Craftsman Riding Mower Won't Go

[Michael Redman]

[Not sure if this is the correct group to post this. If not...suggestions?]

We have an older riding mower: Craftsman II I/C Gold 12.5 Hp B&S. It won't go.

Motor starts, blade engages, but no power to the wheels. I've looked around
the web & googled ngs but either I can't figure out the correct keywords or
no one talks about this.

If it's something relatively simple, I'd like to fix it myself rather than
taking it in and paying a lot of extra for someone else to do so.

Tips, headers, suggestions?

Yeah. Nothing like posting to usenet to make one feel stupid. I didn't see
that belt when I was looking under the mower and thought there must be some
other type of linkage. But then, looking further up into the underside, and
moving the snake that decided to hang out there aside, there it was, and
yes, it was off the pulley.

Thanks.

Gotta love those easy/cheap repairs too.
