@RickN, I’ll come take a look at it next week. Probably something simple but ya never know.
probably a safety switch or something.

Safety switch under seat on my craftsman used to give me fits til I rewired it out of the system. Now the one that drives me nuts is I keep forgetting about the fuel cutoff I put in.

I am almost positive it is the clutch pedal not depressing enough. It will not go into neutral. You can move the shifter into the position but it does not come out of gear. Safety switch should not effect that.

Maybe an excess buildup of grass keeping things from going in to gear?

Should not be but I will check.

I've read stopping on an incline can cause some binding in the transmission. Does yours take some kind of trans fluid? Have you checked it?

I will mess with it tomorrow but I have to go pick up the kid soon.

Well, replacing it with a young goat could solve the mower problem, but they come with their own issues.

That is what we need, a young trans goat. Functional as well as decorative.

I know the wife really loves those pygmy goats but I doubt we can have one in Edmond and a new mower would probably be cheaper. Besides it would eat the wife's flowers and then I would be in trouble, again.

Hopefully it is just a linkage issue. Being as new as it is it should have the rod in the back to freewheel the transmission. I'm not aware of any safety switch that would prevent the transmission from going into neutral.
