    Heard a clunk sound. Engine shut off & now the starter will not turn. Have replaced the battery & solenoid but the starter will turn. Where should I look to find the problem?

    I have a 48" 25hp I believe the mod. # is 917.272260. It is a hydromatic drive. For a while it would not go forward for a couple of seconds then jump forward. Now it will only go in reverse and will not go forward, any ideas. Thanks Phil..
