I have 2 older Sears Grey Riding Mowers... Both Models 917.255741. My Original one: When I have in neutral (6 Speed forward, 1 reverse) I can PUSH IT or PULL IT Around OK.. But The newer one (looks like the older one but has a Safety Switch under the seat)

Problem: Can't MOVE It In Neutral When SHUT OFF? It REVERSES One Wheel from the other... when I try to PUSH it "BY HAND"- Forward OR Backward- to Move it without Starting it. (Strange? The Old One Does NOT DO THAT In NEUTRAL) Maybe someone could HELP Me figure Out WHY It does that? Once running It drives OK, forward or backward. It Drives in all speeds... OK.

BUT...AsI said: Wont Move in Neutral engine running or not. I think that One Time BEFORE... In Neutral- Stopped and Shut off It seemed that I could MOVE IT Forward or back by hand power.. but not now???

I Put the rear end on Blocks and When TURN The Rear wheel by hand in neutral- ONE WAY- The Other Wheel goes the Opposite way? But When Running and in GEARThey Both Go FORWARD OK... Got Me Stumped... HELP? Thanks, Grandpa. [email protected]

Look for a release lever either under the seat, on the console, or at the rear of the tractor.
