YTH22C46 Won’t Drive forward or reverse

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.

I’ll check that as well. Thanks

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.

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.

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