Reverse pedal solid
 

Hi:

This is only a year old XT1-LT50 hardly used. My reverse pedal suddenly locked up. It will not move down at all. It is solid.

I can drive forward as normal, just cannot reverse. I have dropped the deck and there is a flat plate under the tractor. I need to remove to follow the linkage back. There is a large bolt in the center I guess I shall have to remove. Any instructions or advice someone can offer?

Isn't this under the OEM Warranty ??

:bigthink:

I just ran into what may be the same situation. I have an XT2 LX42 that has performed flawlessly right up until I started plowing thru thick leaves and thick clouds of dust and dirt. That’s when my reverse started to be limited then to the point of barely engaging. As you stated, the pedal felt solid..like it couldn’t move in full travel. I lowered the deck and took my compressor air nozzle to the underside. HUGE clouds of dirt, leaves, and I hate to think of what else came billowing out! I kept blasting as I moved the pedals up and down and more crap kept coming out. Finally, viola!!! Reverse pedal would move all the way down. Fired it up and reversed like it was brand new!!

I hope this also your issue and the fix is just as easy.
