Thank you! I bought a new belt, I was about to buy new pulleys, but I knew it had to be something else. I saw your little piece of wood and I was like no way that’d be my issue. I was already laying under the mower and instantly looked up and saw a piece of wood there! Nice work!

[@RealManSkills]

Wow! Thanks for watching!

[@jimo1643]

Thank You! Had the same problem this afternoon. The belt was around the transmission and all the pullies but was not turning. After taking the mower out and looked underneath, I saw the belt slipped out of the pully on the motor! Put it back and all is good!

[@RealManSkills]

Nice easy fix! Thanks for watchingg!

[@dancolby8352]

Thank you very much! I’m definitely not a mechanic, but your video and explanation allowed me to diagnose, recognize, and fix my drive belt issue!!!

Nice VJO, had the same problem lost cotter pin and I did not have a new one small enough to fit it either! it was fine for a while but then stopped moving fwd or rev....I don;t think I am going to have as EZ a fix as you did but you never know that was a great find!!!! So grass is over a foot tall, got a new deck belt for the backup LT1000 cut about a 100' and hit something and ripped the spindeleoff the deck......so now I have to fox the orange girl......

Thanks man, this just happen to me today while working

Hope you got it figured out! Thanks for watching!

[@toddduffett1378]

Having a sticking pedal problem. Have to engage the brake to go into reverse and /or go into forward. Accelerates to full speed with pedal fully depressed but won't return to neutral. Cleaned debris out of spring and lever mechanism area under plastic cover but still not right. Any ideas where to look next?

[@patricknesbit2334]

Thanks man! Gonna see if this works on someone's Husqvarna that had the same thing happen. Let's hope this is the solution. Hope you are doing awesome and that you have a most excellent day!😊

@@RealManSkills you are most welcome 😁!

[@scottbutler2343]

Mine literally had these same symptoms and stopped moving...I hope it's as easy a fix as you just had. Thank you

[@RealManSkills]

It could be a worn belt or worn idler pulley. Easy fixes. Thanks for watching.

[@scottbutler2343]

@@RealManSkills Noise came on suddenly, checked belt right then, not worn, then stopped moving before I could get it back to garage, belt popped off. Weird

[@RealManSkills]

I had that happen with my Craftsman DLT3000. It was one of the pulleys. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKfOhKaAmMyWbqcsi=fYAwLMVrP-76Wze9

[@ronwilliams266]

What about the forward and reverse peadel hard to push.

[@denniswalston1217]

Just put the park brake on and you can start it with out putting weight on the seat.

[@RealManSkills]

I needed to release the brake to inspect the where the sound was coming from. If I was sitting on the seat, I couldn't look under the tractor.

[@denniswalston1217]

@Real Man Skills Good point. Thanks for responding. Always nice to learn something new.

[@jeepinspence]

Nice! Mine is acting up today. It makes noise when the parking brake is released too so I need to dig into that ,but it's also not returning the speed pedal to center.... It's hard to any thing but the outboard end of the linkage shaft un der the pedal and there is nothing there that appears to be and issue. Ideas? Thoughts? THANKS!

[@RealManSkills]

Is there a spring missing? A spring that pulls the speed pedal back up?

[@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?

[@RealManSkills]

It's possible.

[@bowen704]

I have this same mower, it gets stuck in drive and when I can get it to reverse it goes very slow I’m thinking there’s a similar issue going on. How did you get the tractor on its rear? Empty gas and oil first right?

[@RealManSkills]

I use a chain hoist to raise up the front end of the tractor. I have never had an issue with the gas and oil.

[@Forged721]

Nice one bud ,,,,,that whole Brake rod ,clip replacement was interesting as well , she had 2 issues Wet a Beautiful low idle - the shop wound mine up and I don't like it ,,don't suppose you know how to turn down the idle do you ? Mines the FR651v Kawi , but I bet there All similar Carby function

[@RealManSkills]

Haven't worked with Kawasaki much, but most carb linkages have a screw to turn in or out accordingly. Another option is the governor spring attached to a metal tab that can be bent up or down accordingly.

[@jaxturner7288]

Your owners manual (available online) will show you. It’s the easiest and most obvious adjustment you will find on it using a Philips screwdriver. Do not adjust the governor linkage. (8mm bolts with locknuts).

[@rhettbailey3833]

I got one of these but it dont move no more unless i lift the rear end off the ground and tires will spin VERY slowly and idea or possible advice what to chase down next?

[@RealManSkills]

First of all, there is a square key between the rim and rear axle on both rear tires. Make sure those square keys are in place. If so, you might have a bad transaxle. Replaceable, but expensive.

Great find

I have the Craftsman T240 Turn Tight tractor..I looked at Husqvarna John deere the Craftsman T240 Turn Tight was the choice hands down better build than the other two simply a much better tractor all around..k46 transmission with steel gears metal hood Kohler 7000 series 22 horsepower 725cc V Twin engine 3 year unlimited hours warranty 5 year warranty on frame..dry weight 630 pounds the the list is long...I'll definitely get a few decades out of this one..

[@RealManSkills]

I haven't seen one of those yet. The Tuff Torque K46 transaxle is a common unit that is on many tractors. Glad you didn't get one of those plastic transaxles that some Craftsman tractors have. Thanks for sharing that info and thanks for watching!

[@kenseymour5152]

I got the same mower can it be that simple

[@RealManSkills]

Hopefully!

Nice Dude. Envious that you id'd it so fast.

[@offinthebarn6194]

I have this same mower and it will engage the pto and everything fine but when I press the go pedal it doesn’t go

I hope it's not a bad transaxle.

Let us know what you find.

[@Keurig554]

What was wrong with it

[@Robert-hv7og]

The topic was about your Husqvarna stopped moving you showed us how to stop the noise but you didn't tell us what the cause of why it stopped moving was way to go

[@RealManSkills]

The mower stopped moving because the belt popped off the pulley and the belt popped off the pulley because of a piece of wood.
