I have an old 21" Craftsman (MTD) Front-Self Propelled lawn mower with the 6.5HP B&S Quantum Series engine and I can't get my self propel system working. I've taken it apart twice now looking for broken hooks or anything and I can't figure it out. The belt is tight and turning the gearbox when I pull the lever. If I hold the front end of the mower in the air, pull the lever to start the wheels, one of the wheels turns the other doesn't. If I lower the front end on the ground the turning wheel stops, it won't continue turning under load...Is this a sign my gear box is finished?
