Out of the blue yesterday, I started to have problems with self propelled on this mower. I checked the driven key and gears on the wheel and all seems well there It seemed like the handle that I pull to engage the drive had little or no spring back when I let go of the handle. Then the unit stopped driving while cutting at all. At one time when I lifted the rear wheels they did turn weakly, but as soon as I dropped it to the ground they quit.
This is a HRB215K4SDA. Serial MZB-6403695 KK It is a 3 speed, I pulled the trans and opened it up and found some brass shavings from the brass gear on the internal input shaft that meshes with the verrtical input shaft that the pulley attaches to and belt turns. The sump/case was almost completely dry..no oil or grease to speak of There was also a plastic disc/spacer that was on top of the gear that was chewed up..looked like it had friction and or heat damage to it.
I am assuming that the transmission is bad and would like to get the part to fix it, although I thought I would see a lot more shavings and damge to the gear than I did. Does anyone have a line on where I can get internal parts? Looked on internet and called a HONDA dealer they are saying on internal parts. I would assume this must be a Dana Spicer of a Tudd Torq etc. and I maybe able to get parts some where.
I am assuming that the trans is bad based on the damage to the teeth on this brass gear.. If there is anything else I should have checked or could still check let me know.
Another question I have besides trying to get parts..What lube should I used..it seemed like it was an oil residue that was in the sump not dried grease. 90 weighth gear oil?
Would appreciate any and all input.
thanks
