I have a John Deere (model JS63) self propelled mower. Recently the cable to make it move forward frayed and broke. I soldered on a new end and the cable broke again. today I removed the plastic cover over the transmission and discovered the the lever to engage the drive has to be pushed very hard to one side to get the wheels to move. The lever has some free play followed by some resistance and then it stops moving. If I continue to push it the wheels will start spinning. I have a new cable on order, but now I wonder if there might be something wrong with the transmission that caused the cable to fray. Does any one have any words of wisdom? Working on a mower to this degree is new to me. Thanks for the help.
