Murray Lawn tractor wont go into gear
 

It started when I went to cut the grass. I put it into gear and
started to roll, and low and behold one of the tires was flat .

I put the rear of the tractor on a railroad tye to hold it up while I
removed the tire.
I then brought the tire to have a tube put in it.The next day I picked
up the tire and brought it home and put it back on the tractor and
removed the railroad tye.
I then started it up and put it into gear forwards nothing rear
nothing...
What gives ?


Thanks

If the wheel is like the one on my old Craftsman tractor, it is coupled
to the axle by a locking "pin". This is a 2" long piece of steel,
3/16" on the other two dimensions. It fits into a groove on the axle
and in the wheel. Look around on the floor and hopefully you'll find
it. I went through exactly the same scenario in the Spring!
