Is there a way to adjust the rear drive wheel on a lawnboy model 8270A self propelled mower? Or do I have to purchase new rear wheels and steel drive wheel? The Steel drive wheels still have some grooves on them but I am not sure if they need replacing. Is there a way to measure them to know when they are wore out.
Place mower in "OUT-OF-DRIVE" position,
Adjustment is performed by placing lower
end of control rod into groove of clutch control
lever assembly. Pull up clutch control
lever and down on control rod as far as
possible and tighten clamp screw securely.
This procedure should provide the required
3/16 inch spacing. However, if it cannot be
attained, remove right rear wheel and
loosen shoulder bolt and adjust axle accordingly
