Hello,
I have a Toro Recycler 20065 22" FWD with a B&S engine. I just bought it used and when I started mowing, the self-propel worked great. Both wheels were spinning and pulling the mower up my big hill.
By the end of the couple hours, the self-propel did not work. It started to make a metal grinding sound when I engaged the self-propel. Then, it started to move slower and slower, while making a metal grinding sound. I can still engage it by lifting the wheels off the ground and pulling the lever, but when I set the wheels on the ground, they stop spinning and I hear a grinding sound.
Engaging the self-propel with the wheels on the ground results in a weird grinding sound and no movement. I dont think it is the belt, as it still engages. The wheels are not stripped as I just had them off to lubricate the wheel bearings.
Is this the transmission? I understand this is a common problem with these mowers. Any other advice would be great. Thanks!
