    Question:
    I have a husqvarna YTH2348 lawn tractor. I pulled the mower out of my shed for the first time this spring. The mower will not move in forward or reverse. I tried to purge the transmission as recommended on this website. Do you have any specific instructions for purging the transmission on a YTH2348. The mower ran fine before I stored it for the winter. I checked the belts and the drive pedal linkage. What additional suggestions do you have?

    Hi Kevin

    Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.

     First, check that the transmission drive belt is still in place on all pulleys, and that the idler pulley(s) rotate to tighten the belt when the clutch pedal is let up. There is a spring to the idler pulley plate which pulls those parts into engagement.

    If the drive system and belt appear OK, start the engine and run just above idle speed; slowly let the brake pedal up - if the engine slows due to a load developing from the drive engaging, but the unit still will not move, inspect the brake mechanism control rod/linkage to see if the brakes are releasing.

    If the above do not help in resolving the condition, we can only siggest you contact an area Husqvarna Service Dealer and ask is help in finding the cause of the condition.

    Thanks again from the Husqvarna Technical Services Team.

      the problem is Husqvarna puts too small of a rear diff in those mowers if you look at the axle where it meets the wheel

      they put a spacer there to fool the customer that its a bigger axle than it really is

      its a tuff torque k46 rear diff which is way under rated, I have the same mower I bought last year

      first problem was the front spindles broke at the defective welds then with 34 hrs the mower deck brackets

      broke off the deck once we had it inspected by the local welding shop they found it to be cold welds

      that did not penetrate the deck in fact there was paint under the weld no quality control there

      then with 45 hrs it no longer would go forward since then we brought them to court

      and yes we won,, due to the facts we had copies of 125 mower complaints about the same problem

      Husqvarna hired a few shoddy reps for there defense  but the judge didn't want to hear it after reading all the complaints

      this guy greg p is just a husky cronie who lies through his teeth

      ya go ahead greg lie some more
