This old Craftsman mower won't go forward or backwards. I had it sitting under a tarp for about 8 months and cranked it up today. It cranks up fine and the blade works, just won't move. It was moving just fine 8 months ago. When I checked the oil, I saw that it needed some so I put some in it. It's right at the full mark so I know I didn't overfill it. The oil (I believe) goes into the transmission. I went and got my cousin and we checked the belts up under there. I noticed that the belt that moves the mower felt like it was loose and didn't have any tension but my cousin says that's how it's supposed to be. He thinks the transmission is done... I just don't get how that could be because I worked fine 8 months ago and all it was doing was sitting under a tarp. Anyways, here's a picture of the mower. Model # - 917.271632. What could be the problem?
