HST goes backward, but not forward

[aroostooksteve]

hi - I have a Mahindra 2816 HST. Runs fine. I was bush hogging a field and was backing up around a fence post. I noticed something on the ground and tried to go forward, but nothing happened. The pedal goes to the floor. The solenoid seems to be working fine. It goes in reverse with no issues. I just can't go forward. Any suggestions on what to check, how to fix?

Thanks!

Have you inspected the pedal linkage to see if anything got disconnected, bent or broken?

Everything I see looks normal and OK

That tractor has separate pedals for forward and reverse, right? Sounds like something slipped loose on the forward pedal. Check the pedal linkage.

Try changing gear ranges, and also shift to 4WD. No experience to say it'll work, but worth a 10 second try.

Thanks I will try all of these. I have a single rocker pedal. I push down with my toes to go forward and my heal to reverse. I checked the solenoid and it is moving with the pedal.
