Would you know, why my walk behind Cub Cadett, 22 inch mower will not roll backwards? I also have almost identical mower made by White, which have the same problem, dragging wheels when pulling backwards. Can you make a video on this? Many thanks. The front wheels are turning easily. The rear wheels, which are energized when engaged, are turning easily when pushed forward, but dragging when the mower is pulled back, without engaging the motion belt.

My Cub Caddet walk behind mower will not roll backward. It rolls forward fine. Any idea why? Appreciate your help.

Front wheels, rear wheels or all wheels? You have to be specific to get any valid diagnosis or help. Front wheel self-propelled? That’s what I just finished fixing. The front axles were rusted so badly that the plastic bearings on them were frozen solid so mower would only roll forward and only backward on the rear wheels. Got the front end off the machine, managed to get the plastic bearings off, cleaned and greased everything. Reassembled and it rolls fine again.

Rear wheels that are energized by the belt when squizzing the self propelled handle. The front wheels are free wheeling, and they are ok. The mower can be pushed forward, but will dragg wheels when pulled backwards. ​@@Rein_Ciarfella

I dont know what the heck is wrong with mine. I can turn the key and it spins like it wants to fly away...lol Spins really fast with top speed momentum that almost shakes the frame. But it just does not seem to have the put put resistance going on. I can turn it with my hand, and there seems to be resistance like compression I guess. Dang thing is killing me.

Clean the carburetor and use the blue enzyme treatment before you put it away for the winter.

Low oil sensor - my pressure washer cuts off when I tilt it back too far when moving it.
