Mower will not go into gear?

My Craftsman riding mower will not go into gear ( manual transmission). I've tried putting it in every gear, it just sits there. The gears were working fine when I parked it last fall. I had to fix a flat tire that was off the rim, and put in a new battery. Other than that I haven't done anything to it.

Was the tire repair a rear tire? If so, it is likey the keyslipped out and the axel is turning inside your wheel. Easy check- remove the little hubcap, start your tractor, put it in gear and watch- or have some one watch if the axel is turning inside the wheel. Easy fix is to remove the clip again and insert a new key when the grooves are lined up. If you have input to the transaxel and both wheel keys are still in place- your issue is internal and relativelyt costly. Good luck.
