And the deck is off again and still doesn’t work

Unfortunately not. I just put it gear it moved back and forth a very small amount. Then put mower deck on and doesn’t work again.

It’s all cleaned up and I’m Manually moving the in/out gear by hand. Weird thing is when I put the new belt on and tested it worked. When I put the mower on it failed again. Taking last ditch attempt thinking maybe the belt is wrong and that’s the problem. Or your mentioned valve issue inside...

I purchased an OEM a belt to rule out the belt being the issue. Seems like even engage the belt is fairly loose. I checked the idler wheels and they seem fine and the tension on them seems fine too. If that doesn’t work I’m afraid it may be internal because when the transaxle is engaged I can...

Thanks for the reply. I cannot get to the shaft because the casting extends up too high into the fan to enclose it. (See pic. What I can tell you is I tried to loosen the nut on the top of the pulley by holding the pulley and I couldn’t get it loose and that did not spin. Also since the shaft...

Will do but I’m a little confused when you say “get a good strong torch on the input shaft”. I assume you want me to try and turn the fan/pulley and try to prevent shaft from turning?

To Me It seems like the power is going into the transaxle not coming out. If you watch this video the fan and pulley are turning. There’s a shaft on the right side of the transaxle the moves forward and backward depending on shift position. Wheels have nothing to them.

1) just bought it or owned from new ( or 2nd had a long time ago) owned 10 years 2nd owner. Trouble free 2) how may hours ? 250 3) where did you get the belt from & what was the brand / part number ( if you still have the sleeve )Amazon 4) did you remove either of the rear wheels when you...

I’m thinking you are correct. I did take the belt number off the hood and bought that belt albeit an Amazon non name brand but it fits very well. The tell tale for me is when the mower is not in neutral mode in the transaxle I can still roll it. Before this issue I had to diengage the transaxle...

The fan continues to turn when the wheels are not. The belt is tight. The squealing seems to be coming from the hydrostatic drive. See this video it show fan turning the shaft coming out of the side of the case but can easily stop slight wheel turning with your hand.

I’m not totally sure what you mean. There’s a video above that show the wheels off the ground and turning, but I can touch with my foot and it goes backwards. When it’s on the ground it doesn’t move.
