I have a craftsman lt 1000 riding lawn mower and it runs, but it won't go into gear it goes into gear, but clutch won' engage the gear.

Your belt may be on wrong or slipping.

Is it a hydro? check the release lever some times i forget too. If its gears then try different gear and check that the belt is engaging fully if the clutch spring broke your pedal shouldn't push back up.

check the linkage there is a adjustment

Hello
Check on the mower that your drive belt has not come off or has not broken
Thanks

i have a craftsman lt 1000 that won't move when the shifter says drive

there is a safety switch that is hooked too the clutch pedal.change that and you should be all set.

there is no clutch,, you have an arm with a pulley that is spring loaded .. when u release the " clutch" this arm pulls a pulley against the belt taking up the slack ,, make sure the belt is not worn ,, or the spring is broken or loose

lt 1000 craftsman lawm tractor hard to put into gear running or not

yes it is a bad belt unless it is a hydro-stat(no clutch) you need to look under the mower and see if the belt is on correctly
