Disengages the transmission in order to move the mower by hand. Mine is very loose. It doesn't seem to pop in to place or out. Could this be causing the issue? Runs very well when running in reverse even when pressing the pedal forward. Great mower, just need a little help please.
It's possible that the loose release switch could be causing the issue with the mower only running in reverse. When the release switch is not properly engaged or disengaged, it can cause the mower to think it is in neutral, which may prevent it from moving forward. You may want to try tightening or adjusting the switch to see if it helps.
However, there could also be other issues with the transmission or drive system that are causing the problem, so it's important to thoroughly check all components and consult the manual or a professional if necessary.

your linkage came apart from the way it sounds. most all these riding lawn mowers are simple machines. you need to fallow the(flopppy lever) and see where it go's it is supposed to attach to a rod or cable and must have came unhooked

There is another safety switch connected to the parking/service brake. Check that one too. Sounds like its the one.

Does it have gears or a hydrostatic (automatic) transmission?
If it's a gear model, sounds like a loose drive belt.
If it's hydrostatic, it could be a belt problem or a problem inside the transmission. If it's a tranmission problem, this is not good. Many of the transmissions on riding lawn mowers are not serviceable - they are just replaced.

Check the drive belt. If it looks good and turns the pulley on the trans you will need to have the trans looked at.
