My MTD 12.5 hp briggs and stratton ride on mower is losing forward speed as though a clutch is slipping especially going up hills or slopes. MIKE

reset the valves to specifications by gaping them all to .008 thousands The vibration will continuely make the gap wider causing this problem to get worst. Gap the valves is recommeded every other year

Hard to shifet my poulan pro and wont go into reverse

Try loosening the belt tension to the transmission a little bit. Some of these are just stiff and you have to slip the clutch a little to rock them into gear.

You didn't indicate what model so I don't know if it is hydrostatic drive or not. If it is not hydrostatic drive, it is most likely a worn belt or clutch adjustment. If you don't have your manual you can download one here:http://www.mtdlawnmowerparts.com/manuals.php
If it is hydrostatic drive it stil could be the drive belt or low water in hydrostatic transmission, or even water in the oil in the hydrostatic transmission. Always list model number when asking questions.

Tractor seems locked in gear wont go forward or reverse and wont start

Where can I get a snapper 15 hp briggs & stratton parts list?

Have a poulan 17.5 hp briggs & stratton riding mower, runs pretty good wide open and mowing, but when you cut the blades off and idle down, it chokes off and has to cool down to start again.

Is there any adjustment on the transaxle. It will not pull forward or reverse.

After taking the rear tire off the mower, it will not go forward or backward. It starts fine and the cutter works great. I tried rolling it back and forth but no luck.
