If the belt is on, take it off. Check ALL of your pullies and idlers. Spin them, they should spin smoothly & quietly. If they feel "crunchy" or make excessive noise or if it is bent, replace. Also, try to wiggle them side ways. If it wobbles, replace. If this is on a mower deck, you may have to engage the blades to release a blade brake. Safety first. Engine OFF. Spark plug(s) & battery disconnected. Don't be that guy, saver your fingers.

SOURCE: both leaf springs have come off the roller wheel guide

You will have to take the case apart and push them into place. If you have access to a hemostat or a nice long, this pair of needle nose pliers, it will be helpful. There is possibly a screw inside that holds them in place. If so, get the smallest bottle of blue threadlocker that you can find. It's quite expensive and you only want enough to wet the screw threads. Only use blue, it's removeable. If you use red or black, you will not be able to turn the screws if the problem ever happens again.

SOURCE: Swisher lawnmower wont mow

Yes It would. The belt doesn't just wear it slackens also. It will probably turn the blades when not under load but as soon at it attempts to cut grass there is not enough grip.
Replace the belts first and it should be fine.

SOURCE: Eureka 5843 belt keeps slipping off of drive spindle.

Tough one. Typically the only 2 things that the belt contacts is the motor drive spindle and the brush roller. Anything else would only be there to protect the belt from debris. Can you turn the brush by hand and see why the belt is coming off? Is the spindle wobbly? If so, you may need another motor as I don't think it is easy to get parts for the motor. Hope this helps and good luck!

SOURCE: dyson dc17 animal motor spindle keeps clogging

If you have animals get rid of the dyson and go to a vacuum that has a metal brushroll and better airflow. There is no fix on the dyson they just are not good on hair of any kind.

How to lock the jigsaw blade to make straight cuts on my Boschest 1587svs?

Use a straight edge guide. Clamp it on the work so the jigsaw can run against it. Be patient and go very slowly.

Left side is scalping especially when turning

Stephen Bent/damage blade or spindle, check your deck for support link pin missing, damaged or rusted out brackets, blade spindle loose/mount damages or rusted out, missing deck support spring,wheel/roller if equipped, damaged blades, Recheck tire pressure and front steering axles for bent/damage, etc.
When measuring deck for level, measure at blade tips not the deck on a flat level surface. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Why is it that my riding Lawnmower doesn't cut when I lower the deck to cut the grass lower

Tighten or replace drive belt. Before you do that though, with the deck raised right up and engine switched off reach underneath deck and grab hold of blades and try to move them up and down. Make sure there is no build up of debris between pulleys and guards. Remove the belt off pulleys if you can. Turn blades and check they are free to turn. What you are doing here is checking the blade spindle bearings for wear or damage. If they have excessive movement or feel rough and/or tight replace them. If they are good and the belt looks in good order, tighten belt That is done by adjusting the deck rods so the deck moves back. You tube have some videos of belt adjustment.

Sears Craftsman rider mower bought in 2001. Still runs really great. However, lately it will not cut the grass when I lower the deck to positions 1-3; the blades seem to stop; no cutting action at all. As...

Do the blades need sharpening? Check the belts for tightness and the spring that holds the tension. what stops? The blades stop, but the belt is still turning? Check to also make sure the blades turn freely with the belt disengaged. you may have a spindle problem too.

How to remove ribbon

This comes out of the manual.....

While turning the ribbon take-up spindle release knob counterclockwise, squeeze the
ribbon against the ribbon take-up spindle tension blades.

When the tension blades collapse into the ribbon take-up spindle, hold the release knob
and rotate the spent ribbon toward the rear of the printer. Then, slide the ribbon off the
ribbon take-up spindle.

Now sometimes the ribbon gets wound so darn tight that it might take "Superman Strength Hands" to make this work. In this case I use a razor blade and cut the ribbon off. If you do this please be VERY CAREFUL and, as you get more and more ribbon off keep trying the "NORMAL" method. When you get down to the end make sure you don't cut so hard as to scratch the take up spindle.

Good Luck
