  • / help lost spring from mtd 38 in twin blade tractor lawn mower
Hello to all out there I own a mtd lawn tractor, I lost a spring found it on the ground and now my transmission will not engage. I have looked and looked but cannot determine where that spring fell off from. Like I said in my title it is a 2007 twin blade 38 inch lawn tractor can someone please help any ideas', I am living on disability so money is short so I have to do this myself, if anybody has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark

If hydrostat transmission there is a idler pulley attached to an arm just in front of the tranny pulley. Hooks to that arm under the pulley and the other end hooks to the frame on left side of mower, most likely in a hole in the transmission support bracket.
