Can someone help me determine why my craftsman kohler engine 16hp manuel transmission riding lawnmower stopped being able to move but still is able to turn on/off and engage the mower blade? I have checked the clutch but it appears to work since the mower is able to be turned on/off. All of the noticeable belts are still intact. Help!

Inspect and see if the belt has jumped off the transaxle pulley.

Check for a worn belt or broken belt tensioner that would be my guess unless the tranny is busted.

The Craftsman that I used to use would throw the belt at least once every time I used it. It would come off the pulley on the transaxle.

mower_man,

The mower I was talking about is an older one that I used to use. I don't have it any more.
