    Thanks for the video, which I just followed in order to replace the Drive Cable - all steps similar to your video except replacing the Drive Cable rather than the Shift Cable. Everything is apart & labeled and I ordered both cables - the mower is 15 years old.Only concern I have in putting it back together is re-attaching that heavy duty spring.

    So how’d you take the lower cover off? Video doesn’t mention how to remove the bolt holding cover to metal bracket..

  • @patricialimberakis3648

    Also, does anyone have the right part number to the belt? My lawnmower is HRX217TDA if that helps

  • @patricialimberakis3648

    The spring on the transmission came off all the way. How do you put this on correctly?

    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.

    @Sheltongreen79 Před 2 měsíci

    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.

  • @loopsparkyx2348
    @loopsparkyx2348 Před 2 měsíci

    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.

    • @johnd.5480
      @johnd.5480 Před 12 dny

      It Is easy on some models. But I don't see how it's possible on the HRX217 TDA. Does your mower have the TDA suffix?....Very different from other Hrx 217 suffix models. On the TDA, the shrouds block everyrhing.

    • @jonathangribble7766
      @jonathangribble7766 Před 6 dny

      You are right although I don’t know about other models. Mine is the HRX 537. I ended up removing the near side back wheel although it’s not vital to do so. I threaded cable in through top hole on deck and poked the end to be attached over its location, I then looped some thread around the end of the bit that attaches on the lever and then shaped a piece of wire with a hook on it and pulled the cable towards me until it lined up with the lever and it all just fell into place. It did initially take 3 hours by trial and error and lots of yelling and thinking but it works in this model. The youtube vids show you but you have to remove so much which isn’t needed on this model

  • @conservatorcivilus

    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. 🤪

  • @cwytonweb
    @cwytonweb Před 2 měsíci

    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.

  • @-rudy-
    @-rudy- Před 2 měsíci

    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.

I can't find anything related to shop/service manual, only owners manual...
