Why wont my Murray 42 inch lawn tractor move it starts and runs but move?

There are a few possible reasons why your Murray 42-inch lawn tractor won't move, even though it starts and runs. Here are a few things to check:

1. Transmission: Check the transmission fluid level and condition. If the fluid level is low, add the recommended type of fluid. If the fluid is dirty or has a burnt odor, it may need to be replaced.

2. Drive Belt: Inspect the drive belt for any signs of wear, damage, or misalignment. If the belt is worn or damaged, it will need to be replaced. Make sure the belt is properly routed and tensioned according to the manufacturer's specifications.

3. Brake: Check the brake system to make sure it is not engaged or malfunctioning. If the brake is engaged, release it. If the brake is malfunctioning, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

4. Wheels and Tires: Make sure the wheels and tires are properly inflated and in good condition. If the tires are worn or flat, they may not be able to provide enough traction to move the lawn tractor.

5. Clutch: Check the clutch system to make sure it is engaging properly. If the clutch is not engaging, it may need to be adjusted or repaired.

6. Electrical Connections: Check all electrical connections to make sure they are clean and secure. Loose or corroded connections can prevent the lawn tractor from moving.

If you have checked all of these things and the lawn tractor still won't move, you may need to take it to a qualified lawn mower repair shop for further diagnosis and repair.
