Not sure what year it is because my grandma gave it to me. It has a briggs and stratton 19hp motor on it and has 6 speeds.
THE PROBLEM: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears are jerky. like its slipping then it catches and jerks you then it starts to move. You have to pull the left pedal or clutch I guess its called all the way back to try to get it to engage. Im not familiar with the operation of these rising lawn mower. But when I increase the gears i increase speed but when I give it more throttle (rpms goes up) but i don't go any faster. the 4,5,6 gears seem to catch pretty good and keeps the mower running.
I inspected the drive belt and when the left pedal is pulled back the pulley (above the rear transmission) and belt seem to be catching good I dont see much slippage.
What else can I check? Im thinking about tearin the transmission apart and examining in there. need some advice
