Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Wizard 14.5 hp. Hydrostat, oem id, belt tensioner


Question
I bought this mower a few weeks ago used. Worked fine then. Now when I go to back it out of the garage it doesnt want to move. When I go forward a little bit then it will go in reverse. Now today it didnt want to move forward or backward very well. Any ideas? I have no manual to go from.

Answer
Hello Jon:

Check the Transaxle Drive Belt and Belt Tensioner Pulley. If the Belt is Loose, then Replace it. Also, On the Transaxle Housing is an OEM ID Plate (Peerless, Dana ect). Send me All the Information Off this Plate, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. Thanks.
