Self-Propelled function not working and won't roll backward - Honda

[TinaMercury]

Lent my Honda Quad-Cut 4 in 1 mower to a friend and it came back with the self-porpelled feature no longer working. Additionally, the rear wheels won't roll backward. Prefer to fix it myself. Any ideas?

I can get you some troubleshooting info if you'll share the frame serial number; it is on the back edge of the mower deck.

I'll contact my service department on this and see what they say about it, what year is it from?

Okay, that is what is known as "K8" model and here are the troubleshooting steps to follow (see attached files) in order 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.

If you need more details, you should probably get the factory shop manual. Honda sells them direct on eBay and Amazon with free shipping:

I don't see a year but the serial number is MZCG-8575776. Does that work?

Yes...you have a K8 model, and I posted details/images on how to troubleshoot it in posting #5 (10:53 am) in this thread:
