YTH22C46 Won’t Drive forward or reverse

Was driving fine and depressed brake. Then took foot off brake pedal and mower does not move forward or reverse.

Belt is not broke and seems to be in correct position. Freewheeling lever is in proper place.

Where else should I look or check? Thanks

Was driving fine until brake was depressed, and then after release doesn't work. I am thinking the belt came off some place. So may need to take a closer look.

Those have K46 hydrostatic transmissions, the unit is about 10 years old, wonder if there is sign of oil leak?

Drop the deck down to the lowest setting, get on your hands and knees and look at the drive belt. Is it on all the pulleys? Is the belt in good condition and have good belt tension?

I just did an engine swap on my husq. It did have an electric PTO. But now it has no deck or any kind of PTO. It's simply for pulling the trailer. But when I press the clutch/brake too far, the belt comes off at the engine pully.
That might be where yours is off also. And it would hard to see, even if you were looking right at it, because of the belt guides, it's not going to be dangling down, way out of place.

Yes, belt seems to be the consensus. Will do. Thanks

I tend to think your brake is stuck, likely due to rust. Disassemble the brake, wire brush it, use Never-Sieze on the sliders and adjust as necessary.

Have a toro that did that and the belt came off hydro when brake was depressed. adjust the linkage so brake came on sooner and pedal did not have to be pressed all the way.Works good now.

I also think brake is locked. Does the unit easily free wheel when pushed?

Does the mower easily free wheel? If not, check for a locked brake.

This is exactly what happened. Couldn’t see it at first like you said. Finally did. Quick fix. Thank you.
