Husqvarna neutral lever is not locking the tires.

My Husqvarna YTH2348 96040022 01 Will not start. The Neutral lever on the back does not seem to completely lock the wheels. I can still push the tractor although it is slightly harder to push than when I have the rear wheels unlocked. I can reach under the tractor and feel that the lever is pushed all the way forward.

Stating the obvious you should not be able to push the machine with the bypass lever in, so assuming the lever is going right in ( you may need to clear any grass away from the actuating lever on the gear box ) there has to be an issue with the hydo itself.

SOURCE: sears rototiller wheels locked up engine runs great

After taking the transmission/frame apart, the drive chain for the tires broke and wedged in the case. I cleaned the rest of the gear box and washed all of the gears and sprockets. Ordered up the chain, gasket and grease. I re-installed and greased all of the pieces and reassembled the case. I used a marine wheel bearing grease for the water resistant properties. I installed a zerk fitting right over the shifting lever. This should help keep the grease on the top end of all the gears. After a few hours it is good to go and works just like new.

SOURCE: my troy bilt won't go in neutral

The Junior tiller does not have a neutral selection. In order to free wheel the tiller you have to remove the pins that go thru the wheel rim hubs and then it will roll without starting it. Hopefully the rims are not rusted to the wheel shaft.

My Husqvarna YTH2148 B yard tractor with auto transaxle and 48: mower deck is stuck in gear. Will not free wheel when shifted into neutral. How do I release? Thanks.
This fender shifted unit may need to be adjusted via shifter linkage. The linkage may not be finding neutral when the lever is in neutral. Try to move the lever easily into forward or reverse to see if the transmission can find neutral. If you can, then the linkage will need to be adjusted to compensate.

Why won't my Husqvarna Riding Mower go into gear? After having a tractor tire repaired and replacing the wheel and tire onto my Husqvarna Riding Mower, it will not go forward or into reverse.
It is possible that the neutral lever (free wheeling lever) has been actuated by pulling the lever out during the repair. For normal operation the lever should be pushed in.


Hope this helps?

Husqvarna zero turn mower steering problems how to adjust neutral and balance steering
There is adjustments on both steering arms located under the seat. You can make the adjustments by lifting the unit's wheels off the ground and determine if the are "creeping" when the unit is running. Adjust the linkage until neither wheel creeps. Then the tracking can be adjusted by turning the screws located at the base of the steering levers.
Note, the levers do not return to neutral automatically.

Think you have simply frozen your piston from lack of proper fuel and 2 stroke oul mixture. Bike will move in neutral and with the clutch in, just won't kick or bumpstart ! Time for a top end rebuild my friend...good luck !

Maybe try to press the brake pedal and run the gear shift throughout the full range of gears while the car is on level ground, and retry the starter to see if there is a faulty PNP adjustment.

Try to start in Neutral not Park, and jiggle the gear shift back and forth to see if the PNP is not adjusted right.

Good luck on this repair.

How to replace neutral saftey switch on a 1980 cadillac deville?
Use like reference guide for GM Cadillac 1967-1989 Repair Guide Neutral Safety Switch - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

All Except 1985-89 Eldorado and Seville
See Figure 1
The neutral safety switch prevents the engine from being started in any transmission position except Neutral or Park. The switch is located on the upper side of the steering column under the instrument panel on column shift cars, and inside the shift console on floor shift models.
  1. Remove the console for access on floor shift models.
  2. Disconnect the electrical connectors.
  3. Remove the neutral switch.

To install:
  1. Place 1967-70 column shift lever models in Drive, and 1971 and later models in neutral. Locate the lever tang against the transmission selector plate on column shift models.
  2. Align the slot in the contact support with the hole in the switch. Insert a 3 / 32 in. (2.38mm) diameter pin in place. The switch is now aligned in Drive position.

1973 and later neutral safety switches have a shear-pin installed to aid in proper switch alignment so that insertion of a pin is unnecessary. Moving the shift lever from Neutral shears the pin.
  1. Place the contact support drive slot over the drive tang. Install the switch mounting screws.
  2. Remove the aligning pin. Connect the electrical wiring, and replace the console.
  3. Set the parking brake and hold your foot on the service brake pedal. Check to see that the engine will start only in Park or Neutral.

Fig. 1: Installation of a common neutral safety switch



ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 2
1974 and later cars do not have a neutral safety switch. Instead, these cars have an interlock between the lock and the transmission selector, which is non-adjustable.
  1. Place the shift lever in Neutral.
  2. Move the switch until you can insert a gauge pin, 3 / 32 in. (2.38mm) diameter, into the hole in the switch and through to the alignment hole.
  3. Loosen the switch securing screws. Remove the console first, if necessary.
  4. Tighten the screws and remove the pin.
  5. Step on the brake pedal and check to see that the engine will only start in Neutral or Park.
05843d3.jpg


Fig. 2: Adjustment of a common neutral safety switch
1985-89 Eldorado and Seville
See Figure 3

All neutral safety/back-up light switches come with a small plastic alignment pin installed. Leave this pin in place.
  1. Place the shifter assembly in the Neutral position.
  2. Remove the shifter lever-to-switch nut and the lever.
  3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the neutral safety/back-up light switch.
  4. Remove the neutral safety/back-up light switch-to-transaxle bolts and the switch from the vehicle.

To install:
  1. Position the shifter shaft in the Neutral position.

If using an old switch or the plastic pin (new switch) is broken, install a3/32in. (2.38mm) diameter pin gauge (drill bit) into the neutral safety/back-up light switch; the switch is then locked into its Neutral position.
  1. Align the flats of the shifter shaft and the neutral safety/back-up light, then, align the switch-to-tang on the transaxle. Torque the switch-to-transaxle bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm). Remove the pin gauge.
  2. To complete installation, reverse the removal procedures. Make sure that the engine starts only in the Park and Neutral positions.
