Hi
I have a problem
my transmission belt from the motor to the trans mission broke
from my craftsman riding mower model model number is 917271061
when I start the mower it runs poorly and when I put it in gear it stalls

thank you

Why did it break? Is something locked up, or was it old and badly cracked?
Transmission belts don't normally "break"...

Double check the belt routing. There are a couple things under there that keep the belt from falling off the pulleys when the clutch/brake is pushed in and it's easy to get the belt on the wrong side of one of those. Don't ask how I know, duhhh.

you have one question from Rivets in your other thread

LOL. Great minds think alike?

Hi
I would like to thank you all for your help
I found a wire that came of a switch
inside the mower around the gas tank
put it back and the mower runs great again

thank you
