I have a LA 175 lawn tractor. When mowing the yard I noticed the rear tire was flat. I disengaged the mower and drove the tractor into the garage, removed the tire, installed a new tube, mounted the tire and wheel assembly and finally started the tractor. When I engaged the transmission to move forward there was no movement in forward or reverse and to top that when the tractor is running if I engage the mower the tractor immediately shuts down. I disconnected the belt that controls the deck blades, yet the engine continues to die when the switch is employed. Initially the problem was a flat tire and suddenly grown to numerous mechanical issues. Frustrated....any help would greatly be appreciated.

Take the tire back off , look around and see if there are any electric connectors or switches in the fender opening that you may have moved or touched.

Good luck.

If that square key is missing from the axle/wheel the tractor will not move in either direction. Especially in a tractor without a rear locker. It's just like being stuck in snow or mud. One wheel spins & the other rear wheel does nothing.
