    Troy Bilt Riding Lawn Mower issues
    2006 Troy Bilt "Pony" 17.5 HP, 7 speed "shift on the go"

    Just moved and it was fine when it went on moving truck. Arrives and zero happens when key is turned. Suspect battery, but checks fine. Suspect safety switches. Check seat, brake, PTO switches. All look good physically being activated, did not do wiring check.

    Any ideas?

    Issue two arrives as I am about to surrender to above and take it to repair place. Now the mower will not come out of gear to be pushed up ramps. This was not an issue yesterday, nuetral worked fine for moving it. No physical interference in rod to tranny case.

    Ideas? Or anyone have a match I can borrow?

    Thanks in advance

    pull the carburetor, get a bucket of carb cleaner (the kind with the basket, gallon can), and soak 24 hours. Blow out all orfices with compressed air. 9 times out of 10 it will work fine now.

    Might also blow out the gas line itself.

    Regarding it not moving in any gear, you would want to check the pulleys, make sure the key is in correctly on back wheels, and make sure the belts aren't worn out.

    I have also found a Troy Bilt Pony Lawnmower user manual that may further assist you.
