craftsman automatic lawn tracter

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. when I go to push it, it really drags. The brake unit is free. The model number is 917.258870, serial # 021197C002294. the #'s on the transaxel are 150073 218-3010L 6348C1058. It does have a spin on filter, but I don't see any p;ace to refill it (and what do I use?) ANY IDEAS? |

craftsman Lawn Tracter, hydrostatic, won't move.

Okay, I had previously posted about this tracter Sears # 917.258870, Serial # 021197c002294, with a kohler 18.5 HP twin. It runs, but does not want to move. Pushes very hard. Put the engage/disengage lever in the rear in and out without any difference. Worked the disc on the brake set-up and it turns freely. I also tried moving the shift lever as I was trying to push it, but it didn't make any difference. I got these numbers off of the trans-axel case 150073 218-3010L 6348c1058, also, while looking under this tracter, I see that there is a filter(looks loke a spin on) on it. I went on the sears parts site, but those pictures don't do any justice. anyone know where I can get a REAL manual, or somewhere where I can download one. As I said in my original post, the engine runs, and then I put the brake/clutch in and put it in either forward or reverse. when I let the pedal out it make a sort of screeching or grinding noise and doesn't show any effert as if it wants to move. So that is where I am at. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. At this point, I have not looked to see if there is any way to check or fill any fluid. I am thinking about taking off the seat assembly and rear fender assembly to get a better look at things. Thanks, Don |

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 |
