Hi I am wondering about my Viking MT 423
My mower works fine in reverse but it will not move in any forward gears only nudges a bit on the spot, what could this be? I haven’t had any experience in ride on mowers so any advice will be appreciated

Hi Nickj89,

If it is a peerless type then I would be looking at replacing the selector keys.

Thank you, would you be able to tell me where to find the selector keys and what to look for?

Tell us the transmisson brand and model and we will see if we have a parts list to show you where they are.
