HONDA HRX476 Drive Stopped Working Here Is A How To Fix Nice And Easy  

Hello Mick, Just wanted to give you a big Thank You . This video probably saved me hundred of pounds. Why? Because the roller on my HRX 476 stopped working. The chain was hanging down. Not having a clue what caused it nor having the confidence or knowledge to fix it, I found your video about this! It gave me the confidence to have a look. I did, and found that the tensioner spring had become dislodged. After removing all the grass caught up around the chain & tensioner, I lubricated the chain, reattached it back onto the cogs and re-fitted the spring using your method of a pull cord. Fantastic tip. Started up mower and all working fine Had I put the mower into a repairer I could have been charged a fortune if they were unscrupulous, or at best £80 to fix & clean it up . So, want to send you some money - if you don't want to accept then take it and give it to charity. Either way you saved me some serious money. Let me know how to do this. (Not that familiar with using RU-vid) Regards, Michael B

Awesome video. Much head and heartache from a broken mower! Nothing better than getting stuck in a having a go yourself. These videos are absolutely priceless for people like me. Many thanks! Little tip, if you don't mind a bit more noise - fit a solid blade without the vents. I found that it creates much more lift. Sucks and chucks wet grass right to the back of the box! Hope that might help someone!

Riley is the man. He’s always so happy 😁 Some great tips in this video. A customer brought an all wheel drive Husqvarna mower over for repair yesterday. It wouldn’t roll in reverse. Also brought a new blade and air filter, about $35.00. Rear axle and transmission were jam packed with grass. Some with the front. Enough to fill a plastic shopping bag. Took over an hour to clear it out. Also needed a new drive wheel, that was a big issue, too, as two of the screws holding the drive gear on the wheel had backed out due to the mounting holes splitting. The total bill for repairs, with an oil change, was $140.00, They thought it was too much and gave me the mower in lieu of a bill. An hour later a buddy of mine saw them buying a new one, just over $500.00. Go figure. It must be nice , at least they are lubing up the economy!

Riley boy has a great dad!

Very useful, I had exactly the same issue with my mower. This saved much messing about,thanks Mick

Thanks, this really helped me fix my mower! Same model but a few years older, the drive belt had slipped off. Would have taken me a hell of a lot longer without this video.

First off kudos to the amazing couple for donating the mail parcel for your amazing lad , and to see his smile is something money 💰 could never buy. Great to see you work on this type of mower. Your tips are amazing and will help a lot of people to get their mower back up and running 🏃‍♂️. I have a Mountfield 555 rv and I love it with it’s Honda 190 cc engine and heavyweight rear roller. My lawn is large but with this bad boy the job is a breeze especially for an old Scots reptile like me. Thank you for sharing your great video with us Sir 👍 Tam.

Spot on video buddy, my roller stopped working, googled it, your video came up, watched it, liked it, subscribed and now fixed my mower…..I didn’t have a roll pin but found a tight fitting split pin…..time will tell if he lasts. Cheers again buddy! Mike

I have a similar mower the Hrx478 (but with 4 wheels) so any vid on these helps because you take them to the mower shop and you can kiss between 1 and 2 hundred quid goodbye so thanks again Mick. The wife loved seeing Riley open his treats.

thanks Mick, excellent help and video, we inherited dads Honda lawnmower and found it great till it stopped moving forward, Found your You Tube videos and now know just what I need to repair it, wouldn't have had a clue with out your site, best regards Lum, Essex

Mick's Mowers! You tell 'em, Riley Boy! Nice work as always, Mick! God bless.

Nice little fix great how to as always. Riley boy is a ⭐️ Great follower sending goodies 👏

Mate fantastic this happened to my 476 today now l know its the rolling you've helped me out big time

Absolutely spot on,fantastic video,with unbelievable instructions,it was exactly the same problem with my mower,it was just a matter of fitting a new pin,and it's perfect, I am no mechanic but following all these instructions was so easy,I am in great admiration of this guy,once again thank you,top lad 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I got one of those mowers for free a couple of years ago, immaculate condition. Sold it on a Monday, didn’t need to work the rest of the week 😀👍🍺

Great Vid Mick, never seen the mechanicals on the roller drive before. Good seeing Riley Boy too!! Cheers!

Thank you for your excellent video. You've kept my rollers rolling and my lawn nice and trim. Many many thanks. Youtubing at its best.

Great tip on the roll pin I'll use that in the future thanks mick

Wow that seems to be a rather complicated machine. I bet the lawn looks great after it is mowed with this mower. Riley Boy is such a happy guy especially when he gets those chocolate eggs. He did great on the introduction. Thanks to your subscribers for their gifts. You guys stay safe and thanks for the videos.

Fantastic again my mate.very impressive. Keep the great content coming.👍🏻

It’s your tips that keep me coming back. The way you tear into that HRX leads one to conclude you’ve got the disassembly fairly well memorized! 🤔👍

Great stuff Mick - sorted my mower out this afternoon and saved my self a lot of money. Well done, extremely helpful video

Hello Mick. Good tips and great fix. I like the rear roller. We don't see those over here in the states. Lots of good things for Riley, he's a lucky boy

You've just made my morning even better. Thankyou

Great video. You always have great tips and tricks to share. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Omg! I was into sharks and dinosaurs as a child. Tons of toys and books. My father would tell Chris all these stories on how I use to name them all. She didn’t have a clue...nor did I think I could still retain some of that knowledge. We went a museum that had an exhibit and I was like a kid in a candy shop! That mower looks identical to the HRX217 versamow I just restyled respired that I featured on the channel. When I hit it big, gonna have you ship you one over. Would love to see the difference of a roller built in vs not! I have a special set of punches for roll pins. Called roll pin punches. See them all the time on Snowblower’s.

Great talking riley boy you are a little super star fantastic tip with the screwdriver Mick another great job 👍👍👍👍

Nice fix mick, well done!!!

Great vid mick as always, your so skilled just to have noticed that tiny pin was missing .great to see Riley boy happy as always, keep up the good work mate 👍

A great fix Mick. I paused you for five to order some roll pins. Reilly is a real credit to you all, a lovely young fella. Great channel Mick, the best on the interweb 👍🏼

Excellent as Usual Mick , love the tip pal

Nice work Mick.

Great fix mate and awesome tip

Had just this problem. Great trick to get the pin started. Then drifted in with a socket extension.

Well done mick nice little tip. 👍

Great video, many thanks for all the handy tips - guess what im doing later this week haha!

Top fix Mick, love the roll pin trick.

Nice tip mick. You made it look easier than it is! Roger

Great video really helpful cheers

Nice love the tip👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you should do a top ten tips video 😃

Thanks for this insight on how the mower comes apart. I was looking at it thinking what a nightmare, how on earth do I get to that. Thanks buddy

Thanks mate

Bless him

Hi Mick, good fix not a fan of those cheaper gearboxes Honda use on that range of mowers (I think they are made by general transmissions) , but this one is now good to go again, good video🙂👍

I do like honda's recently brought an izy for £20 off s scrapman cleaned the carb and it runs smooth.

4k subs, good lad 😍

Oh. Maybe I don't even need a new belt then? A tweak up might do it because it only slips with a heavy load or going uphill. Your video was very helpful for the disassembly. Thanks

Afternoon Mick,was watching one of your video when you said you can get throttle cable(solid) of eBay ..been looking but can't find it..what would it come under. Keep doing your video ,learning a lot ...thanks

Brilliant video thank you. Recently picked one of these up no drive. Drive belt was off but brand new and found no chain and importantly roll pin was missing lol. Looks like new gearbox fitted as well. Put belt on and gear to chain is now driving....just need to get a chain...on that, have you made a video showing a new chain being fitted....?

Thanks Mick. I have never seen that type of chain drive. I bet I will soon.

Do u ever do a shed tour mick

great video, thanks. I have a HRX 426C, drive not working. I'm guessing all the stuff in your video works for my mower as well.

Neat fix mate . A 20 minute one at least lol.

Hi Mick, great videos - been really helpful for me. One question - do you oil the drive chain? Mine looks dry and touch of surface rust but I am concerned oil only serve to create a grinding paste?

Hi Mick, enjoy your vids. What is the model of the impact driver you use? Thanks

Put the spring on upside down😛

Hi Mick, great video thank you. Quick question, i have the hrb 425, just took off the chain cover and noticed that its off the sprocket and on the shoulders of the tensioner and guide. Looks as though the alignment between the sprockets and the tensioner is off but I don't know why. Are there workshop manuals for honda mowers available to the general public?

Great job glad rileyboy got tohang out with dad on mail call

Where did you get your driver adapter from ?

I dabble in the odd machinery repair for friends . One of these mowers came to me today with " no drive" .Had a quick look tonight and chain and belt were off, so am guessing this roll pin has done a walkabout like yours and shaft has moved .Just wondering if there was a way of getting that roll pin to stay in, like some loctite seal of some kind .Maybe a small nut and bolt .seams like wear and tear and roll pin drops out. Great video and thanks .You may have saved me hours of looking and head scratching Mick .

Great Video. Mine is only suffering from the belt slipping with a full grass box. Is a new belt required or is there any adjustment to tighten it up?

Hi Mick, is the drive mechanism on the HRX 476 similar to the HRX 426 (with the rear steel roller)? I bought an HRX 426 recently and the drive is very weak. I suspect the drive belt is either loose or needs replacing, but being unable to find any info on this specific model, (only on the 4 wheel version which is quite different) I'm unsure how to to tackle it. When I engage the drive bar, the drive chain rotates as it should, (as seen through the gap where the blade height adjuster handle sits) but the mower needs a push to get it moving. It won't propel itself from stationary.

mick,my pals got a hayter harrier notor mowe which is still working but viciosly kicks back when starting.been told its oil getting in by repair man and there is a lot of oil on plug,but could it be flywheel key,looking at it without removing flywheel it looks ok,your thoughts/bob

Bună! Hrx476 CSDE nu mai cuplează rotile de tracțiune. Rulmenții cu ace sunt stricați și semeringurile. Știți unde găsesc? Mulțumesc!

Great Vid Mick, my question to my mower Honda 476 starts to lose drive when its been run for 1/2 hour or so. Once cold its fine. Mower is aprox 9 years old. Do you think its the clutch or the drive belt. Thanks

Hiya mick.. after some advice if poss please mate... I’ve just fitted a brand new carb to my ryobi hedge cutter and it started fine at first for 5 mins then cut out and now not starting?? fitted new fuel filter.. Also are there meant to be fuel filters on both pipes?? Many thanks Glenn

Just wondering, what size roll pin did you use?

Hello mick I have the same problem with my Honda and could only find 1 jetway did you refit using 2 half moon key ways cheers mate

Iv got same problem but the spring pin has broken off inside the shaft and it won’t budge any ideas?

Morning Mick, do you have any honda grass bags suitable for a hrb425c for sale?

You didn't show how to hammer home the roll pin? Is it with a punch? Thanks

would you happen to know size of roll pin,I,m sure weve got same problem,Bob UK

Hi Mick, could this also be the cause of the drivebelt popping off?

Tried replacing the pull cord but can't get the 3 nuts off as two are spinning can you advise honda izy 416

Hello Mick I have a problem with my HRX 426 when I put the lever to the Stop position my Lawnmower keeps running. If you can help me on this, I would be so grateful. Thanks John 👍

Is that an older Honda mower mick?
