Actually, I did find the key. Right where it would have fallen out. Sure enough, mower is running like a champ 😁. However, with the corona shutdown,I've been doing everything but mowing the lawn. And the weather around here has only allowed for a day here or day there to get other outdoor projects done. But, thanks for the link 😁. Would have definitely needed it if I changed the tire in the grass.

Hi Steve, I have an older Murray lawn tractor in really nice shape 12 horse Briggs with 36 inch cut. 6 speed with reverse. problem I'm having is that it shifts fine when the motor is off but once it's running it doesn't want to shift into other gears it's very hard to shift. Do you think its a belt not allowing trans to fully disengage or worn shift keys?
@wyelandlebeouf7202 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Steve I kind of ran into this yesterday on a clients mower I knew the check the key sure enough it was gone. My question would be will it still engage the transmission and move somewhat if the key is still in place on the other tire? It's rare 2 flats happen at same time lol I'm just curious because I assume.it should have engaged the transaxel and make the transmission spin?

Steve - You are the MAN!!! I just did that exactly with my X300 John Deere Rider. I had a flat and took it off to have the tire repaired. When I put it back on, I noticed the tire would spin freely on the axle and thought that was odd but went ahead with the install. Lo and behold, when I cranked the mower, it would not move. I loaded the mower on my trailer to take it to the dealer since I was convinced the transaxle had failed over the winter with no use. Then the smartest thing I did all day was look at this KZfaq and it described my situation and my fix EXACTLY!!!. Just as you predicted, when I looked at the ground where I had removed the tire, I found the locking key. I took off the plastic wheel hub, C CLip and washer and inserted the key and I am GOOD TO GO!!! Thanks STEVE. You saved me.

Don’t tow & brake alot if you can,helps for durability. It is cheaper this way than to replace whole mower & will last as good as old school pure mechanical setup 😉

If it has the plastic transmission, around 100 hours of use, a screw on top of the transmission pulls through a washer atop of a spring. There's a few videos of this issue and how to repair the problem. I have a JD d105 that I will be working on this week. It seems to be an easy fix but getting to it is going to be a bit tedious.

Steve you're the Man! I never noticed the key when I puled the wheel to fix a flat. You saved me big $$ when I bought $4 key stock instead of having to pay to pick up my mower, fix it and then return it. Thanks so much.

Thanks for this video! My dad and I were replacing the tire on my grandma’s lawn mower, and when we started it up, it wouldn’t go. I found this video and then found the key. Thanks again!

@mycatumz640 5 жыл бұрын
With that said. Is there not another key on the other side that should allow the system to work? I've never lost mine but it's a solid axle so it should turn.
@StevesSmallEngineSaloon 5 жыл бұрын
It is actually not a solid axle. If it was it would be "posi track" and when you turned on the lawn, one wheel would tear the grass apart....

After putting a new tire on my girlfriend’s Craftsman mower, the thing wouldn't drive. I was ready to go buy her a new mower when I saw this on KZfaq. Turns out a two dollar key saved me from buying a new mower. Thank you so much for this video!

LOL, how many thousands of people has this happened too ??? Rule 1- Work on stuff on a clean flat cement like surface (where you can find parts. Rule 2- Take photos during disassembly Rule 3 - A round axle turning in a round hole in a wheel goes nowhere. Watch the mechanic in the Doc Hollywood movie " Every time I fix a car I seem to have a bag of parts left over." This happens on many brands of mowers and sometimes sticks in the keyway on the axle or wheel (until it falls out in the grass, truck or at the repair shop). This is a needed video Steve.

Steve you're the man! Like others this played out just the way you describe. Just spent $200 + on TLC for my Husqvarna, including mounting 4 new tires tonight. Jumped on cranked it up and won't move. Found your video, walked straight out into the yard and picked up the right rear key out of of the dirt. Slid it in and it took off! Didn't realize the right was the positive drive side and the left is just following along. The left tire slid on so easy, and I thought I got lucky when the right one did too, but It was because I had knocked the key out.

Thank you Steve. My belt jumped off the back transmission pulley and I had to remove one of my rear tires. Put the belt on and the darn thing wouldn’t move. I thought the transmission had went out. But after watching this video I found my key laying in the grass. I pulled the wheel and put the key back on and presto the thing pulls again. Thank you so much.
