uberM

We're anticipating another significant snow fall here in the Boston area tomorrow.  I went out to gas up and check out the snow throwers to ensure they'd be ready.  I attempted to move the MTD and she wouldn't roll . ..  felt like it's stuck in gear even though there is no neutral.  The machine is twelve months old, only been used a couple of times.

I did start the machine.  There is no drive motion even when the drive lever is depressed.

I've got the main access cover off the bottom.  Can't see anything out of order but am not familiar with these machines.

Thanks for any suggestions.
