Snapper LX170H Hydro transmission
The transmission on this mower locked up during use and actually stalled the engine. Pulling the neutral release lever does not make any difference, and I am not sure that it is even operating.
After this happened once, I was trying to locate the problem and it somehow released. I began mowing again and about 15 minutes later it locked and stalled the engine again. This time, I have not been able to get it released.

The brakes are loose and the Neutral release on the hydro pump is working, but the tranny is still locked up. I suspect this is the end of this machine. I have used it six years after its original owner replaced it with a new one.

Yep, I'd be thinking the bearings on the input shaft fell out of place or a piece of something got stuck between the gears.
