Remove rear baffle to gain access to the transmission. Likely the area has become impacted with debris preventing the transmission from releasing drive belt tension.
See instructions for drive belt removal, pg 18 of the owners manual. Free download of the manual at Husqvarna, see following URL.
Start by removing the belt keeper around the back of the engine pulley, unhook the deck drive belt and pull out of the way, now remove the spring on the idler pulley against the drive belt, there should be enough slack now to hook the belt over the fan one blade at a time until free, now push it forward and feed off the engine pulley and feed down and out, it is a fairly tight fit, refit the new belt in reverse.
The drive belt is the topmost belt, next to the frame of the tractor. So jack up the front end, lower the deck and take a look at the engine shaft if there is a loose/broken belt laying up there. If so then you are right. You will have to remove the deck to replace the belt. There is a spring loaded tensioner, released by the brake pedal, so you will need a confederate to hold the pedal down for the last step of install. Begin by putting the belt around the big pulley on top of the transmission first, then the engine pulley. If the belt is in place then you most likely have a fried transmission and they are so expensive prepare to get another mower.
You can try putting a little more tension on the drive belt. It is probably stretched out a bit and the drive engagement cant cancel all the slack out. So, the belt slips.
Pull out your owners manual and look up instructions for tightening the drive belt. If you dont have a manual go to the Husqvarna website and get a PDF copy.
all great suggestions however the problem remains, rear wheels still lock up if I pull back on the mower.
Thank you
