I have a Craftsman lawn tractor. It is an 18hp with a hydro trans. The other day I used a floor jack to lift the rear end to remove a rear wheel. After having a tube put in the wheel and reinstalling it, I lowered the tractor. When I went to move it I have NO tranny. It starts fine and the deck engages but the tranny will not . Not forward or back. I drove it up to the drive way and it drove fine, an hour later....NADA!!! There bis a lever to engage and disengage the tranny for free wheeling...tried it both in and out...still NADA. Did I do something that Effed up the tranny? Are you not supposed to jack these things up? This is what happens when a carpenter plays mechanic!

Any suggestions will help.
Thanks.
