    I need help with my riding mower.
    I have a Bolens model 660 riding mower. It's 4 years old. Last week I tried starting it but had problems. It sounded like the battery was dead, so I went buy a brand new one. Hooked it up and now it does absolutely nothing and it is stuck in gear. I cannot get it in neutral for some reason. So this may be a twofold question since it won't start and get out of gear. Possibly if I can get it out of gear it may start since there is probably a safety device, but I really don't know. So any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Look under the frame for anything binding... yes it's a safety switch keeping you from starting it in gear.

Honda Riding Mower [ 2 Answers ]

I have a 1990 Honda 3813 riding mower. It starts fine, but once I engage the blade, the mower proceeds very slowly in 5th gear then dies out (chokes out). When I don't have the blade engaged, it moves fine. It also will not go up a slight incline without choking out. Any suggestions?
