Transmission or seized wheel on my Cub LTX1050
My LTX1050 makes an awful going sound and the pedal vibrates when I put it in gear(forward or reverse) but it does not move. It has been parked for a month waiting for a new deck, and started right up,but won’t move. I pulled the transmission release rod behind the seat, and was able to push it, but soon realized that the back right wheel isn’t turning..if this wheel is rusted or otherwise locked, will it affect the transmission? Is there a way to tell if it’s the wheel or the transmission? Now I have a new $600 deck for a mower that won’t move! Thanks in advance.

might be that the brake is stuck ? jack it up and look it over ... belt slipping could make the pedal shake ?

I jacked it up and it’s only the right rear wheel that won’t turn. I’ve been trying to remove the wheel to check the brakes but it won’t budge. Should I buy a wheel puller? Is it safe to use the mower lift to lift it by the rear wheels or only the front wheels?

During the time it was sitting. Was the parking brake set?

In my profession that's called a clue... Start there...A little heat and tap with a hammer may break free any rust that may have it seized to the axle....If that is the issue.... |

The linkage on these tractors is known for getting stuck. Follow the pedal linkage and see where it is stuck. Then lube it and free it up |
The brake on this is not directly behind the wheel and not what is keeping the wheel from coming off.
Exactly.... |
