craftsman lawn tracter, 917.258870 automatic, won't go into gear
Original Message Mar 26, 2013 7:58 pm

I just picked up a craftsman lawn tracterm with an 18.5 hp Kohler twin. engine runs fine, but when I go to put it into gear it makes a sort of loud screeching noise. It seems like it wants to move, but doesn't.also, when I go to push it, it really drags.

can someone lead me to a site where I can download transmission information, both parts and repair information.

Thanks
