Hello,

I inherited this riding lawn mower-and after putting in a fresh battery and filter the engine starts fine and runs great; however, I cannot get it to go forwards or backwards and the parking break handle refuses to budge. I've tried pressing the break down and also pushing the throttle up to max to see if that would help the parking break to relwase-no dice. What are my options to check next? Thanks.
