I got a free lawn boy 10304 silver series. It was leaking gas and I got that fixed. I sharpened the blade and took the muffler off to check the exhaust ports.
They were clean but i couldn't get the tapered blade plate off. I used a lot used PB blaster and a hammer and a puller but it just bent the blade plate. So I straightened it back and just put the blade back on. Also I greased the fittings at the drive wheels. When I started the mower up it tried to creep forward
even with the handle disengaged and it won't back up. The drive wheels are locked upand won't go in reverse. The belt seems like it has shrunk. I took the belt cover off and everything looks OK there. I have a model 10302 that is a twin to this mower and it looks the same but the belt on it is a lot looser. The previous owner said
he never had any trouble with the drive part. My question is would putting too much grease in the fittings cause it to mess up or BB Blaster shrink the belt?
On a parts website I found two part no.s for belts for the same mower. 93-7381 and 92-1043, Does anyone know which would be the right belt?
Thanks for any help.
