Lawn boy mower rear drive: harsh engagement of rear drive wheels in self propelled mode
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. Installed 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!
