    Sears Craftsman 11hp Lawn Tractor Transmission
    My Sears Craftsman 11hp Lawn Tractor Model #917 254 270 :when engine is running and clutch is disengaged,it will not shift to another gear. You have to turn it off and move tractor back and forth before it will shift into another gear. Any ideas what's causing this and what to do about it? Or, is the gear box just worn out?

    This rear end has grease in it.
    Sounds like maybe the brake needs adjusted.sounds like the transmission pulley isn't stopping,
    This would make it hard to shift.

    Could be the rod in the rear end is slipping off the connecting rod, and would have to be taken apart to see if it is off the connecting rod, that would cause it hard to shift
