I have no clue what (or where) the serial number is - or where to find it. Model number is easy; it's on the engine cover
I've been to the link you listed; but obviously without the serial number I am sunk
OK a while back I noticed my brakes didn't work quite right.
then it got to they didn't work at all.
USED to be I could push in the little locking button and it would lock the emergency brake.

I just (yesterday) had the exact same issue.
I have a Troy Bilt Bronco from 2004-2005.
MY Issues was a new belt I put on. The store when I bought the mower didn't stock the OEM belts any more... but I was "assured" the belt I bought would work fine.
They did check and it was the exact same...

Anyway; those two bearing in that froze up - and it wouldn't go forward or backward.
So I replaced...
