- I am going to show you how I checked to see whether the transmission
is bad or whether the brakes are locked up. This was a Craigslist find &
I have to decide to either repair it or part it out.

Thanks for the video. I came looking to see why mine wouldn't move. Found that the guy who replaced the tires didn't put the wheel key thing back in. Got the wheel keys from him and away it went. Thank you so much

When you get that engine running or hook your impact to that transmission nut do so while holding fine sandpaper around the axles to polish them, THEN, put ANTI-SEIZE on the axles B4 you install the wheels, it took me 2 years of soaking the gap between a tractor wheel hub & axle before I could get the wheels off, they DON'T put ANTI-SEIZE on them axles during assembly and most wheels rust onto the axles
Sounds like sage advice..
Numa Newbern, Thank you for stopping by & adding some good tips to this video. I do not know what happened to my original reply? But it went like This :
"Great minds think alike" LOL I had a Montgomery Ward s rider that had a few small air leaks. When I went to put a tube in I could not get the wheel off no matter what I used. The heat I had was only propane, but I used several lubricants plus my own mix of transmission fluid & mineral spirits. Soak for several days tried the heat several ties but a no go. I ended up breaking a clip on the axle inside the ( by banging on the rim) that caused the axle & wheel to to pull out while mowing, then having to stop & push them back in. Got a few laughs while mowing. Anyway I had to split the tranny replace the clip. While the axle was off I still could not remove that wheel. Maybe if I had acetylene with the additional heat I would be able to remove it. I always cleaned any axle I removed a wheel from & added grease but now I will remove wheels that have been on for awhile clean the axle & use the anti seize to prevent this from happening again.
Stay safe, Joe Z
Hi, I pulled and locked the disengage, and the rear tires are locked. Craftsman with an 18hp motor. The rear wheels are locked.
This mover ran great for yrs, it started up went 15ft, then backfired hard out of carb.
Now it is a problem to get it to my heay tools
Junk it,,,,,or .....give it a chance?
Good work lotta work though Joe I just invested $150 and deck parts pulleys idler the whole 9 yards it goes forward sometimes it goes in reverse but you got a punch. Did you get a jerk and jerk it back over into reverse and right at the present time I can it’ll go forward you’ll go on all the speeds so I’m crossing my fingers. Also, I watched your video and I enjoyed it. I can’t understand you and it’s clearly so have a nice weekend and thanks.
Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoyed it. I did get it to go in reverse. If yours still does not work properly it could be lack of transmission oil or grease depending on which transmission you have.
Stay well, Joe Z
I recently go a Lowe’s model 42517 from my deceased father. I have no neutral over ride leaver in the rear to get it to roll. It has a met way hole like yours on left but I see a push rod on your mower on left. How can I unlock this mower. Great video!
Thank you for visiting my channel. Without seeing this mower it is hard to be specific. Some models do not have this lever, they roll when in neutral. I would first check underneath to see if the belts are frayed & possibly tangled. If not check the pullies, they may be frozen with debris or rust from sitting.
I am not sure if your mower is similar but check this video, skip to where I have it on its' side. It may help you to figure out if yours.

You did not say much about the pin in the back that disengages the transmission. Mine used to work but cannot move it any longer on my Craftsman lawnmower, This mower is well taken care of, cleaned after each use and maintained and covered, so I don't think it is rusted or crud, The wheels turn and it works fine except for the fact that we can no longer disengage the trans in order to push or pull it easily. What do you think it is? There are no You Tube videos that I can find on the subject and you seem to know what you are doing, : 😀
Sorry for the late reply. My computer came in contact with the garden hose about 9 days ago. I tried everything I heard of & could think about. Nothing worked. I have the back of it opened, attached a USB keyboard & have to disconnect the original key board once it is powered on. Just sharing. It would have made a good DIY video.
(what NOT to do, what to do & what worked LOL) May still make a video if I venture on changing the org keyboard myself, it is a laptop. I will be sharing this with other comment reply as well. Back to your question, even though you take better care of it then most of what I come into contact with the lever where it connects to the
transmission may still be hung up. If that is not the case the problem will be in the transmission case itself. This is not the hardest job but it will take time & patience. Check that lever & the connection first it is a good possibility that that is where issue is.
Let me know what you find.
Stay safe, Joe Z
Hi, I have a Murray tractor mower that is 14 years old and the right rear wheel is locked. I removed the wheel, cleaned the brakes out, removed the rust and greased it, and still cannot get the right rear wheel to spin forward or backwards. I also tried to remove the brake disk to get to the break pad behind it but the disk will not budge or spin. I have been servicing my own mower for years but there's still a lot I don't know. I can't figure out where the problem is coming from. The mower is in neutral and parking brake is off. It was working fine last week. Can you give me any suggestions as to what it could be? Thanks!
Thank you for visiting & your question. I had several that I did just what you said and this did the trick for some and others what I did in this video worked. Still a few none of the previous methods worked. I am not 100% sure but it may be that the lubricant whether it was an oil or a type of grease is low or just caked up. If you can still find the model & serial # call MTD & ask what was used in this. If oil try adding some. But more than likely you will have to open it up. May just need a cleaning & lubricant added. There may be a screen in there that is clogged or you may need to replace a gear or two. I did not upload any of the work I did on the transmissions due to time factor but there are a few on YT that are very good.
I know this was not a definite answer but I hope it points you in the right direction. Another way to go if you do not have the time to tear into it is to look on line or whatever is available in your area for someone looking to get rid of a "non working" rider & swap the transmissions.
Let me know how you make out with this.
Stay safe, Joe Z
I just got an LT1500, and i was able to put it in neutral and push the mower when off, now the wheels lock up and I cant push it. Mower has forward and reverse. it is the 7 speed shift on the go transmission, so there is no cable coming out the the back for me to pull to manually force it into neutral. But it wont roll. Thoughts?
I do not have one I can look at to direct you as to what to check. I reached out & asked for information. Meanwhile look at the linkages to see if anything is binding , missing or disconnected. It may be a simple fix, just not sure without having one to look at. If I get one in or any information I will get back to you.
Stay well, Joe Z
I forgot to mention this before check to see if it has a variable pully. If so check if it is stuck. Sometimes the bearing in them seize.
These suggestions were just sent to me:
Check the shift linkage. Also the parking brake sometimes locks up. If the wheels are locked, there is something binding. Shift cable may have frayed or rusted in place. Since it will be up in the air to fully check this, may as well check that the brake isn't stuck and the belt is correct. Let me know if this helped you out.
Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 Thanks Joe! I found another video on the shift linkage and making sure the adjustment nut on it was good, and as far as i can tell it is. It will start, run and drive forward and reverse and go into neutral when the engine is running. When i shut the engine off the wheels act as if they are in gear, and when the back i lifted, one wheel spins one way and the other the opposite, and i cant do the test you do of holding one wheel and forcing them to go the same direction... Nothing appears rusted or broken. Its the simple F N R trans, built by MTD apparently. Ill try adjusting the linkage again, and get back to you if i find a solution!
@@danieloshaughnessy8476 Sounds like you're almost there. It is normal for one wheel to spin one way and the other the opposite when it is not running or in neutral.
I have this exact same mower. It won't move and we've tried the lever at the rear, with no results. My late husband made a note on the manual that on the main right hand wheel that there is another lever to disengage the transmission. No one can find it. Help!!
Hi Mary, Sorry about your loss. As far as this mower it only has the 1 lever but the note your husband made may be for the piece that was stuck in this video, When you say the mower won't move is this when it is running or just when you try to
push it?
@@JOEZEP54 thank you. When you try to push it. The battery is dead so I can't start it. I'm trying to just get rid of it as I'm handicapped now & can't mow anymore.
@@maryward613 If you or someone you know can jump start it, I would try to sell it. Let people you know, craigslist or facebook market place. If it still does not move once it is running list it as a riding lawn mower for repair or parts. Check other listings in your area to see what price they are listed at.
Sad most riding are from MTD made. Why I went to Honda push mower
Thank you for driving by. I get several of these a year that are bad, not always a lack of maintenance like this one. Some owners asked the shops if the tranny oil has to be changed & they were told no. That said they provide more than enough material for these videos. Just getting to them is a full time job. If YT had a different pay scale I would do this full time.
I have a strange problem - Mine was rolling ok, I could push it. Then I engaged the transmission and was driving around. I stopped now it won't drive and also won't disengage so that I can push it.. Everything seems to be loose and the levers move.. Strange!
Hi Jim, Thank you for stopping by. Not sure what is causing it to lock up. Check the break lever to see if everything moves as it should. Next check the break itself. The pads may be stuck. These are the first two items I would check. Let me know if this is of any help.
@@JOEZEP54 I jacked it up and the wheels turn freely (opposite direction) so I don't believe it is the brakes.
@@vansantsam I agree. If the break was sticking the wheels would not turn. If all the linkages are moving as they should it may be an internal problem with the transmission/transaxle. Read the response I gave to Ivon just below. Since then I uploaded this video ua-cam.com/video/Er0ecsxW1_I/v-deo.html This was a transaxle that was skipping out of gear but I had a similar one that had a broken part If your unit is a hydrostatic it may be low on fluid or have a dirty filter inside of it. Worse case the pump motor inside may be bad This can be time consuming but not too difficult if you have the time
@@JOEZEP54 I have the identical trans-axle in another mower, so I swapped it out.. When I get more time I will investigate the issue further..
@@vansantsam Glad you had a remedy for it. Always good to have a spare around. When you open it up take a video of it. It will help you when you put it back together & it makes for a good video to watch. Let me know when you upload it.
