Jul 2, 2010 / EZR 1542 blades won't engage #1 M mrstang01 New member Joined Jul 2, 2010 Messages 1 Tractor Ariens EZR 1542 I just replaced the blades and belt on the deck, and now the blades won't engage without smoking the belt. Could the blades be too tight? I checked the belt, it's the same part number and length as the one I took off.

There will frequently be at least one guide associated each pulley.
