I just found this forum during my search for help. I have a Troybilt J830 self-propelled lawn mower (Model # 12AJ836E011) that needs a repair. The wheel height is adjusted by a single lever that controls all 4 wheels. This lever arm has broken off and I'm trying to replace it. I have the new part, but I have run into an issue. I have looked at diagrams of the drive assembly and I think I see how it is put together.
After removing the wheel, there is a spur gear. In the top of this gear is a T-30 screw. I believe it is left-handed, but I am not able to remove it. The shaft will rotate. Is there a trick I'm missing or is the screw "frozen" in place? I have put some WD-40 on it. Assuming I get the screw removed, are there any other pieces that hold it in place? I had removed two clips below the adjustment arm and it released a collar on the underside of the mower deck.
This should be an easy repair, but the spur gear is troublesome.
Thanks for your help.
