Yth2246 Husqvarna tractor 2 months old and blowing some black smoke when running at high idle. Additionally, there seems to be some sort of reoccurring noise coming from under from end of the tractor when moving. It sounds like it could be a belt slipping. not sure, any ideas??????

You mean Briggs and Stratton. Sounds potentially expensive. Call a local small engine repair shop. They'll tell you how much it will cost. A new engine might be $1k. Repairs a few hundred.

sorry. I don't have an ansewer for you however I might have some helpful hints. Your mower should be going dam near 5 MPH. But yes can't cut in reverse. you have a belt going from the trans axle to the motor. It could be slapping against the frame. The idler puller or the tension pulley could be wobaly where the bearings are gone out. If you remove the 4 bolts on the back of the mower under the seat and gas tank it should visable tell you the story. My question is mine hits gears real hard as if trans mission needs oil or internal damage.

SOURCE: HYDRASTATIC TRANSMISSION DOESN'T MOVE

Far as I know the warranties are not transferable. Some hydrastatic transmission fluid can be checked by removing the battery and underneath there is a place to put the fluid and to check it. But not all models or makes gives you this option.

I had the same problem with my YTH1848XPT . Believe it or not it is simply a dirty air filter....you must remove the filter and blow it out with an air compressor...or better yet replace it. you can not clean it well enough without the force of the air compressor. Mine works great now.
