Hi-

I have a 2018 Pony lawn mower. Recently while mowing tall grass, hit a bump on the edge of the depression. Mower stoped while still in gear, but blades continued to spin. Inspected drive belts and upper has skipped out of pulleys. Following usual instructions, put belt on pulleys. Now tractor still will not go forward or reverse. Belt from motor to transmission appears intact.
?? transmission broken. Appreciate any help.

Had neglected to reattach idler pulley spring. After reattaching spring and installing upper belt and following suggestion of below post, started mower. It moved several feer and the stopped.
Today took out battery - upper drive belt again off. Any ideas

Something you can try , start the mower and put the speed selector in the highest settinng. And with the F N R lever in N let the clutch out and push it back in and then put the transmission in gear and let the clutch out and see if it will move. This applies if you don't have the go pedal on the right side but have the normal, brake/clutch pedal on the left.
