Mower not self propelling.

James from Colorado Springs, Colorado

43 of 43 people found this instruction helpful.
Difficulty Level:
Easy
Total Repair Time:
30 - 60 mins
Tools:
Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set
Parts Used:
105-3040
Symptoms: Mower has to be pushed, power not engaging, makes a loud ratcheting sound.

Use 13mm socket to remove wheel. Determine it the gear on the mower is worn. Check both wheels to determine if you need to replace the gear on both sides! If you don\'t you\'ll end up ordering twice and paying for shipping twice. Also the sam e gear works on both sides and is marked with an R and L so you will know how to put it on.

Remove c clamp with screwdriver and pliers. Don\'t bend it. Just press down on the clamp until you can get a grip on it with the pliers and then pull it off.

Remove the washer

Remove the worn out gear. Don\'t let the little free moving metal tab that engages the gear slip out of its slot or the wheel will not engage when you finish.

Put the new gear on. It has an R on one side and an L on the other. The R goes on the right side as you stand behind the mower, L on the left side.

Reverse the process for the washer and c clamp.

Replace the wheel.

1. Disconnected spark plug. Removed grass bag. Raised mower up on wooden 2x4s to access back wheels (did not tilt mower).
2. Removed left wheel with a socket set.
3. Removed ring clip with screw driver and needle nose pliers.
4. Removed pinion gear and thrust washer while holding down key on shaft. Quickly examined condi tion of key and didn\'t replace.
5. Replaced with new pinion gear, new thrust washer and new ring clip. Slid pinion gear on with L on outside (facing direction you would be standing to use mower), thrust washer and put on gloves to push ring clip onto shaft. The pinion gears have L and R engraved on them and are interchangeable.
6. Replaced old wheel with new wheel. Gears on old wheel were worn too. Used socket set to reinstall wheel.
7. Repeated for the right side.
8. Tested and self propelled worked. Although the left wheel would not move when I backed up. I had the tension too tight on the self propelled cable. Loosen nut near handle and eased back on the tension in the cable. Mower backs up and self propelled works like new. Mower is about 12-14 years old and is a Toro Personal Pace.

Removed rear wheel bolt, removed E-clip retainer from axle removed stripped gear and replaced same. Gears will fit either right or left side of axle by just spinning then around 180 degrees. Face of each gear is marked either left or right. Make sure small axle woodruff key isn\'t broken or missing as it retains gear on axle shaft. Instal led gear on axle shaft washer and E-clip. When installing E-clip\'s Make sure E-clip lines up with machined slot in axle as then it is fully seated to retain the drive gear assembly! Lubed axle gear on shaft and gear riveted to new wheel with 30 weight oil. Reinstalled new wheels with blue Loctite on wheel retaining bolt to bracket. And Done, works great, and no more hash engagement in self propelled mode. Parts are O.E.M. quality and fit was perfect. ereplacementparts.com ROCKS!

When we investigated the reason for the self-propel not working, we found numerous parts missing and the gear off the shaft. Replaced parts and reassembled and thankfully it is working like a charm. Just followed the parts diagram. And take your time.

Grinding noise in left wheel, loss of self propel function

Jim from Knoxville, Tennessee

4 of 4 people found this instruction helpful.
Difficulty Level:
A Bit Difficult
Total Repair Time:
More than 2 hours
Tools:
Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable)
Removed back wheels, gears and axel.
Removed mower blade and belt.
Rebuilt transmission and repackaged with grease.
Reassembled and found an extra spacer. Eventually found it went in between the main engine shaft and the blade\'s shaft-bracket. If you leave this off then the engine won\'t turn due to clamping friction of the bracket against the engine\'s bottom.
After reassembling with all new parts and testing, the left wheel gears still sounded bad (grinding). Read different website forums from 2010-now where some people fixed this design/tolerance issue by adding spacers between the left wheel mount and the mower body. I added those and the grinding went away.

I set the lawn mower up on blocks. Installed the spring, set the shafts key over the spring, slid the gear over top. Put the washer in place, used needle nose pliers to lock in the snap ring, put the tire on and used a 1/2\" socket to tighten up the tire. Very easy.

Removed drive wheels then removed retaining clips from drive axle. Removed drive gear ,key & spring. Be sure to pay attention to the direction of the pinion gear when you reinstall it. if you install it in the wrong direction it won,t drive the wheel when it is put into drive mode. Grease all parts and reinstall in reverse of disassembly and you are ready to go. Easy repair just pay close attention to disassembly and you are good to go.
