Check to see if the drive belt has snapped or come off the pulleys?

SOURCE: craftsman gt 3000 will not drive.

Hi there, On the Craftsman 3000 there is a pin on the back end of the mower that when pulled outward disengages the transmission so it can be moved without it running. Sometimes this pin will stick. It is connected to a lever on the transmission try to push and pull the pin in and out a few times to see if it will free and engage again. You might have to reach under where the lever is connected to the pin rod and try to move it back into position that way. DO NOT REACH IN TO THE TRANSMISSION AREA WITH THE MOWER RUNNING!!! But the pin must be pushed inward for ingagement. This pin will let the mower just sit there like its in nutral and not go anywhere. Try it!!

Craftman lawn tractor 20.0 HP 42" electric start blades will not engage

Check for voltage at the electric pto clutch connector if 12 +volts is there when the switch is on then the clutch is bad; otherwise, you need back through the wiring to find the problem.
