While mowing, stopped and backed up. when put the tractor in gear it wouldn't move. tried reverse and it went. tried forward again, no go. put it in reverse and no go. could it bethe key on the axle?
Try the friction wheel, you guys over think things. Use a snapper wheel, then use your original friction band, you'll have to modify the snapper wheel a bit but it will fix your problem

Try rocking the mower forward and backward while you try to shift it.

If you haven't done so check drive belt to make sure it is fully engaging when you put it in gear. You can also check to make sure that your break is fully releasing.Grasp pedal with your hand and pull it back to make sure it is returning. Thank you.

Just like motor vehicles when transmission gets stuck on a particular place without moving forward or backward it is a sign of a jam in one of the transmission levers. This is usually caused by lack of transmission fluid in the gears.When the fluid or grease depending on what your unit uses gets low the levers begin to grind against one another and therefore bring about such problems as you are facing. Although there is an off chance that the problem could also be from the automatic selector in this case the damage might not be so much probably an electrical fault.
First get an expert to check the auto selector if it is in good shape. If it is then i am afraid the problem is from the transmission levers.
Hope this insight has been helpful?

Check the drive belts first. and make sure the hydro release lever is in the correct position. If it is not- you can push the lawn tractor and have the rear wheels turn. It sometimes doubles as a "Forward" "Neutral" "Reverse" lever on other brands of lawn tractor.
The belts should be in their guides and pulley grooves- check to make sure it does not have a hidden break by having the engine off, and pulling on the belt.
Lastly, check to make sure the hydro itself is not out of oil or low on oil. It uses low viscosity "HyGard" oil. Capacity if you drain the old oil out and refill is 4.6 quarts. Look for a leak if the level is low.
If it still does not move, make sure the levers are set so you are in forward motion positions, and push- if the rear wheels move there is a problem in the hydro unit.
