Drive Belt
The drive belt is the primary mechanical link between the engine's drive pulley and the transaxles. If the belt suffers from tensile cord failure or excessive glazing from slipping, it will snap or jump off the pulleys, resulting in a total loss of torque transfer. Without this rotational input, the hydrostatic pumps cannot generate the hydraulic flow necessary to rotate the wheel motors.

Drive Idler Pulley
The idler pulley maintains the required friction between the belt and the transaxle pulleys via a torsion spring. If the internal ball bearings of the idler pulley seize or the plastic sheath deforms, it creates excessive drag or allows the belt to go slack. This loss of tension prevents the belt from gripping the drive pulleys, causing the mower to remain stationary regardless of control lever position.

Hydrostatic Bypass Rod Linkage
These rods are located at the rear of the machine and are designed to allow the mower to be moved manually by opening the hydraulic circuit. If these rods are accidentally pulled out and locked, or if the internal linkage has jammed in the 'open' position, hydraulic fluid will circulate internally within the pump rather than being directed to the drive pistons, resulting in zero wheel torque.
