    I got a free Craftsman T2200 and got it running and found that it must have transmission problems as I couldn't get it to move either. I will look for a broken part like you did.

      Of course, look at the belt and all the drive pulleys and then also look at the pins in the axles to make sure they have the little metal spacers(I forget what they’re really called)

    I’m having a similar (drive belt I believe) issue with a 2004 craftsman revolution riding mower, it’ll start and blades will engage, when I go to move forward or backwards it smokes like a civ and smells like burnt rubber. Just happened 5 min ago so I’m just about to dive into it. I just got this mower so I’m very unfamiliar with it. I bass fish for a living, not so much mower work🤣🤣 appreciate your insight man. Just subbed!

      I had this happen on a mower a few years ago, and the problem with that one was the drive belt was too tight and it would grind the gears when shifting
      It was probably an inch too small so I replaced it with the correct size drive belt and it stopped

    Great video I have the same mower.
    I have a question for ya.
    I have a 2 year old Craftsman t110 lawn tractor. It hasn't ran or moved since last year.
    I was cutting my grass and the mower just turned off and came to a dead stop. No bang or any noise no smoke no nothin. I started it right back up but only ran for a second and shut off again.
    Now it turns over, gets spark, starter is fine but won't start. Its like its not getting gas? It also has that fuel shut off solenoid.
    The bigger problem is I can't push or pull the mower cause 1 rear tire goes one way and the other goes the other way. So to move it I have to pick up the rear-end and push it. I've tried putting it in drive, reverse or neutral same thing happens. Nothing. I jacked the rear-end up and one wheel goes one way the other the other way.
    The mower is in my basement down the hill. I can't push it up to the front of my house without picking up the rear-end. So almost impossible to get it to my trailer to take it to get it looked at.
    If these mowers won't start will it lock the back wheels up like that?
    If you could help in anyway it would be appreciated greatly sir.
    Thank you
    Mike

      does that have a fuel pump?
      And is it hydrostat or gears?

    • @liquidrockaquatics3900
      @liquidrockaquatics3900 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You probably already figured it out, but that mower has a hydrostat, so you have to hit the hydrostat dump to push it or tow it

    Hey Murph... I have a similar mower but Poulan brand. I was excited with your video, because my mover starts but the drive belt won't engage. I thought perhaps it was the linkage, unfortunately for me that is not the case. However, I notice when it starts and release my foot off the break it's shuts off even though I'm sitting on the mower. Any idea where or what to check to help resolve the issue? I used it a couple of weeks ago, as I cut bi-weekly. TIA

    • @MurphyMower
      @MurphyMower  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      First thing I would do is check seat switch

    • @MurphyMower
      @MurphyMower  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So there is a seat switch and a switch at your foot clutch and then also you need to look at your relay is bound to be one of those

    • @MurphyMower
      @MurphyMower  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There’s another video that I have where I would start it and as soon as I remove my foot off the break, it would die or if I try to engage the blades, it would die. In that case it was the relay.

    • @MurphyMower
      @MurphyMower  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry, it was not clear
      It was missing two bolts into the transmission which made the transmission twist so I replaced the two bolts and then replace the linkage arm and that’s basically what did it
      Hope this helps. Thanks.
