I Bought a Used Ransome Bobcat Walk Behind Mower That Won't Pull?
the mower it’s self is suppose to be a stand behind it barely moves even just trying to walk behind it you have to almost push it
it should pull with you standing on that little trick it will barely pull just simply walking behind it theres alot of pushing the mower required

Check the pulley on the engine shaft under the mower. There is a "variable speed" pulley that moves in or out depending on the tightness of the belt when adjusted by the speed adjustment lever (very similar to how a snowmobile clutch works). The spring may be worn or broken, or the brass sheath that covers the shaft is gooped up causing the pulley to be stuck open which would make it so the belt is not gripping.
To replace that pulley is about $125-150. (I found one on ebay for $128… part #38140)
If that pulley is fine, then I would say that you either have oil on the drive belt, or your drive belt needs to be tightened or replaced if it is stretched.
I have not had a gearbox go bad on one of these yet, so I do not believe that would be the problem.
needs to have pulley adjusted…new belt?
do you mean the rope wont pull –if so you ll have to replace the rope coil spring,,, if mower wont pull –belt broke,,,needs tighting ,,or gears in transmission are locked up,,
