My 2008 LT1045 will not free wheel(engine stopped and have to change out carb). I need to push it back underneath my shed to get it out of the elements. When I pull out to release rod on the transmission it will not budge. Is there a secret that I need to know or is there other issues that I may not be aware of?

No sir....everything is free. Very confusing. I looked under the rear end and the spring attaching the rod is pulling back on the release mechanism, but still not able to push mower.

Jack the mower up and try to turn one of the rear wheels.
If it turns and the other one turns in the opposite direction your brake is locked on.
Should this be the case, remove the wheel and disassemble the brake, cleaning all the debris from around the disc.
