    Craftsman riding mower starts but won't move
    I went out and started my riding mower for the first time this year, but it won't move. Parking Brake is not engaged, purge procedure was done last year when I bought the mover and used it all summer. Help!

    Sounds like a transmission issue or maybe the shifter is not correctly putting it into gear.

    When you put it into gear are you hearing or "feeling" like it's going into gear or trying to go into gear?

    Thank you for replying to this. I went back out and realized the Freewheel Control Rod was in the wrong position. I thought it was suppose to be dis-engaged. Sorry for taking up your time. I feel kind of "durrrr"
