I have a Craftsman lawn tractor and something happened while mowing. Now to get the mower to go forward or reverse I have to pull back on the clutch/brake pedal. Works fine as long as I have it pulled back, but my foot is getting tired holding it in position so the mower will go. Recently divorced and don't know much about mowers please help. Thank You Leah

SOunds like asring has come off or brokekn on the idler plate. Lower deck to lowest position and look up under neath in the middle and see if you see a spring

Could Also Be A Large Spring On The Left Side Of The Mower , Just Under The Frame. Easiest To See From The Right Hand Side Looking Across With A Flashlight.
