I have an MTD lawn tractor, Diana t81. When I'm changing the drive speed in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear, it still drives slowly as if in the second gear? What could be the problem?
Try putting it in neutral, then in 6th gear, then letting out the clutch. I've read this re-aligns it.
Where is the gizmo on my 16.5 MTD riding mower (15 yrs old about) that will let me push it out of gear. It is stuck in a field and won't start up so. I need to push it. Thank you very much.

I have replaced the belts, but the tractor still will not move. Could it be the transmission?

My MTD riding mower keeps throwing the rear drive belt. It is a 14hp, 38 inch cut. It is fine on level ground, but seems to throw the belt on a decline or when turning on an uneven area. I replaced both drive belts in April and started having this problem in early June.

How do I install a deck engagement cable on my MTD mower?

I have a Yard Machine MTD Special Edition, 18 HP Briggs and Stratton. I have installed a new battery, solenoid, and new battery cables. I checked all of the safety switches. When I try to start the engine with the key I get a chatter from the solenoid. I have started the engine by using a battery with jumping cables. What could be wrong?

I have a MTD lawn tractor 600series, 42in. It suddenly stoped moving. The engine is still running and the deck is running fine, but the car won't move forward and backward. I checked the gear, it appears to be attached to transaxle just fine. I also checked on the R.H spring part and it appears to be fine. Can anyone help? Do you think the transaxle (part number 618-0163) is done? Thanks.

I have a 12hp 38inch MTD riding tractor. The engine drags really slow when trying to start and drains the battery after a few tries. Do I need a new battery or new starter?
Both bearings blew out on the double pulley above the deck on my 1996 MTD riding mower. Are they different sizes?
I have a 14.5 hp MTD yard machine and it is stuck in gear. How can I get it out of gear? Thanks.

I am in the process of repairing a 1997 MTD 18HP lawn mower. I am having a problem putting the carburetor back together properly. Does anyone know where or have some pictures I can look at?
My MTD 15.5HP riding mower won't run unless the choke is pulled out. What could be the problem and how to fix it?

Ron, I think your carburetor is dirty. Remove and clean it well. Billy Griffiths from South Africa.
I have an MTD riding mower, 18hp twin power. I have a carburetor issue, if I choke the carb and cover the little hole with my finger, the engine starts right up. If I remove my finger, it will die. I run the rider with choke pulled out fully. I am unable to utilize the throttle control or it will die. If I push in the choke just a little it will die, does anyone have an answer to my dilemma?

I have an MTD 42a707 18.5 hp riding lawnmower. The engine turns over plenty fast, it is getting gas, and has new spark plugs, but is not getting a spark. Does that model have a coil?
By craig from Zimmerman, MN
If you're not starting and the plug is firing good, it's likely the "anti-backfire valve" has taken a dump. It screws into the bottom of the carb and has a couple of wires on a plug attached. Remove and replace.
Where can I find out how to install the rubber arm pads on my MTD yard machine? I am using replacement round arm pads, Wheeltronic Lift/Snapon Lift.
