Rear wheel locks when turning

[Cody Macy]

I have a Honda Commercial mower, and the rear right wheel locks up when I turn it to the right. The mower pulls backwards fine, no wheel lock, and it turns to the left fine as well. Im guessing its maybe something to do with pawls or bearings in the wheels but would love some advice before I take it apart. Cheers

That's what you will need to do...take it apart and the issue should reveal itself.

You're on the right track Cody. Most likely it's the pawl. They break and lock up the wheel.

And if you don't fix it, it will irritate your foot and give you a 'pawl bunion'.
