The tractor was stored in a small shed with little work room. And I cant get the tractor out of the shed, the lever that is supposed to put it in push mode does not seem to be doing anything. It will not start, not a real problem. The problem is that I cant get the tractor out of the shed. The bar in the back of the unit which is supposed to allow it to be pushed does not seem to be doing anything. In all positions it is still engaged and I cant push the tractor to get it out of the shed. The lever is attaced to a small lever that comes out under the fan. It moves about 60 degrees and does not seem to be connected to anything. It moves very freely and does not allow the weeels to turn. Also the left rear tire is flat but when I lift the tractor off the ground the wheel still does not turn. How do I get this tractor out of the shed?

Try holding the bypass lever to the right and rocking machine back and forth.
If all else fails, jack up he mower, remove the rear wheels , Take the rectangular shaped key out on both sides.. Put the wheels back on and you can wheel it out as the wheels will no longer be engaged to the axle.

The pushing and the starting should be two independent issues.
First, you probably have a hydrostatic drive mower. If so, you should look on the back of the frame. There will be a little rod or some such thing sticking out of the back. There may even be a little sticker indicating what to do. Basically, pull that rod and hook it on the back panel of the frame. This disengages the hydrostatic transmission allowing you to push it. Remember to reposition it to drive the mower when you get it running. Also verify brake is not engaged if still difficult to push.
Then, it is time to investigate the starting problem. Check to make sure blades are not engaged, this will prevent starting (I know it seems silly, but people make this mistake). When you turn the switch to start does the engine turn over? If not, do you hear a click? That click would be the starting solinoid. If you do not here it, do you have voltage at the battery? The battery can be checked with an electrical multimeter. You can also try to charge the battery if you have a charger or try to jump start it. If you still do not get any response from the engine and the starting solinoid does not click (and safety switches are correctly positioned) then the starting solinoid or its fuse (if installed) are bad. If engine turns over but does not start, then it is time to look at fuel (good, new), air (filter not clogged), spark (check spark by removing plug and grounding to the head and when turning key to start check for good spark. Fuel has another part, delivery. Make sure there is good flow to carb., no obstructions and fuel filter passing sufficient fuel. If you get it to turn over and all the other checks are good then it is time to clean the carb. Which involves disassembly of the carb.

There are several things that can cause this problem. I will try to give you some ideas and then we can discuss each of them as you wish.
1. The brake someimes sticks on with this model. On the right hand side of the transmission (As you are standing behind the tractor) there is a small brake lever that is connected to the transmission and has the brake rod going from it to the brake pedal. Take this small lever that is on the transmission and pull it backwards toward you. If it is stuck, then it should release and the tractor should move. Most of the time you will have to spray some WD-40 on the brakes behind this lever and move the lever back and forth many times so it will not stick again. One of the reasons this happens is because the battery is usually located above this break and it corrodes. Another cause is that people tend to either wash the unit with water...which you should NEVER DO..... and it rusts solid and sticks.
2. The drive belt may have broken or has worn too much to operate the transmission. Replace the belt even if it looks fairly good if this is over 3 years old.
3. There is a transmission push/pull valve located in the back of the tractor. This is used so you will be able to push the tractor. If this is still in the PUSH position, then the tractor will not drive. Check this and move the lever back and forth several times to make sure that it is not stuck. Sometimes the lever on the transmission will stick and you will have to reach under the transmission and move the small lever itself to unstick it.
4. there is a keyway that is built into the main DOUBLE SHEEVE PULLEY that is located on the engine crankshaft. Many times the built-in key in this pulley will shear and cause the crankshaft to turn inside the pulley without turning the pulley and thus the transmission does not turn under load. If this is the case, you will have to replace this pulley.
5. If someone has taken off one of the wheels to thave a tire fixed, or fro any other reason, many times the key that holds the wheel to the axle slips out of place and the axle rotates inside the wheel without turning the wheel. this will cause the tractor not to move. Check the keys in both back wheels to make sure that they are in places and not sheared.
6. The transaxle itself may have gone bad and may need to be replaced. If this is the case and you have tried all of the other suggestions, I recommend that you take the entire unit to a GOOD Toro repair dealership and have them check it out. These units are sealed units and are not usually customer serviceable, but the dealer can check to make sure that it is not just low on oil. IF it is, then he can add the proper oil to it and it may work, if not, then the transmission will have to be replaced.
Ok, now that I have said all that, I think that TORO has a link on there website where you can download a service manual http://www.toro.com/
You MUST have the EXACT Model and serial number of the tractor. It is located under the seat of the tractor. If you input these numbers, you should be able to get a service manual for this unit.
I hope this helps you.
