On the older one’s: the transmission belt is guided through 2 pulley’s in the middle to the front. One is plastic. This one got hot, got ripped and rips the belt slowly. Took pulley off, sanded it temporary until replacing belt and pulley.

Wow that sounds like if the trans fluid is low and if you don't feel it because if you don't know to fill it you could actually mess up your mower and I need to have a repair on the transmission is that what you're saying I have an older zero turn mower it's a Cub cadet I noticed while mowing in front of the house there's a tree that's lying out there where the wind blew it down since I drove through there and that debris that's when I started having the problem

Also, make sure the pin is in the slot in the axle when putting the rear tire back in or it will not move.

This is a good point too. I think this could spark a new video of things that are essential after doing repair work. What do you think?

My pedals give resistance and the more I push the louder the thing is making noise. I already replaced the belt. The fan is spinning on the transmission but it won't go forward or back

I am having the same exact problem you are and I hope you get this and you’re able to respond and let me know how you solve your problem. I had somebody helping me and they had me push down the clutch over and over while they were doing something underneath, but a little bit behind the clutch and it was slowly starting to engage, but it was about to downpour and he was on a motorcycle so he left and, I’m back to square one

What about a fourth reason why it won't go...could it be the axel shaft key?
@WesternEquipment3 ай бұрын
I mean it could be but that would mean they would have to be broken on both sides and I just don't think that is likely.

My problem was a spring had shifted up out of the slot and was making the belt slack and wasn't engaging when I went forward or reverse, after sliding it into place the belt tightened up and the tractor worked again.

Transax transplant I have a 30 y.o. Murray 11/36ic that was increasingly difficult to change gear. I acquired another transaxle 10 years ago, and seeing it has 10 years less use than my one so it must be in good or better condition...right? Put it on, and now the mower won't move forward or back. I see the drive belt is turning the rear pulley on the transax. Any ideas anyone...
@johns51274 ай бұрын
3 of the 4 motor mount bolts on mine were either sheered off or had come loose so there was too much slack on that drive belt and wouldn’t move. Not sure how common that is but I thought might help someone

Had a flat on the right rear of my JD S130. I didn't notice the key on the axle. If you place the wheel on the axle without the key, it will behave just like this.

Good information, but Steve’s Small Engine had a fourth easy fix. If you’ve recently pulled a drive wheel you may have forgotten to replace the axle key. (3/16” square stock). The axles rotate independently. So that one is spinning, steeling all the power and the other one isn’t moving. $3 part. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great videos.

I know that on cub cadets people complain alot about them gettin slow in reverse. I've found that grass and debris get built up on the inside of the frame where all the linkage pivots for the pedals and it prevents their movement.

@dqdanielfab Hi, I found out yesterday the travel belt guides on the front of the mower were bent so they adjusted them,causing the belt to break, seems someone didn't do their job at the factory, it's running good now. It was a $260 job but under warranty. Seems like a good tractor, I have over an acre to cut,change the oil,filter after 4 hours to get the metal shavings out of the new engine. Say you like your S100,any troubles with it yet.

@dqdanielfab very welcome, my friend helped me carry it to the JD dealership last week, they wanted $90 to come pick it up and bring it back because I didn't take out the extended warranty im just 20 minutes from them, I do have the 2 year, or 120 hour warranty. Maybe your JD wouldn't mower because of the pull out transmission rod in the back. Even though I had this trouble with the belt, overall I think it's going to be a good lawn mower. Yea changing the oil early in a new engine is overlook, the metal shavings from the factory, it's good to get them out. That cover lid, next to cup holder didn't come with the S100, it's only $8, i told the guy at Lowes about it, he when over and took one off a S130 and put it on mine, that was nice of him doing that. Guy at JD ask me did i run over some sticks, he told me a stick could break that hydrostatic belt but that wasn't the case. I found the front bumper at Lowes for $90 I didn't want to bust the plastic hood, I have alot of trees lol Glad you're not having any issues. Take care.

What is the best scraper to use on your mower deck a plastic scraper or a metal scraper? Will a plastic scraper. Make your mower deck last longer.
@WesternEquipment Жыл бұрын
I would advise using plastic if possible just to avoid any unnecessary damage to the bottom of your deck. But sometimes the gunk is too thick or hard so you may have to go with metal.
