Hi all,
I purchased the Honda HRN216VKA Walk Behind with the Smart Drive at the begging of this season. My old toro had finally pooped out and I thought It would be a nice upgrade to get that Smart Drive, shaved an hour off of my mow time. But yesterday when I was mowing, the Smart Drive Control got tight and some smoke started to come out from underneath the deck. Then the Smart Drive Control got very lose and the Smart Drive stopped working. When I flipped it over the drive belt was completely shredded. I have replaced a drive belt before, but I have never seen one get shredded like that. Is this something that happens? I have only used it a few times. Maybe 4 or 5. Is this something that can be fixed by just replacing the belt or this there something wrong with the machine itself?
Thanks for any help!
