I don't know what I did to the old chariot. It was fine when I put it away. However, I started the engine and put it in gear, but it didn't more. No gears work. The belt(s) are in position and the drive pulley on the transaxle rotates when I let the clutch out. The brake rod and gear selector seem to be working alright. Everything looks fine, but the wheels don't go around.
Perhaps one of the several Woodruff keys is sheared off. I'm sure I drove it into the garage parking spot but shearing off a key would seem to require something dramatic.
I'm not confident in the abilities of the local repair shop so I'm looking for advice from this group. Are there tests I can do to figure out what's wrong?
Is it a big job to tear apart the transaxle? Can I pop off the top cover without removing it from the chassis of the tractor? I have a small wheel puller for pulling off car steering wheels, etc. That might help. Please advise.
