I purchased this mower knowing that the self-propulsion didn't work. I removed the pinion gears, ratchet keys, and springs, and just used it as a push mower. It's in great shape but for the transmission. I decided to see if I could trouble shoot it. When I engage the drive pulley (which seems tight enough) nothing happens (and I mean nothing makes a sound, and the drive shaft doesn't move. Of course the wheels don't). With the engine off, I can turn the drive shaft with vise-grip pliers in either direction with only moderate effort. Doing so does not cause the pulley wheel above the transmission to move. Similarly, moving the pulley wheel in both directions does not cause the drive shaft to move. It seems that the problems is within the transmission. Other ways to confirm this before I go to the trouble/expense of getting a new one would be appreciated. Many thanks.
