My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Bolens wont stop or shift.

13 years ago

I have a Bolens by MTD 13ag683g163 20 hp . Engine went bad so I put in a used 21 hp briggs. I also put both new drive belts on since I had every thing off and up in air. Now it runs great but when I push the break it stop once and awhile but most the time it slows me to a craw and I try to put it in neutral it wont go it just jumps to reveres.

Do you think it would be because the belts are to tight or is there some thing wrong with the transmission? I did have a heck of a time getting the belts on. They were a off brand I got off ebay. I've mowed my yard 5 or 6 time hoping it was the belts and they would stretch but still doing it.
