I recently had to remove a rear tire from my Scott's riding mower to have it repaired. After returning the tire to the mower I now find that when the clutch is engaged the mower refuses to respond. Can you help me ascertain whether this is due to removing and replacing the tire or do I possibly have another undetermined problem.

Thanks

There is a keeper that will lock the wheel to the axle. It probably fell out when you removed the tire and you will not have any forward or reverse without it. Look at the slot on the axel and the wheel. They must line up and the key will lock them together.

Do you mean it will not move?
