I posted about this problem before but have carried on using the mower after all I am not going to be able to sell it with a bad transaxle, I would just have to scrap it.
Interesting thing happened it will normally cut grass for about 20 minutes before it stops pulling the last time I used it the fan from the top of the transaxle fell off I will post a picture if I can remember how I am at a loss as to how it broke off. I bought a new fan only because its supposed to be there I just got it in the mail and will put it on later today I have checked and there doesn't appear to be anything that it could have rubbed on but one of the blades looks like something rubbed on it but that might have happened when it broke of any suggestions??
Incidentially I did check and make sure the disc brake on the transaxle was releasing as suggested in a post from about a year ago.
