Are you saying that valve adjustment likely won't help me in this instance? And I should just wait until my shoulder feels better???? Thanks.

A couple of years ago I was given a Sears 917370431 self-propelled lawn mower from my neighbor. This started up fine and performed well, even though I'm not a great fan of its self-propelled feature, but that does work. Anyway, I recently hurt my right shoulder and have discovered I have pain...

Yes, there's a square key that you need. Because of the differential, a free spinning wheel will prevent movement of the other wheel. I have LT1000 myself.

No, I didn't know it was a 2017 model, it was given to me by a neighbor; but now I do ! Thanks.

Thank you StarTech for the answer and clarification. I had downloaded PDF document MTD Form No. 769-05383 (May 13, 2010); shows on pp. 40-41 part 34, as 946-04670 (pages 2 and 3 on the truncated file I've attached).

Use Loctite threadlocker.

Nothing wrong if you find the other half of the mower blade, carefully weld it the found end on, file off most of the weld, sharpen it, and balance it. Or simply buy a new blade !!!! I've never had that happen and I mow tumbleweeds, not a lawn.....

Since you have a vague question and didn't supply a model number, I'll give a vague answer: you have a fuel delivery issue. These do not have a fuel pump, feed by gravity; so look for a clog in fuel line or more likely a carburetor jet.
