Good morning!
I'm new to the forums and this is my first post. I recently discovered that my Yard Machine (13RN771H729) will not go forward or backward when the shifter is moved to Forward or Reverse position. I removed the battery and battery support straps and checked the belts (which were replaced about a year ago) and they seemed fine. I did discover that an extension spring (PN 732-04276A) was dangling from the outside of the battery housing and that one of the hook ends was missing. I looked at my parts manual to discover that this spring is hooked to the shifter shaft when installed. My question is would this broken spring cause my mower to no longer go forward or backward or should I be looking for other problems?
Thanks so much for any info you can provide!
