I replaced both bearings and the spur gears and it seems to have improved the performance. I have only used the mower once so time will tell. Thanks

Thanks. Part isn't expensive. I am going to order two of those plus the two spur gears. Total cost around $30. If it doesn't work I will convert it to a push mower.

Is the shaft bearing you are referring to the picture I posted on this thread earlier? (reply #5 on page 1)

Thank you.

In regards to the drive shaft bearing, if it is worn, is that the reason the front right wheel isn't turning when the self-propelled lever is depressed? Thanks

Thank you. I will look into it.

Attached are a picture of the Spur Gears from my Lawn Mower. I also included a picture of a new spur gear. I think the gears from my mower look fine. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Is this the part you are referring to? Thanks

The belt is in good shape. The left wheel propels great. I took off the spur gear yesterday and it looks okay. I'll post a picture later to get your opinion. Thank you for replying.

Hi, I have a Troy-Bilt Walk Behind Lawn mower that is self-propelled, front wheel drive. Recently the right front wheel doens't seem to be self-propelling. If I lift the front end up it will spin but when it's on the ground doesn't. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks Model No...

Thanks

I'll try the liquid wrench. I don't have a torch or any other heating device. Would holding the drive shaft with a pipe wrench work, to keep it from turning? Thank you.

Troy-Bilt Self-Propelled Walk Behind Lawn mower Model #: 12AEA29L011 Model: TB210 Hello, I needed to remove the screw that holds the spur gear on the drive shaft of my lawnmower, but I have not been able to. The mower is almost 14 years old, and the screws seem it's like they're welded on. I...

I took the plastic cover off the front end of the lawnmower where the front wheel drive is located. Can I turn the mower on without the cover on to see what is going on with wheel issue? Thanks

Not sure what to do with that?

Hi, I currently own a Troy-Bilt Self Propelled Lawnmower, model #12AEA29L011, which is 13 years old. Yesterday the front left wheel stopped turning with the self propelled mechanism. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Overall, the mower works great. Thanks

I'm in the market for new wheels for my Troy-Bilt SP Lawnmower. I can get the parts on eBay cheaper than from Troy-Bilt. The eBay seller says they are EOM. Does anyone know if they are as durable as the parts Troy-Bilt sells? Thanks

Not yet. Will take a look at it this week. Thank you.

I haven't taken the cover off yet, but I was just checking the Blade Control and Drive Control levers and when I squeeze the Blade Control lever the tension is tight, when I squeeze the lever for the Drive Control, it has a lot less tension. The belt was recently replaced and it was actually...

I will look into it. Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Ratchets are fine. Wheels are relatively new. I will check if the belt is slipping. Thank you.

I posted some pictures. The first picture includes the Drive Control (black color), the second picture is the front of the mower and I included the bottom of the mower as well. The cable for the drive control seems very loose. Maybe it's supposed to be that way. Thanks you.

I will look into it. Thanks

It's a new belt. Is there a way that when I set the self-propelled lever that it tightens the belt a little more? Thank you.

My Troy-Bilt self-propelled lawnmower doesn't seem to self propel like it used to. I recently changed the drive belt and that helped a little. When I am cutting the grass and make a turn I always lift the front of the lawnmower. Sometimes after I place the mower back on the grass the wheels...

Hi, the Fuel Tank Hose became detached from the fuel tank. How can I reattach the hose to the tank? I have attached a stock photo of the fuel tank. The hose that became unattached is the green colored hose. This tank was replaced 2 years ago and the trimmer has hardly been used. Thanks

Hi I finally tried using my lawnmower after having replaced the belt. It seems to work well on low grass, but when I try cutting the front yard, which has carpet grass, it seems like it doesn't work as well. It will seem to work and then when I make a 90 degree turn and lift the front of the...

I did as you suggested and worked just fine. Lawnmower feels lighter. Thanks again

Thank you.

The manual only explains how to replace the battery. I want to completely eliminate the battery and housing. I don't use the electric start and the battery is over 10 years old. Thanks

My Troy-Bilt lawnmower is 10+ years old and the battery gave out years ago, and really don't use the electric starter. I want to remove the battery and the housing it's in. Do I just remove it or are there some precautions I should take? Thanks PS: Model is a TB210.

You're very welcome.

I just changed the belt. It was very easy. Removing and replace all the screws took the most time. I took my time and didn't use any power tools and it took me around 30 minutes. I haven't used it to cut the grass yet, but when I turned it on and put it in the propel gear to took off like a race...

Thank you for your comments. Greatly appreciated.

Thank you for you assistance. Have a great day!

Hi, my Troy-Bilt (TB21) Gas Trimmer requires 2-Cycle Oil and the owner's manual of course recommends their Troy-Bilt brand. I can't find it at my local store. Can I use any quality brand of 2-cycle oil instead? There are conventional and also synthetic oil types. Does it matter what type I use...

Thank you very much.

I will check it out. Are they difficult to replace? I am willing to tackle just about anything.

Hi, My Troy-Bilt Self Propelled Lawnmower, model #12AEA29L011, seems to me like it's not what it used to be. The mower is 10.5 years old. Engine seems to be in great shape. I have a very thick yard, (carpet grass). When I am cutting my yard and making a 90 degree turn I lift the front end of the...

I have carpet grass and it really thick. My lawnmower's wheel's spin on the grass when I am cutting it. If I lift the back of the mower a little it will get more front wheel traction. Is there anything I can do to get my lawnmower to get more traction on the grass? Lawnmower is 9 years old, but...

Hi, I just purchased a Pivotrim for my TB Trimmer and I am not sure how to remove my old trimmer head. The model number for my Trimmer is TB21 EC (Troy Bilt 27cc). Your help is appreciated. Thanks Eddie
