Hey Guys,
I have an older Poulan 38" cut with 14.5HP B&S motor that runs great but transmission is stuck in 3rd.....no reverse
Someone just gave me a newer Poulan Pro 42" cut with 18HP B&S motor with auto trans. The motor is froze(he said ran with no oil), but everything else works fine.....including the transmission. When I went to pick it up, I noticed the rear wheels would not turn while the shift was in neutral. I messed with it just a few minutes and could not get them to turn. I'm wondering if maybe the motor is not froze, but possibly the transmission locked up causing the engine to shut down and appear froze. Is that possible?
So, if it is not the transmission , will it be a bolt on replacement to replace the 18HP with my 14.5? The two chassis at first glance looks identical.
