I don't know exactly what model you have. But, generally the brake is on the transaxle (rearend) just inside the right rear wheel. There is a rod with a spring going to an arm there. This arm rotates and pushes two small pin against a plate the comes out of the transaxle to stop it. Many times these small pins get corroded. They are metal and the transaxles and usually aluminum. You will have to take them out and sand the corrosion of, lubricate them and reinstall them. It's not a hard job. It just takes a half hour or so. I ran a riding mower for months with no brakes because I couldn't figure it out.
Mine moved too far down and will not release. Any ideas
?
first thing take the mower to the dump. secondly, push mower into the dump. third, leave the mower there.
Can I do it myself, set the timing on my riding mower.
Normally you will find three safety switches on a Huskee riding mower. There is one for the clutch/brake pedal. There is another one for the deck lever and the main one that causes problems under the seat.
Disengage blades, push down and/or lock it and turn the key. If nothing happens, the most common parts for failure are the key switch and the solenoid.
Have not seen picture of belt for troybilt riding mower(deck ) my problem is when I disengage blades,it does not have enough slack and blades keep turning
Most riding mowers have three or four safety switches. One for the seat, one for the clutch/brake pedal and one for the deck height lever. If the mower has a deck engaging lever there is one for that too.

If the tires are moving in opposite directions when you try to move the mower there is one of two things happening. Either the mower is stuck in gear or the brake is hanging. The more common is that the brake is hanging. If you can, have someone on the mower with it NOT running. Have them press down the brake pedal while you are watching under the mower and on the rear axle. There is a rod that goes to the brake assembly. The rod is pushing the brake linkage. Usually the bracket is stuck. You can pull it back forward and the brake will release. If it happens frequently you will need to lubricate the linkage without getting any lubrication on the brake discs themselves.
