    My Husqvarna developed a screeching, near deafening loud sounds that I could sometimes lessen by gently touching the brake pedal. I recorded the horrible sounds, went to and played it for my long time local mower/equipment shop guy. He said “could be this, could be that, it’ll take about a week or more to pull it all apart and get it back to you for a couple hundred but possibly more depending on what I find. I’m retired with a failing fixed income with an ever present subtle fear losing our home of 40 years in the not too distant years. I watched your post, cleaned out the compressed grass and presto, the horrible chattering sound has disappeared. I’m one very, very, very happy old guy. I’ll always look to you first for insights from now on. Thanks for what you bring to our world and I’ll share you freely with all. Butch McGuire at 81.

      I’m glad you found the video helpful! When I am doing DIY type things I usually have my camera going because it’s not that much harder to film the process. That way someone else can save a little bit of time or money by doing it themselves! Thank you for watching!

    I am surprised that more haven’t been posted about this issue. I was about ready to buy a new mower. I used an air compressor with a long tip. This allowed me to bust up the clumped grass and blow it clean. Thank You!

    Replaced the belts and still wouldn’t climb the slightest incline, was getting ready to take the transaxle out and replace the fluid, but I found your video and behold I removed a huge chunk of hardened grass clippings thanks to your help and now it flys up the steepest of hills!

    Finally!! Thanks for the video. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. I had just enough power each time to cut the grass but it was a struggle. I have tried a lot of stuff and was getting ready to change the drive belt when I found this video. 5 mins of cleaning and I was back up and running like it was new!

  • @timothymilam732

    If you'll use air hose to blow all the clippings off after every use, including raising the hood, and blowing fan, battery area. Down beside the rear of engine you'll find two openings, one at each corner, there is a round hole, this is the area where you cleaned out. Use air hose to blow down each opening couple times, alternating back and forth, this will prevent that from happening.
    Also try not to wash mower deck when it's just finished mowing, because this tends to kill the bearings in your idler pulleys' and spindles. Even if you wash it after it's cooled down, be sure to run it for few minutes to dry water off everything, are use air hose attachment to blow all pulleys and spindles off. Otherwise water sets on them, and will seep into sealed bearings washing grease out prematurely.
    These few things is what I've learned over the years, from my own mistakes in thinking I was doing the best I could to maintain my mowers. Only to figure out that I was doing more harm, by doing the things I was doing.
    Also on bigger decks, I add another wash attachment connection to the opposite side than the factory installed one, and this makes sure that entire under deck area is washed free of built up clippings.
    Hope this helps you, out, by learning from mistakes, and I made, and learning how to correctly do things, saving lots of headaches, and money needed other places .

      Yes !! I use my leaf blower, or my compressor with an extension on my air nozzle, it's about 16" long and does a GREAT job of keeping everything clean. It's much better for the machine for obvious reasons too ! I wash my tractor regularly just like I wash the cars and truck, I blow dry them too. Well worth the time ! Only takes a few minutes but makes a big difference, especially if/when I do have to work on it !

    Thank you so much! Had the same problem on a Craftsman mower made by Husqvarna. Changed the transaxle fluid and filter with no effect. Ordered a drive belt, then came across this video while waiting for it to arrive. I always use a leaf blower to clean the deck and mower after mowing, but had no idea that a clump of grass in could stop the machine from climbing a small hill. With the great editing and knowing exactly where to look, I found the clump of grass causing the problem in seconds and now it climbs like a billy goat. Thanks again!

    • @5MinuteFixit
      @5MinuteFixit  Před rokem

    While I was under my mower looking to see how the belt was run,, I saw the debris and cleared it out, had no idea that was the problem. Thankfully I saw your video before I began to make the repair. Reattached the deck and thing ran like a champ. Thanks for the video. Saved me a lot of work.

    THANK YOU!!! I actually pulled the transaxle and changed the oil in my Husqvarna lawn tractor because I was having the same issue and some posts said maybe the transaxle was low on oil or the oil had broken down. Well... it was a little low on oil so I took care of that with the new oil, but after I reassembled everything, the "go" was no better. Then I found your video and Ah Ha! I had the same issue with the clump of dirt and grass keeping the belt from tightening. 30 seconds later my mower drives like new. Thanks for taking the time to post this!

    This solved my problem. I had lost both forward and reverse. I removed the mower blade housing for better access to the nooks and crannies then used my air compressor to blow debris out. To my surprise forward and reverse worked great. Easy and zero cost.

      @@5MinuteFixit I have a 4-year-old Husqvarna YTA22V46 lawn tractor that has given me nothing but fits, especially with the so-called "automatic" transmission. These tractors are poorly designed and lots of debris accumulates in the back of the mower where the pullies for the drive belt and transmission belt are located. To clean, you need to remove the battery and clean with either a hose or compressed air. The tractor is supposed to have a top-end speed of 7.5 mph, but I've been on it when the tractor could only go about 2 mph and would have trouble making it up a slight grade. I'm very disappointed in this lawn tractor and will most likely sell it after this cutting season and buy something else.

    I took the deck off and used compressed air to clean the machine first (but I didn't clean that one area!). I mulch the leaves,big area, then bag the leaves second. We have 4 small dogs so it's a clean yard or you can't find the poops and keep leaves from being brought inside on their feet.

    Hey buddy...I owe you a beer, or maybe a whole case! I was about ready to put my mower up on a trailer and tow it to a repair shop half an hour away. Problem solved in 5 minutes. BTW, if you lower the mower deck to the lowest position, you don't need to remove it. Also, sticking a long screwdriver down thru those 2 cleanout holes in the frame will enable you to dislodge most of the impacted grass.

    • @5MinuteFixit
      @5MinuteFixit  Před 3 lety

    I always use my leaf blower in my mower before putting it away, so it seemed unlikely that there would be any build up of clippings anywhere. Wrong! When I had the deck off I checked the area shown here and it was packed with debris, enough so it took me awhile to fish it out. Even though I had a new belt ready to install, I didn't need it. Now there is no slipping on hills. Thanks for the explanation and good video!

    I've always only ridden other peoples lawn tractor. Just like people never think about checking fluids on a car til the first component fails- I'd never think to clear the grass off the mower til I have to maintain my own. Thanks!

    Man I was about to throw my husq away. 400 hours on this bad boy. 2010 20/42 and it cuts 2 acres weekly. Rebuilt the transmission put a new drive belt on and it ran great. Fast forward 2 months and it doesn’t move again. Jacked it up and saw the drive belt has no tension when the brake is off. Damn it’s a new belt! Checked out your vid and I had to e exact problem major build up of grass. Hard grass clumps. Chipped it all away with a large flat blade and damn if this beast doesn’t now drive like the first day I bought it! Awesome man thanks a lot.

    I think it’s annoying that the owner manual doesn’t guide you to this issue. I found out the hard way, new belt and idlers. It is a hard spot to get right into and I think that the manufacturers need to set up a solution in new models. Using a long nose air blower seems a good idea that I Haven’t tried, so thanks for the tip. I may make an adapted tool for this to really get into the tight places. Great vid, thanks

The area in this video is just forward of the mowing deck and on top of flat surfaces. I had grass clippings dried hard as a rock just like he did in the video. Removed same and back up and running in less than 5-10 min. Reaching the area requires some patients and creative angles. Good luck out there and always watch for the kids!
