LOL, I've never been a 'sports guy' and never played any sport growing up. I love the concept of golf, but was never able to play well enough to actually enjoy golf (plus it's so freaking expensive). I picked up a pickleball paddle after retiring and now I'm playing 10-15hrs a week! "Zero-Zero-Two!"
I just had to clean my mower, reverse totally quit working and then after pulling enough grass to fill a shoebox out from under the mower it now squeals the tires when I stomp on reverse in the driveway. I'm going to make cleaning the grass out a part of my routine every 6 mowings or so.
Glad I was able to save you a trip to the shop! My mower was getting slow in reverse again last week and I cleared an unbelievable amount of grass out and now the reverse is so strong the tires spin.
Seems like the procedures are similar just the "correct" way has you raise the mower which probably causes the fluid to move closer to the sump. It also looks like you have to drop the trans-axle to check the fluid. I have a craftsman T240 but it looks identical to yours so probably the same mower made by MDT.
Sorry for the late reply, missed the notification for your comment somehow. I can check level by removing battery, not great but better than removing transaxle.
Thanks for watching! Yea, maybe the grass clearing would have fixed some or most of the slow reverse problem. I wanted to be sure I had it 100% fixed and I wanted to show all the steps that might be necessary for others as well.
Would have been very useful if you were easily understood, at times seemed you were too far away from the mike, especially when jiggling the switch on the transaxle
Yea, I have a wireless microphone that I use with my iPhone to make videos and sometimes the wireless mic quits working and the phone switches to it's built in microphone. I tried recharging and re-pairing the wireless microphone many times and eventually had to buy a new microphone.
