might have bigger problems. If you tried a new 22" blade and still hit the deck, you need to check the spindle and make sure the shaft is straight, they can and will bend. Second, make sure all the metal is straight and out of the way. I prey it is not the first, especially on a push mower. On a push mower that would be your crankshaft, and very expensive to replace. One that is bent, it will never run true again.

My mower is leaking oil at the bottom where the shaft comes out of the engine, just above the blade.
Take the engine off, if the blade adapter is pressed on, really don't have to worry about burning the seal, but heat it up and melt some candle wax around it, and pop it off.... now remove the sump (has bolts all the way around (get a new oil seal, remove the old one good) pull out the oil seal with a flat head, and install a undamaged new one..... but really it depends with what engine manufaturer it is, they are different. Do get a book on it, haynes is good.
Hi! I need help finding out how to repair my AutoDrive 42" 17HP Murray Riding Lawn Mower Widebody LT. We were mowing and hit something, the blade broke and the part or parts that holds the blade is broke/loose. Can someone please tell me what parts I will need to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.....

3-way Cutting Deck
Best way to see whats happened - pull the deck off. Heres a link to your lawntractors parts list :http://jackssmallengines.com/help.cfm - type in your model number under 'model' section - it appears you have a 2002 model.
Your 'mandrel' or deck spindle assy part number is :1001200MA - if you need a blade :095100E701MA - if you need a pulley -494199MA. Most lawntractors sometimes have a small block that bolts to the end of the spindle assy - apparantly yours dosent ( its designed that way). To replace the mandrel , its probably in the $60 range , pulleys( if needed) are like $15 - if a new blade is needed ( buy a set- not just one) theyre usually around $10-20 ( depending if its a mulching blade - theyre more - i bot two for my Murray and they were like $18 a piece). Any tractor parts place should be able to get those parts - ive also seen them at Tractor supply.
While the deck is off, it probably would be a good time to clean it, check the other mandrel housings/berings- replace if needed.

You will need the model number. Then you can go here and find the manual which should have a diagram in it. If not then you can contact customer service.

I recently became obsessed with lawn mower racing, i have an old 14hp Murray riding mower and i want to make it into a little project by making it faster, i'm going to take the blade deck off and all that etc. to make it a bit of a racing mower, not really fast because i dont want to spend much at all, i saw some videos on youtube that people just took the blade deck off and added smaller sprockets etc. but other than that u can keep it stock and taking off some parts to make it go faster, does anyone have any advice on whats a good idea to do so or have any instructional videos on how to do that? thank you so much :P
You are in luck. I was just looking at lawn mower racing web sites a couple days ago and book marked them. They have performance tips, chassis tips etc. Here are some links, actually one link which has a whole list of links. Have fun !!

Lawn Boy 10687 Insight Series 21-Inch 6.5 HP Gas Powered Self-Propelled Lawn Mower with Blade Control System & Sens-a-Speed (Non-CARB Compliant) Reviews.
This is the best cutter to use. The drive system is as intuitive as anyone could hope for, and makes cutting easier and faster. Unlike some other self-regulatory measures that have to push the mower at his own pace, Lawn Boy cut system is so fast that I can walk into a fast pace and were made earlier.
It seems a big fan of a high speed the pace of the staff is very active role, especially when the slopes and hills, like me, is just getting used to, accustomed to the court to continue, however, perform from far behind, and a lot of energy for me is the convenience of a tractor mower and, of course, still running, the bag is easy to empty. I use from the beginning and the humus is very good, my garden has many side hills and waterfalls and things around a tractor mower and cut it compared to my old Murray push mower high wheel is filled and no pressure on a tank by the court.
