Hi everyone. Just picked up a 1225 that i can push forward and backwards easily. Does that mean the transaxle is bad or could it be something else? Any thoughts?? Thanks. Joe

If you can push it easily with it in gear the first thing I would check is the belt and the tensioner. If the belt is good and the tensioner (clutch) is working and it rolls easily but not under power then it's likely there is a problem. Could be a sheared key or a bad axle not engaging the wheel.
