I know how important it is to have a good working tractor in the home so that you can keep your lawn nice and trimmed. While you are waiting for an expert answer, I did manage to find three links that will provide you with some good tips about what may be causing the problem on your tractor. I hope my link is useful.

The first thing to check is to see if the ground drive belt is turning the input pulley on the transaxle. The most common problem when a tractor won't move is a broken ground drive belt.
If the belt is ok, put the transaxle in neutral and pull the bypass lever. Try to push the tractor by hand. If the rear wheels slide, the brake on the transaxle is locked.Check the linkage between the shift lever and the transaxle. If a bolt is loose, the slack in the linkage can cause the transaxle to not engage.Try these things and if you have questions, reply on this link and I will be glad to help.Join this conversation.
