Why does my Major Lawn Mower leave a streak of uncut grass?

  Virginia SuarezAug 15, 2025
  If your Major Lawn Mower leaves a streak of uncut grass, several factors could be the cause. The blades might be dull or bent, requiring replacement. The carrier RPM could be too low, so ensure you're using the correct PTO speed. If the ground speed is too fast, reduce it by shifting to a lower gear. In case the grass is down from previous weather conditions, mow in only one direction. Also, check for any build-up of materials under the machine and clean it. Finally, ensure the blades are mounted correctly with the cutting edge facing the correct rotation.

Also, make sure you're using the correct type of lubricant; if not, replace it. Additionally, remove any excessive grass or debris build-up around the gearbox. Lastly, ensure that the PTO isn't running too fast and lower the RPM rate if needed.

Why does my Major MJ71-190 discharge material unevenly?
- R
  Robert BassAug 22, 2025
  If your Major Lawn Mower discharges material unevenly, creating bunches along the swath, it could be due to a couple of reasons. If the material is too high and there's too much of it, reduce your ground speed while maintaining the recommended RPM at the tractor PTO, or make two passes over the material, raising the machine for the first pass and lowering it to the desired height for the second pass, cutting at a 90-degree angle to the first pass. If the grass is wet, allow it to dry before mowing, slow down the tractor's ground speed while keeping the engine running at full PTO RPM, and consider cutting lower.

  If your Major Lawn Mower requires excessive power, it might be due to advancing into grass too rapidly, so reduce your forward travel speed. Also, check if the machine is hitting the ground and raise it, resetting the wheels. Finally, inspect the blades for wear or dullness; sharpen or replace them as needed.

  If your Major Lawn Mower is noisy, start by checking the oil level in the gearbox and add oil if it's low. Ensure all bolts are fully tightened. Verify the PTO RPM rate and adjust as needed. Replace any bent or missing blades. Check that the PTO shaft is aligned correctly and that the output shaft on the gearboxes is not bent. Also, check the driveline between gearboxes is aligned.

What causes a gearbox leak in my Major Lawn Mower?
- D
  Diamond DaySep 7, 2025
  If the gearbox on your Major Lawn Mower is leaking, several issues could be the cause. A damaged oil seal is a common culprit, so replace the seal. If the shaft is bent or rough in the oil seal area, replace or repair the shaft and replace the oil seal. Ensure the oil seal is installed correctly; if not, replace it. If the oil seal isn't sealing in the housing, replace the seal or use a sealant on the outside diameter. Also, check that the oil level isn't too high and drain it to the proper level if needed. Inspect the gearbox for holes or a damaged gasket, and replace the gearbox or gasket as necessary. Finally, tighten any loose bolts.

  If the blade of your Major Lawn Mower is scalping the ground, it could be because the machine is set too low; raise the machine and reset the wheels. If the field is ridged, try cutting it at a different angle. If the field is too wet, stop and wait until it has dried.
