Husqvarna riding mower🤷 yth2348 won't move,

[@sanczel]

I didn't know John Malkovich fixed lawnmowers!

[@wyelandlebeouf7202]

Another very common thing ( this also happend on my customers unit today) sometimes the tires go flat and people remove the tires and rims to get good tires put on NOT REALIZING THERE IS A METAL SHAFT KEY that keeps rear wheels connected to the spindle of the transmission and when the tires get removed they fall out 90peecdnt of the time people don't even notice it. Then they put the tires back on and boom it doesn't move and there like what the hell lol

[@RayNellum]

That’s exactly what happened to mine. Replace and running. Thank you!!!

[@timbob987]

Your brilliant. Two hours of working on it, 10 videos and I read your comment just now and realize I had just changed the tire for first day of spring today and she wouldn't move. Looked down there while pressing forward and axle was spinning. Wow! Where can I donate money? I'm ready to smoke a cigar in celebration, feels like I just saved a ton of money.

[@DaleBaham-qm3ok]

I took a rear tire off of mine and now it won't move,can u explain to me what to do please?

[@DaleBaham-qm3ok]

What metal shaft key?

[@Joebato]

@@DaleBaham-qm3ok I believe they may be referring to the one in this video (timestamped): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWfcd6Kll6iknJo . It also shows later on how to reinsert it.

[@sarahs7489]

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? Im having the same issue with mine.

[@andrewm5190]

I have a YTH18542 lawnmower wont go in reverse or forward. Belt is in place from what I have seen, when it starts rolling down the hill the brakes don't work, and it will move sometimes with the blade engaged. It has me stumped, possible my transmission is going out?

[@wyelandlebeouf7202]

So I will be returning there tomorrow and trying to change the fluid but luckily in your case its most likely that drive belt but you can't judge the drive belt being loose if the exbrake is engaged. You have to disengage the brake to allow tension to the belt brother so check that out. If the e-brake is disengaged and it's still sloppy on the tranny you've found the issue. If not it may not be routed properly.

[@keepondreaming3870]

I didn't have a belt issue, I'm sure. My issue was fluid or basically the transmission/ rear. I believe it needs flushed or fluids changed. But transmission is seperatd from mower/ rear.

[@wyelandlebeouf7202]

@@keepondreaming3870 did you ever find the drain and fill for the hydrostatic there hard to find but they are there 8mm on the bottom left corner. Fill has a rubber plug that normally faces upwards towards the tank

[@keepondreaming3870]

The drain is a rubber plug on top, it's off mower, havnt messed with it next. Should I replace fluid, dump and put new in. Do you have to drill or is there a nut?

[@wyelandlebeouf7202]

There is an 8mm on the bottom corner depending which way your look at the transmission from the rear it should be bottom in the rear on the right hand or from the front bottom left hand on the front. I always pull that and it drains the transmission then I use the plug on the top for fill and when I put the stop back in if I damaged it during removal (sometimes there stuck and hard to remove sometimes it's super easy) but if damaged use some oil resistant gasket maker and stick it back in place after refill

[@wyelandlebeouf7202]

If all else fails then you'll have to use that rubber stop as a drain by turning the rear end upside down. Then put it right side up and refill. When the fluids going bad it doesn't allow the small pistons within the transmission to pressurize causing a no movement condition

[@chasehoffman3521]

Release the parking break the belt will tighten

[@geetarbenny_]

make sure that pin in the back of it is pushed in, if it isn’t pushed in it will only stay in neutral

[@keepondreaming3870]

It was the pin in back wasn't right. Engagement

[@szumow]

I have the exact same thing going on... Any luck fixing this? I know the transmission belt that is loose gets more tense as you depress that pedal. I believe it should be pretty loose. Either way, mine stopped in the middle of cutting the yard.

[@keepondreaming3870]

Transmission needs fluid or is leaking 😷

[@szumow]

@@keepondreaming3870 I'll check that out. Thanks! You got a score if you just added fluid to that thing!

[@choppergirl]

Husquvarna what is your problem.

[@davetaylor2449]

Sorry mom, you’re not getting this lawn mower.

[@keepondreaming3870]

Mower was fixed, was the bar you pulled in the back and it ended up working after repair!

[@tonymontana897]

Is the hydro serviceable ?? I have just purchased a YTH2548XP and was wondering about it.

[@keepondreaming3870]

You can change, fluids and somtimes that's the issue, from my research

[@tonymontana897]

@@keepondreaming3870 There isn't much info on my particular model on youtube. or anywhere else. I wish someone would make a video on the Hydro servicing. That would be really helpful. Thanks for responding.

[@wyelandlebeouf7202]

It is serviceabke unit but it's best left to a professional I'm doing this very same unit for a customer and it's very labor intensive you have to remove the entire rear body panel to remove the tank. The crappy part is you have to remove the front shround and pick it up to get the frame from under( on top of removing steering wheel all the cables connected to motor you also have to remove all the cables for the brake lock and etc and remove the brake licking mechanism for clearance reasons, once you've managed to get it removed there is a drain bolt on the right side of the hydrostatics it 8mm but the reason for all this dissammelbly is because the fill for the hydrostatic is facing upwards right under the gas tank. I'm sure you could make some type of pump contraption to avoid doing all this but you still end up having to at least relieve the rear enough for gas tank removal. I've been doing this kind of work since I was 16 I'm 24 now it's a big pain when the hydrostatic goes out because it never supposed too! Love the old gear selector tranny's most of the time those don't go in gear it's a gear selector issue but not in these hydrostatics NO GEAR SELECTOR

[@Physicalachievement]

mine will not move forward or in reverse either.

[@keepondreaming3870]

I recently fix mine, the push in piece on back, to make it roll (neutral). Wasn't engaging, to be able to go into drive and reverse. Does that make Sense.

[@donaldshimkus539]

If you can fix it, give it to someone you really don't like. Then buy your girlfriend a real mower. Like a Hustler or Bad Boy or Big Dog zero turn.

[@keepondreaming3870]

It's fixed, the neutral leaver / drive leaver was broken, out back. I replaced transmission for $20 at scrap metal yard. It works flawlessly now
