Swisher 44-Inch 12.5 HP Trailcutter #RTB12544 - Page 2 Questions & Answers
What direction to tighten the nut on the cutting deck of a Swisher 44inch rough cut trail cutter?
If this is just a mounting bolt it will be right-hand threaded meaning that with you looking at the nut/bolt, the nut will turn clockwise to tighten.
Some blade bolts (and some old car lugs nuts are left-hand thread on one side of the car, as is the left pedal on a bicycle) are left-hand threaded and it can get real exciting til you figure out you hand to turn them counterclockwise to tighten
Can a bad battery cause clutch to slip?
Not likely. But to eliminate that possibility try connecting a battery charge to the battery and try engaging the blades then. Also check all electrical connection in system for corrosion and tightness. Lastly With compressed air blow all dirt and debris from the mower, especially clutch area and Hydraulic pumps. Check tension on blade drive belt.
