when its full it tries to aggitate but just hums for a couple seconds and shuts down. It still spins although not real well. I tried spinning the belt and pully from the bottom, and it will turn counter clockwise fine. it will turn approx. half turn clockwise before it locks up. Is this a transmission problem. come anyone help me with this. I have searched everywhere for a diagnoses and can't find an answer.

Phil,

Here's a better explanation and way to test the transmission.

Remove the drive belt, and perform the transmission drive pulley test,

When the drive pulley rotates CLOCKWISE, the upper and lower cams are
designed to nest together which allows the drive pulley to remain in position on the drive shaft. The break remains engaged and the drive pulley will turn the lower cam and drive the shaft to cause the transmission
to agitate.

When the drive pulley rotates COUNTERCLOCKWISE, the upper cam and pulley
ride up the lower cam approximately 3/16 of an inch before the driving shoulders on the pulley hub engage the "dogs" on the lower cam.
This causes the top of the pulley hub to push against the spacer which compresses the brake spring and lifts the brake rotor and lining assembly off the brake stator. The brake is disengaged and the pulley will turn the lower cam and drive shaft to cause the transmission
to spin.

:) :) :)
