Have a 700 wire is loose or off the electric start doesnt charge . Dont need the electric start as it is running one pull everytime change plug every year
Just what I was looking for… replacing the piece of the shroud and bracket that controls the mulch/bag action.. parts are crazy expensive… about $80 for the required parts..excellent video!!
Thanks for the great video series. Just completed my transmission replacement using this series and it was spot on, the order is important and you were very detailed.
Very helpful video. I just went out and cleaned up my pinions and keys. Wheels now work great. Although, maybe it's just nomenclature, but my pinion flats face the front of the mower, not the back, which is what I think I heard.
For those who had a rusty pin on the mulch selector rod and can’t get it to budge, you can cut a slit with your knife in the plastic on one end and slip the cover over it.
I did this without removing any of these parts. None. Intelligence and fine motor skills. If you have this problem, look closely at it for a while. You'll figure it out.
For the love of Pete, the wind chimes are giving me seizers. Cutting the engine two seconds after starting it tells me this failed. Thanks for the effort.
Makes no sense. All you did was disassemble and reassemble the rear wheel mechanisms without pointing to any reason why the wheels won’t go backwards. No cleaning, no lubing. 🤪
The Dog did not attack the man. It nipped at his pants because he turned away from it. Just an overly exited dog looking for attention. I understand that he turned away to shield the dog he picked up but that's why it happened. Never turn away from a barking dog if you can help it.
1:22 The 12mm bolt. Looking at mine, it didn't appear to be 12mm. 8mm? No, the socket just spins on it. Turns out whoever tried to fix this mower in the past broke the head of the 12mm bolt off. I think I should be able to use a punch and tap it out, but if things are rusty like they are on this HRX217 I'm repairing, it can be an issue. I'm glad I waited to order parts, as I'll need new bolt and retainer. It looks as though I may need to replace the hydrostatic transmission also--one of the keyways where the key and spring sit in the axle is wallowed out, and one of the axle spacers was holding the key in place, and cocked sideways. And beyond that, I don't even know if it works. Going to test it but I'm not hopeful.
My hero! 🤩 My belt broke on my little Sears Weedeater after years of use and now I can put on the new one@ I'll take the opportunity to clean up and see iv my blades need sharpening. They're fairly new but still. Thank you very much! Isabelle 👋🇨🇦
Thank you. I do have two questions: 1st: What if idle is low (lever on low), and mover dies? There must be an additional setting for minimum speed/idle? 2nd: Where did you find the book to download with all the instructions? I can't find anything related to shop/service manual, only owners manual...
Es normal que gire el cabezal sin acelerar?, ya cambie todo el motor y el carburador por unos nuevos pero sigue igual 😑, por más que trato de calibrar las RPM pero no se puede, si bajo demasiado las rpm en baja se apaga por completo la máquina, y aunque mueva el tornillo del relenti tampoco nada, no se si sea normal eso, no deberia
Thanks for the video! Carb cleaner is mostly acetone. Maybe you could save some $ if you just bay a gal of acetone. Don't get it on the mower deck's paint!
Remove the outer snap ring, drive gear, woodruff key and spring store these parts in plastic bag. Install wheel push and pull mower manually with ease. My yard is relatively flat and not worth the aggravating wheel lock up pulling mower rearward. I could use the exercise. 😮
At the 8:31 mark i cannot get that piece off the shaft. Very seized and I applied some wd40 to hopefully get it off. Really want to save this lawnmower
What is the part number for the spindle you replaced on the weed eater 38 inch mower deck I HAVE THE SAME EXCAT MOWER DECK I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH SPINDLES THANKS LACY
