You took it apart without taking notes/pictures on what went where?! Mucho intelligente!
You will have to pay for the schematic if you can get one.

Remove blade drive belt. turn each blade by hand. Sounds as if you have bearing problems. Each spindle has an upper and lower bearing of the same size. They are notorious for going out! You can get them at most any auto parts store. Also check the tensioner pulley bearing. They go out quite often. As for the jerking, make sure the two drive disengage rods are fully in. Check tension on drive belt and belt. These belts get worn quickly. Be sure to blow the trash and dirt from your mower after each use. Especially the Hydraulic motors and the mower deck. This will save you lots of trouble. If you wash the mower, be sure and run the blades and Hrdroes to get water dried from bearings and pulleys and belts.

Was it working correctly earlier or is this your initial operation?
According to the product manual for "loss of drive":
1. Bypass linkages in the bypass position
2. Hydro belt worn, damaged, or broken
3. Idler spring loose or broken
1. Make sure that the bypass linkages are in
the drive or engaged position. Located at
the rear of the machine. Refer to decal on
the rear of the unit.
2. Replace Hydro belt.
3. Replace Idler spring
Engage drive
Check the adjustment on the accelerator linkage. Make sure it is fully engaging.

sounds to me that the blades are hung up, either on the deck or something is caught on the bottom of the deck or top. Carefully inspect all things mentioned, if all checks out good then the PTO is seized. Good Luck Tim

Hello,
My name is Dane and I am going to try to help you solve your problem. I've done a little research on this mower and I believe your problem could be your drive belt. Swisher Part number 6046 which is a 47" belt. I have found your operators manual at the following link:
http://www.swisherinc.com/manuals/PDF/ZT/ZT2560.pdf
I didn't know if you had the 06-046 model or the 07-152, but the belts are the same for each. Once a belt becomes worn they will give the symptoms you are discribing. You can replace the belt per this manual and all should be well.
I hope I've helped. If you found this information useful, please leave me some THUMBS UP as deserved. Thank you! Dane

Check the all wiring from the engage blade button back to the electric clutch for worn spots that may be grounding out on the frame.
How do you change the oil in a ZT2560 Swisher
the drain plug is under the starter when removing the plug make sure to drain the oil into a pan. after it's finished draing replace the plug and refill with the proper grade of oil start with a 1/4 quart of oil and check the level on the dipstick. if still low keep adding ( little at a time) until it reaches the full mark on the dipstick...good luck
We need a photo of how the hydraulic belt goes on
It should be fairly simple,if you remember always put the V of the belt into V pulleys and the back of the belt on flat or idler pulleys. Its fairly easy to figure out. I didn't find a diagram of the belt system that runs the hydraulic pump. I hope this helps some.
