Larry, most of the time when you get into the wire, string, rope or even old 
rugs you know it from that tell tail staccato beat coming from under the 
mower deck.
When it happens on a bush hog and you don't fix it right away you generally 
get to pull the gear box down and replace the seal.  Or you can take the 
approach
I'm currently using and fill the gear box with gun grease.  LOL.

That's almost as bad as the heavy-duty string trimmer cord I found on a 
riding mower this afternoon.  It's hard to tell how long it had been there. 
Some of the spindle parts were polished like a mirror.  When I took the 
repaired mower back to it's owner, I asked who owned the string trimmer?  As 
I suspected, he didn't realize he had wound about 15 feet of it very tightly 
into the bearing.

Howard,
Glad I was able to at least try to assist. It sounds like your 1050
is slightly different than my 1045.
Glad to hear that you were successful. My last job was to remove the
barbless wire the wife found with ours when she got a little too
close to a fence. :o)
