Question:
I have a YTH22V46. I finished mowing, then pulled the brake/neutral release rod at the back outward to allow me to push/roll the tractor into its storage location.
Normally I just press the brake pedal on the left side with my foot to re-engage, so that it will no longer roll freely, but this had no effect. The mower could still roll freely. I manually pushed the rod at the back of the mower back in, and it clicked into place, but the mower STILL was able to roll freely. I repeated this a few more times with no luck.
Searching around, 99.9% of complaints involve the opposite problem, the mower being unable to go into neutral, or parking brake unable to release, so I can't really find anything on the exact issue I'm having.
Any idea what may be going on here? Anything to look for? Thanks!
EDIT: Probably obvious, but after reading the manual what I'm referring to is the freewheel control. So the mower is stuck in "freewheel mode" and it seems that the transmission is not re-engaging.
