Thank you for watching. This Troybilt riding mower was working just fine and then one day it stopped moving. For something like this its always easier to look at the easy things first before thinking the worst. I hope you found this video helpful and if so please consider subscribing . Thanks again.
This is exactly what happened to me while mowing the lawn today. I have a Troy-Bilt as well. In fact, it's a very similar model. I inherited it from my father, and wasn't even sure how to troubleshoot it. This video was very helpful. I will look at the drive-belt tomorrow. Thank you for making this video. I can't believe that there are people out there that put a thumbs down on this.
Thank you Brian Hughes for the comment I appreciate it
Thanks so much for this video! Exact same thing happened while I was mowing, sudden stop, would not go forward or reverse, thought I was screwed because I was thinking transmission even though lawnmower was only 4 years old. Did exactly what you showed and sure enough that fixed it! Thanks again!
You're welcome and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Thanks to your video and comments, I will check my tractor myself and will get back to post a comment wether I fixed it or not.
You're welcome and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Next day after this video was released, the drive belt snapped. It was replace but immediately the blade belt broke. Lesson learned ... just save yourself some time and replace all your belts at the same time, every time. It gives you more mowing time without breakdown interruptions!
You are absolutely correct about that
Thanks for the video! This was my exact issue. I just fixed it. I was going to call a repair guy tomorrow. You saved me. :)
No problem James Byrd and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Thanks for helping a single lady out!!
You are so welcome!
I got the same problem, right now. This helps!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
I guess it's true, metal pulleys wearout as well.My engine engine pulley was bad off even with a new belt I bought a new one and it seemed to solve the problem.It's like new again
nice work!
Worked for me...thank you. Obviously I need a new belt but was able to get the grass mowed today.
You're welcome
Thanks for making this video, it helped me fix my mower very quickly
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it.
Good tip. I’m getting one of these for free because it doesn’t move. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it doesn’t need a transaxle.
Hopefully so. It's sometimes the simple things that make them stop.
Thank you! This helped a bit. Now my Clutch is stuck in the down position.
try spraying the pivot points and cable with wd40
You just saved me a lot of money. Thank-you!
no problem.
This might be my problem. Thanks. I’m going to Go check.
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
Idk if you see this or not but idk if its my belts knowing I brought them pretty recently .my mower will not go uphill unless it's pushed and sometimes won't move in either direction D/R unless its given a little nudge
interesting, I wold check the belt "Tension" when in drive, or the one or both the pulleys have been worn down.
Thanks for your video it helped me
No problem
We replaced the belt, in fact all new belts, but my mower still won’t move backwards or forward
Great video simple fix
Nice explanation. Howard
thank you Howard Morris
thank you now I know where to start to trouble shoot
You're welcome and thank you for the comment I appreciate it
Just what I needed to know! Thanks man ❤❤
Happy to help!
Wtf, this was my exact problem, thanks for the info
no problem.
Thanks, do you have anything on replacing decks on a 42 in cut Troybuilt?
unfortunately no
Good Job. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot I Fixed it thanks to you
No problem and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Great tip ~!~!
Thank you for comment. Your input is appreciated.
You could clearly see the drive belt was cracked and rotten, its past due for replacement.
Yes you are absolutely correct
How do I release tension from the belt to unjam it
Try putting the parking brake on.
Thanks for the video! My mower started right up this season, but won’t move. I looked at the belt and it is on there and can freely move over the pulleys. In fact it is pretty loose. Do you think being too loose can cause it to not work properly?
I remember last summer the mower would barely go up hills.
possibly. Was the parking brake on when you checked the drive belt?
oh yeah i forgot to mention , at one point in this i had to remove starter because the bendix would Not engage to flywheel ring gear for a day !😡 👎 this is a 2011 bronco. make sure you read my other added comment !
yes I've read and responded to it. hope something goes your way
Great job 👍
Thank you Alan Marshall for the comment I appreciate it.
Thank YOU
Thank you too!
Will a loose belt cause it not to move its on but has a
Lot of play
it's very possible
Is it possible for the top pulley to be loose to where the mower drives flat but then won't go uphill because the upper belt is slipping?
no I don't believe so, It seems to be a friction issue with the belt and the pulley. check to make sure the belt is rolled over on the wrong side of the belt, and that the belt hasn't worn Narrower too. Also spray any tension assemblies to they are moving like they should.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE thanks!
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE looks like the belt is only .45 inch thick and it's supposed to be like .65 inch thick
@@jaredwiman1845 there you go. New belt it is
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE problem solved! Thank you so much 😄
I was given a mower like this...... it moves, but very slowly...... any ideas......
Thanks for the comment. Check the drive belt to the transmission and check the pulley under the engine. That pulley might be covered oil. After that check that the brake isn't dragging on the transmission. After that it could be the transmission.
Got a new T140 that want move. Check to see if a belt broken. NOPE. It just stop moving for no reason what so ever. Waiting for a cooler day to trouble shoot it Lowe's change over mowers, I really thought that Craftsman was a better mower than Troy Built NOPE ! My pony is better ! The T140 is like a Super Bronco ~ I got it for a back up, and my back up let me down. The pony is trotting right on around
good luck
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Thanks
We replaced that belt on ours & it Still won't run. The accelerator pedal is limp & won't return all the way back, any ideas??... - thanks
I'll have to look at the mower tomorrow.
Thanks man, but I'm afraid the rear end/transmission is screwed up now. When the rear is jacked up off the ground the wheels usually turn opposite directions when u roll'em by hand: they're NOT doing that anymore... mercy. Something is screwed up in there.
@@leeisenberg thanks for the update
I just had the long drive belt routed the wrong way around the pedal pulleys.
Excellent. Thanks for the update.
My mower drives and cuts but when I'm gear it won't stop and also the blades won't disengage like they are supposed to. I bought it for $175 I want to fix it so I can use it safely!
Do you mean that you can't disengage the electric pto for the blades while in gear? How about its your not moving? So how are the blades disengaging now?
When I crank it in neutral; the blades are not moving but when I engage them and try turning them back off the will not disengage. Now far as the not stopping. If I put it in forward and start moving I have no brakes , but if I'm in neutral I have breaks
@@xavierdennardjr.2070 it sounds like you have multiple problems. The problem button may be the problem for the blades as it can wear out internally. As for the brakes, have you tried testing it the mower not running? Set the parking brake and try pushing it from the back.
When it is turned off the brake works even the parking brake. The guy told me it would be a quick adjustment , but I need to know exactly what to adjust
@@xavierdennardjr.2070 over by the brake there is a bolt you turn to adjust the brake but what it sounds like is the transmission isn't disengaging so your fighting the engine.
Mine will go in reverse but not forward, any ideas?
Look underneath and make sure the linkage isn't obstructed by dirt or debris and if it's good spray any pivoting or sliding parts with wd40.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE thank you...
@@royknight3264 no problem
My mower only goes in reverse won't go forward for some reason could a drive belt be the reason???? Any body know it is a mud mower not pulley swapped
doubt its the belt, is the trans an auto? or does it have multiple gears?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE auto
have you checked the fluid level, in the tans then?
I hit a small stump with my fider it starts but move what could be wrong
what part the rider hit the stump? the blades, just the deck or just a wheel? I would look at the drive belt.
It was the blade and it was out side i was mowing
yes check that the drive belt hasn't come off either the front or rear pulley
Now you can work on why turning the key to off doesn’t kill the engine.
Sure, there's could be a bad contact, in side the key switch, or the grounding wire, to short the coil, might be disconnected, or corroded.
What is the term for this type of mower transmission? I under these are single speed variable pulley style transmission. Thanks.
I've never really looked into these transmissions In depth so I can't answer it without inspecting one. I no longer have this mower.
INSIDE HOUSE GARAGE Thanks anyway. I found it elsewhere
@@cstrutherskgs no problem
trans axle...
And I have this similar model
nice.
Hi.... maybe you can help me....I have a old Sears mower..... my starter gear won't pop up....????
Sure. Use some compressed air and blow the dirt from the middle part that the gear rides up on. Then spray some carb cleaner in the same place. If needed spray a light amount of wd40
I did put on a push button to bypass my switchs... would you like the starter bad...the gear just set there an spinning....
@@davejeff6941 did you check your battery polarity? They may be backwards so the gear is spinning the wrong way.
No.... how do you check the battery polarity?
Which way should the run...cw..or ccw?
This is Zayden
Hey Zayden! Good to hear from you.
That’s not the problem with mine the belt is fine but it won’t move
did you check to make sure the lever, is moving fully into position?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE yes and the shifter does move there is a grinding noise when I push it in neutral
there might be an issue, inside the transmission then.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE found the issue it was the main drive gear
nice work!
new drive belt , new battery , new cutter deck spindle , new deck belt about 150 bucks later and lots of my time , TROY wheels are like locked up , will not move even in neutral , they turn opposit ways if you pull it with car [ TROY built 👎👎👎 boooo booo ! ] so now im going to rip out brake and see if problem , about three weeks into this ! 👎 🔩🔧🔨 .
I understand your frustration. thanks for the comment I appreciate it
