Hello Benny:

Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool and I can Only Answer Questions from the Question Pool when I am Not Answering Questions here or at the Other Site I Answer Questions at. Also, I am on Vacation and had a Few Minutes to Answer a Few Questions. If you Remove the Drive Belt and the Input Shaft from the Transmission you should be Able to Operate the Mower as a Regular Push Mower.
