I bought an old steel hood 111 mower for $30. it's been sitting outside for many years but is still cosmetically decent. It's got an 11HP Brigs in it and a 38" deck. I picked it up as a winter project for me and my 14yr old son. The motor is not seized but will not try to start till I flush the gas tank, oil and remove/clean carb. My biggest concern at this point is when you lift up the rear end and spin a wheel forward the other wheel spins in reverse. This makes pushing it to load and bring home quite a chore unless we get a winch. Any ideas on what could be causing this? major problem or just something stuck in the wrong position?
