fixed a wire harness in a 184 lo-boy for a guy when he got the tractor the wiring was all messed up. deck switch was not wired, solenoid did not work on and on ect. wanted a new harness bit not available for 184. after fixing all problems using a wiring diagram found online. everything works good. starts right up, sounds like it runs good. but when u turn on the electric clutch for the blades engine really bogs down. owner had already put a new belt on it before i had started working on it, he said he thought the belt wastoo tight, my idea was when he sharpened theblades he tightened them too tight and put the spindle bearings in a bind. anyone have any ideas?

Take the belt off and turn it by hand.

Is it new enough to have a safety brake that might be dragging?
