Riding mower won't go forward or backwards found the cause 

This is a very sturdy and well built mower. I thought I wouldn't like the foot operated speed control but after one use ru-vid.comUgkxTZSPVwJFBv2hORqhQamtxi-tAe5K2EtC , I can't believe I ever had one without it. It drives like a car with an automatic transmission. Easy to adjust mowing speed according to grass depth/thickness. I have yet to get used to the long throw of the blade engagement lever but kind of get why it is that way. It allows you to hold mowing for short moments if you need. The engine seems very substantial and the frame has very little flex, both adding up to an impressive package. All my previous tractors were 18 to21 hp with 42in decks. This one is 23/46. I mow about 1.5 acres about every 5 days here in Alaska and that mowing time has been reduced by about 20%, partly due to the very tight turning radius. No loop arounds lol. Hour meter, cruise control, reverse mowing capability,deck cleanout and easy assembly all add up to a very well thought out tractor.

Kudos my man ! Solved the problem with my same lawn tractor, from the description of the problems to the actual failure of the problem part. Saved me from having to get a trans that would have been pointless. Keep up the good work!

Thank you the bolt holding the drive belts to the bearing just fell off on mine. Was trying to figure out what I’m looking for before I jack it up and try to fix it.

Thank you

I have a YTH18542 lawnmower wont go in reverse or forward. Belt is in place from what I have seen, when it starts rolling down the hill the brakes don't work, and it will move sometimes with the blade engaged. It has me stumped, possible my transmission is going out?

Will that cause it to smoke when you crank it up

Thank you. Very helpful.

The birds are the best part.

anyone who owns one of these troybuilt ponys had better invest in a good set of metric tools and a feeler guage for the vale adjustmentsss youll have to do a little later on. i ought to know ive owned several of them and every one had the same exact problems and the build design is terrible.. you cant get a socket on the top transmission pulley because of a frame brace in the way .. its a nightmare.. while they run you cant beat these old mowers but when they tear up.. put on your big boy britches cause its gonna get rough lol
