Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): transmission problem, keystock, rear tires

Question
Model # 917.271634
I t will not move in any gear. It just bucks and sort of moves just a couple of inches at a time.

Answer
Hi Steven:

The symptoms you are describing to me sound like a broken gear inside of the transmission unless you recently removed the rear tires and forgot to put the keystock back in the wheel.  This is a major repair and although the parts are not that expensive the labor to do the reapir is quite intensive.

When you shift do you come to a complete stop and press the clutch all the way forward
