cc30 won't move forward/ reverse

[gatorblade]

Borrowed neighbors cub 30. Mowed OK. Shut off, blew off, started back up to put in shed. Won't move in forward or reverse. It's acts like when you pull out the wire at the rear end on a hydrostatic mower to disengage so you can push the mower around. It's like there is a safety switch not letting the mower go into gear. Anyone experience this? Thanks, gatorblade

Check that the drive belt is in the pulleys properly
Some time if the brake is set you can blow it off the pulley .

That makes good sense as it happened after releasing the brake. I will be checking those belts next week. Thanks so much, gatorblade

Belts ok. Took to mower shop. Mechanic took lower back cover off to check pulleys,tension on belts ect. Checked out ok. Back together, worked in forward and reverse. Mechanic had no explanation. This happened to the owner last summer with the same results.The owners yard takes 30 min. to mow. Both times this happened the mower was ran an extra 45 minutes due to helping a neighbor mow their yard. For now the mower will stay in the owners yard till the problem is solved. Thanks, gatorblade
