Repairs Lawn Boy gold series 10655 2004

[Chet]

Hi Folks,
I have a 2004 Lawn Boy Gold Series model 10655. When I push the personal pace handle ahead it won't go. But when I lift the rear wheels off of the ground and push the handle the wheels turn. I don't have any diagrams in my owners manuals or troubleshooting suggestions and I want to repair it my self. It has a 5 1/2 hp Honda engine. Is this an easy fix?
Thanks,
Chet

Are the wheels gear driven, or does it have the rollers above the rear wheels? Not familiar with the newer ones at all, but could be worn parts or something slipping under weight. Just guessing.

If the wheels turn without a load, it is likely in the belt area. I believe the engine pulley has a set screw under the belt. Check that first.

Good answers, but how did you make out, Chet ???
