what is disconnect asm rod bypas
i just bought a craftsman mower from a relative and there is a part that goes to the mower laying on the back porch. while looking it up in the parts book it is called a disconnect asm rod bypas lth. my question is what is it for because i have mowed the yard without having this part in the mower and i would like to know if it is important and what the purpose of it is thanks.

Well, without knowing your model number or what kind of mower you have I will give my best guess. This is assuming you have a hydrostatic tractor style riding mower. If you have a walk behind or zero turn, nevermind.
It goes through a hole in the back plate between the rear wheels and connects to a spring that connects to a bypass valve in the hydrostatic transmission so that you can roll it.

lol now i think about it i probably looked like an idiot out there i kept putting it in neutral and it would not move i was trying like hell to push it. i finally got in my truck and hooked a ratchet strap to the mower and my truck and gave it a little pull lol it was high centered by like 2 inches. but thanks ill know this for next time.
