Kohler: 1998 craftsman 19.5 turbo cooled won’t go forward or reverse

Please help my mower will not move, it’s a 1998 craftsmen 42in. It stays in neutral. I have done some checking and it has both keys in the drive tires. However, after removing the back plate and looking over the drive belt is good the only thing i noticed is there is a rod on the right side that when pushed the wheels move. I did some further digging and on the shifter there is a spring that is freely there and I assume it’s the issue except I cannot seem to find where it belongs?

Kohler: Cub cadet xt2 will not start

Every time I try to start it the engine turns over once or twice then nothing happens. I have tried a new battery and starter. I have also bypassed the solenoid and made sure there was a good ground but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Kohler: Retrofitting Briggs With Kohler Engine

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 09:07:08 -0700

I am retrofitting my old garden tractor with a new 7000 series Kohler engine (KT715-3047). I have two questions.

Looking at the wiring diagrams I am stumped as to where the orange lead goes. The wire marked S on the engine connector has two orange wires that double back onto each other and attach to the same connector pin on the Kohler connector. I have no idea what tractor wire this pin is supposed to connect to.

Also I have a three prong starter solenoid (2 posts/1 tang). I have a Kohler engine lead tabled to to attach directly to the solenoid. Do I need a 4 prong solenoid (2 posts/2 tangs) or can I slice the blue lead into the existing solenoid tang.

Kohler: Transmission /hydro static not engaging.

Cubcadet LTX1045 . Transmission will not go forward or reverse .

The lever in the back that you pull in order to push the mower. Doesn't matter if it's pulled or not I can still push it. So I checked and it's hooked up and the other linkage is all in place. Drive belt is almost new.
