[Mower Mac]

Hopefully someone can help,just picked up this mower been sitting for a few yrs. It runs excellent but it had one wheel that would not roll so I loosened the brake so it would roll but when I put the pedals for forward or reverse it just creeps push pedal farther down it kills motor. what could be the problem the parking brake and brake pedals seem to be froze up.

run it slow and keep it running and moving. Then check the brake drums for heat. Bingo if one or both are more than warm.

Answer this first then move to hydraulics: Lift cylinders both work when stopped ? Load transfer valve works ?

Engine stops as in fuel cutoff, or something is jammed up ? Pull ff the wheels, then the brake drums via the large nut. Save the stamped locknut. Now watch the axles as you try to run it.
