Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I have a 536.889251 Craftsman snowblower with a hydro trans, it won't move forward or reverse.
When blocked up, it spins the wheels very slowly, but they will stop if I apply slight pressure.
Yes, the belt is properly adjusted.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

I was told by a Craftsman tech that the fluid is  not red in these transmissions, it is  almost clear like new motor oil.    As already suggested, make sure that the

freewheel control on the back os the bottom case in in the engaged position.
