The rear wheels on my brother's old Craftsman lawn tractor won't turn. Can't tell you the model number because the tag is worn out. Maybe the attached pictures will help you.
I can't push the tractor even with the rear control pulled back. Thinking it was brakes locked on I jacked up the rear to have a look. But when the rear end was raised, the wheels turned freely (albeit in different directions due to the differnential I guess).
A peek underneath seemed to show the belts routed properly although there grass clippings packed everywhere.
I'm struggling to get the rear wheels off their axles so I can check the brakes.
Is anyone familiar with this problem and can offer some pointers on what I can do?
