Started up the mower the other day and it won’t drive forward, it only drives in reverse. It’s a Troybilt model 13wm77ks011 and is from 2018 I believe. Any assistance is appreciated.

Did this happen overnight or did it come on slowly ?
Have you checked the drive belt ?
You have a rear that is prone to have forward gear problems.
Here's a picture of it.

It happened overnight. All belts look and feel good. I’m able to shift to reverse or neutral and it drives fine in reverse. Shifter won’t slide into any forward gears.

Look at where the forward/reverse lever (3) hooks to the rod (29) underneath.
That rod goes to the transaxle
Make sure it's pulling and pushing the link on the trans the same distance.
Look for anything that looks to be an adjustment for that rod also.
The parts breakdown of your machine doesn't show it.

I will check that out. Is this rear end prone to just issues in general or are there particular ones it’s known for?
