Mower ran fine, put it in the garage Started this weekend and the back wheels are locked up.

Remove rear baffle to gain access to the transmission. Likely the area has become impacted with debris preventing the transmission from releasing drive belt tension.

See instructions for drive belt removal, pg 18 of the owners manual. Free download of the manual at Husqvarna, see following URL.

WHAT MAKE AND MODEL MOWER? YES...YOU EASILY COULD HAVE BROKEN THE AXLE!
SEE IF EACH WHEEL WILL SPIN INDEPENDENTLY OF ONE ANOTHER IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. ALSO, SOME MOWERS HAVE A ENGAGE/DISENGAGE TRANS LEVER (USUALLY PULLS IN AND OUT AND LOCKS WITH A CLEVIS PIN RETAINER)

This is not a Motherboard question. Try in the correct section.

1 Locate the height adjustment lever on the inside of the left rear wheel.
2 Kneel next to the mower and push the left height adjustment lever toward the center of the mower. This will unlock the lever from the locking pin on which the height is currently set.

3Rotate the lever toward the front of the mower to lower the height of cut, or toward the rear of the mower to raise the height of cut.

4 Release the lever over the locking pin closest to the desired height of cut.

5 Repeat these steps with the adjustment lever on the right-side rear wheel. Be sure to set the right wheel lever to the same position as the left-side wheel's lever for an even cut.

If this is a manual engagment system all the lever does is to pull a jockey wheel into the back of the belt to tention it thus starting the blades to turn, so either the cable is jammed that pulls the jockey wheel in, or the jockey wheel arm is seized and needs freeing off to allow the jockey to to move to the relaxed position.

It sounds like the tractor is hydro, if so you need to find the release lever to allow it to move in neutral.
Most hydros have the lever under the seat or at the back of the tractor just behind the back wheels.
if and when you find it, it will need to be slid across and locked in to the operset position or pulled out, depending on what type it is.


Hope this helps

For the wire to come all the way out lever on top of the trans must be broken. I've seen a few. Jack rear of mower up, remove rear right wheel and find remnants of lever. With pliers turn this all the way forward, mower will now go. But to fit new lever trans will have to be removed. Dont forget the axle key.

sounds like the bypass lever might not be re-engaging, push it in firmly. OR, the brake is sticking. this, of course, is if the noise is a growl or a groan. if it IS a grinding noise, look for something stuck in the trans cooling fan or between the axles and wheels, otherwise it's inside the trans and that's not good [re: replacement]

Hi
a;; you need tp do is loosen the cable slightly to the self drive mechanism

Hi
Check to see if any oil leaks between rear wheels where the tractor was parked. Also make sure hydrostatic disengage lever, at rear of tractor by hitch, has to be pushed in.
