LK3054 won't move in forward or reverse

[kentrodngun]

Hi all, I've been clearing out a lot (thousands) of trees to finally put in that pond. I got the chainsaw stuck and got out the tractor and a long rope to take the pressure off the saw so I could remove it. I went forward and took up the slack. I was inching forward a bit more when the tractor started rolling back. I took off the rope and could not move the tractor in forward or reverse.

It is a gear tractor. The PTO and hydraulics both work (assume this means the clutch is still OK) but I cannot move it. Moving the forward & reverse lever, I see the linkage moved up & down ok. I towed it up to my shop and there she sits. It is mowing season and I really need it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

OK, this is embarrassing but all is well. I don't use the high/low range shifter due to the hilly and often wet nature of my property. My leg must have bumped and popped the lever into neutral. I never thought to look. I know better now, hence my signature. Always making mistakes and learning.

At least it was an easy fix.

Hey, we have all been there. My three point would not go down the other day. It took me 10 minutes to figure out the lowering speed adjustment was turned too much not letting it move down.

Been there myself. Kind of a lousy design with the fwd/reverse and hi/lo range levers positioned like that. Levers can bump into each other if shifting between ranges and knock one of 'em into neutral.
