check that the towing disengagement lever(s) haven't popped out... I doubt this is the problem but worth checking first.

if you lack the funds, at age 80 you need someone who can assist you with things you cannot do yourself. If the kids can't or won't help dad, or there are none, time to start attending the house of worship of your faith and get to know some of the folks who like to help. You can always volunteer babysitting in the nursery, or teaching sunday school to help reciprocate for the help.

A easy way to remember o's and 0's :I've got my seat covered with a Black garbage bag because our property is so dusty. Keeping the seat clean enough to sit on.So that's why I didn't notice the serial number under there.
Any way.................the SER # is 17AFCACP056. Don't know if that is a 0 or an O.
Cheerios are round and 0's are ellipse .
Continuation: Mower is up and I find the belt is intact but off the right side pully. Getting ready to drop the transmission and have pulled the motor shroud off but can't figure out how to get the plastic cover off the flywheel ????? I need to get a wrench on the top nut to unscrew the nut below the transmission. Someone mentioned there's an online shop manual. I've looked for it but can't seem to find it.
Well, it's a done deal. Finished and just mowed my yard. Don't own an impact wrench, but I was able to get the nut off the bottom of the transmission using a "cheater" on my 8" ratchet wrench. Wasn't a difficult job at all.............just didn't really know what I was doing and really hate "flying blind" like that. Oh well, it's done and all is well.
Oops! Celebrated too quickly, I think. I just mowed for an hour and just as I was finishing up, the belt came off again. That's puzzling !!! Didn't hit a large stick, tree stump or anything like that. It was on very smooth ground when it happened. Any thoughts from the gallery ??? Guess I'll crib it up again and start all over.
