I have run this cutter since 2016. yesterday I hit a log buried in the grass. Right away the mower began to shutter and vibrate the whole tractor after resetting. At first I thought I had something underneath the cutter which would spin out. That was not the case. On closer inspection, the shield at the gear box had come loose and the drive appeared to be a little more exposed as it may have pulled away from the gear box. I have not had to work on the mower before and looking for thoughts from those who have. Isn't there a shear pin in the shaft? If it sheared, I am thinking the drive shaft has pulled back and may be causing the massive shutter. I did not have time yesterday to pull it apart and wanted to tap the vast knowledge here on possible causes or potential problems. The gear box did look intact and underneath was solid. Appreciate any comments
