Bought a Craftsman made by MTD. 2011 model 247288841
Mower had a blown engine so I put another engine on it, same engine pulley and it goes slow in forward reverse is a little faster.
So far I have adjusted the foot pedal, replaced both drive belts and checked the variable pulley which moves great. Also brake pedal was moving the same time as the accelerator pedal.
The new belt has to much slack in it and there is not much tension on the variable pulley.
If not an actual tension issue, do you all think the transmission is done for? It was garaged kept no rust anywhere. The belts looked to be in good condition too, but I thought maybe they were stretched.
