    Ok, so when all else fails I come to TW for assistance lol...even when it comes to my lawn mower. Having said that, I have a damn Craftsman riding mower, 2007 is the year. 6 speed transaxle. Will only go reverse, but not forward, any idea why. First pulled it out of garage and it did just fine. Shut it off, hosed it down and washed it, then bamm..wont go forward. Please help

    PS: I do realize that ive posted this in 2 other off topic forums. I dont mean to clutter the forums up or anything, just unsure as to where to put this problem...

    Probably just a belt slipping, let it dry.

    Hmm, alright. Guess Ill let it dry till the morning. Its pretty cold out right now, probably in the vicinity of 25 or so. Could freezing pose any negative risk to it?

    Don't know anything about them but it would stand to reason that if it worked before you washed it, something got wet. Unless you have massive bad karma right now, it will likely dry out and be fine. Go have a beer and give the mower some time to work it's own issues out. Report back in the morning.:D

    Hmmm, probably not gonna help things dry out, but I doubt it's doing any additional harm.
