Got a craftsman lawn vac, model # 24A-07MP793 (or CMXGPAM241901) and the drive cable completely lost tension which meant the self propel feature stopped working like it should. I can pull on the drive cable with my hand to get rid of the slack and the self propel will engage but that’s not a long term solution. I took a look at the area where the transmission is housed on the rear axle and noticed gear fluid leaking so I figure something is going on inside the transmission.
I was able to get the rear wheels and bearings off on the rear axle, and popped the top cover to get to the drive belt + got the drive belt off of the pulley attached to the transmission, but I can’t figure out how to remove the transmission. The side casing of the lawn vac’s body is solid where the rear axle hole is on either side of the vac, so the axle can‘t just drop down. Since the axle doesn’t seem to want to slide left or right when I try to push it, I’m guessing the right and left sides of the axle on either side of the transmission probably pop out of the transmission housing somehow, but I’m really not sure.
Any ideas? I’ve found quite a few help articles/videos about repairing lawn-mower transmissions, but not for this particular law vac model. Thanks!
