The drive shaft could of snapped. Mine did the same thing and the repair shop reckon they tried to get a new shaft but couldnt. Two different size shafts and if they get one from America and its wrong they cant return it. About $2000 for a new Transmission. Have been unable to find a second hand one.

John Deere D110 mower. It quits moving forward after 5 feet. The pedals feel lose, replaced blade, belt and trans belt and axle keys, but no luck.

Quester edited for clarity and spelling 'deer' to 'Deere'.
Question moved to John Deere D110.

Try the 5 minute fix, but your sounds like the hydrostatic transmission.

Hi, remove the battery and battery support tray and clean all debris from around the hydrostatic drive, fan and cooling fins. Your problem is caused by the hydrostatic drive overheating. Hope this helps, regards Phil
