I have a 11hp briggs and stratton powered mtd lawnflite.
There is a problem with the drive to the wheels.
It was progressive over last summer (where I lost drive to 5th gear, then 4th etc etc)and now I need to mower the grass it will not move when I put it into gear.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Phil

Well I have had this lawn flite for 2 years and bought it second hand, I will change it just to be safe but there seems to be no drive going to the belt anyway

You might also look at the pulley on the tranny.
That would cause it to quit going .but the belt being loose would cause it slip in high gear but not low gear,look at the belt and look and see if the sides of it looks shiny.luck
