I have a ton of leaves all in my yard. When I was shopping for my tractor I read the reviews of the cub bagger. The reviews seemed very polarized, either love or hate. That's why I went with the Deere.

I'm confused. Do you have high lift bagging blades on now?

I think you're going to like the HRX. My issues with mine were that it was very hard to pull back on when trimming. But if you didn't have that trouble with your HRR, then you should be fine. The Honda is more susceptible in dusty conditions which sounds like you don't have. The other reason my...

That's nice to know. No Honda dealer around here. Lowes and Home depot have them way up high on their pallet rack shelves. Even then I wanted spin stop or roto stop its something they didn't have.

The HRN series incorporates a new needed feature that Honda carelessly omitted from its HRR HRX mowers. From Honda's web site about the new HRN: "Improved Maneuverability 2-Way Ratchet System improves maneuverability and reduces effort to turn in a tight radius, drastically reducing pull-back...

Those parts add up to about $130.00 ????

The drive shaft on both the front and rear is supported with ball bearings on the Toro. On the Honda the drive shaft is supported with plastic bushings. The stub axles off the adjuster on the Honda run to the wheels which do have bearings. IMHO a lot of the Honda's extra cc's enable it to...

The SuperRecycler has real grease-able bearings on all 4 corners making it more robust and easier to move than my HRX217. I fitted the blue traction handle that is on the AWD and Timemaster so I can switch between personal pace and hand control operation. If Honda ever offers a mower that...

Why are you interested in the HRX217? Maybe it's not worth the trouble

Upon reassembly you might have reversed the pinion gears. They are direction specific.

Well done you. Looks very nice. I'm a bit jealous of your Simplicity. It was between your Regent and a JD x350. The mulch on demand on the Deere's deck won me over but I'm betting the cut quality is better on your Simplicity. Enjoy your beautiful lawn and mower.

Get a sunbelt for 42" decks. If you always raise your deck to 4" when you disengage that will tighten your oem belt.

Your ZTR has been discontinued for awhile so you might check with your dealer to see if a current bagger will work. That or a universal bagger or a tow behind sweeper.

I would also recommend 21385, I have the one with spin stop.

"stuffed" in aussie slang means broken

Belt construction out of rubber or polyester core with aramid fibers to reinforce the core. Then wrap that with a kevlar jacket makes for an incredibly long lasting belt.

Here is the his review: "I loved this mower for the first mow. Then the sputtering started. I changed the fuel, the spark plug, snapped the boot in place. Still sputtering on uneven surfaces and bumping into things. Got to looking at it and the governor is super sensitive to any impacts. I put...

Plus the belt is under tension when it pivots so much less likely to come off under tension. Also the range of travel is not that significant, because we're talking just 0-4 mph in most cases.

Apparently one of the reviewers said he traced the issue to a very sensitive govenor. He placed the o ring to dampen the sensitivity. I'll see if I can find his review. I avoided the Briggs and went with the Toro engine on my super recycler in part because of the Briggs reviews.

Like the advice above try a new plug. However if you read the customer reviews on the Toro's with the Briggs engine this is a common problem. I think someone put an o ring on the govenor linkage pivot and that seemed to help.

It's nearly off season, (at least here lol) why not rebuild your current engine or at least pull it apart and see what is needed?

I would keep your old one going as long as possible!! My dad had one of those and it was great. You are smart to stay away from the Honda's. I think the closest you will come to it by far is to take a look at the following mowers from Snapper: Commercial Walk Mowers, HI VAC® Series Lawn Mowers...

I agree. The more I watch the video's I think that this is happening. @ShawnCarl if you used a dethatcher then with your lawn i'm thinking a power rake is in order. Power rakes can remove up to 4 times as much material as a dethatcher. A neighbor up the street who has one of the best lawns in...

Yes, just under the bushings

Stanley black and decker currently own 20 percent in mtd with option to purchase the rest in 2021. We shall see...

Stanley Black & Decker inc. will swoop in and purchase Briggs and MTD in a mega merger.

Any quality lithium or synthetic grease. If you have an hrr series and you are going to keep it then consider looking into the bearing conversion thread.

That is the belt shroud/cover I believe.

The owners manual says to inspect the bushings every 2 years. It doesn't tell you what you are looking for. In some cases the shaft is rusted so then you're in the sand and repeat mode of never ending repairs.

Smaller blade on my HRX was towards the engine. Is your blade order correct?

Looks like you've done just about all you can with your current mower. Here's a homework assignment: Borrow a neighbor's mower with bagger and see how that does. If the results are the same then you are all set. If not then it's the mower and it might just be inherent to that series of Honda and...

I had a Honda hrx series that I sold. I replaced it with a Toro Super recycler. Here's one major difference, the Toro has grease-able bearings on all 4 corners.

And of course this one has a TSB:Technical service bulletin

And another one:Honda won't roll backwards

And this thread:Tips

Very common problem on the Honda's although more common on the HHR series. Here is a thread:Bearing conversion

See what the next size up is in a metric bolt. Most hardware stores have individual metric taps and the bit needed together.

I see you have the blade stop. I'm wondering if that could be a factor. My hrx was a good bagger but I didn't have the blade stop. My new Toro super recycler has spin stop and it bags great.

I agree that the HRX is not as bad as the HRR given the same conditions. However in my case it was aggravating enough for me to sell my HRX and get a Toro super recycler which I love. I applaud all you guys with the creative solutions that you have come up with!

It's probably the model without the plastic drain valve on it. So if it's the plug with the recessed square in it use a 3/8" socket wrench with the long extension on it. The extension should fit in the opening and you can remove the plug.

I have lots of thoughts. What model Honda do you have HRR. HRX??

The 190cc makes the Timemaster underpowered to begin with. Yes you can pop the 223cc on there. Just compare the 2 parts diagrams between the 190cc & 223cc and see what parts are different. I'm thinking not much difference. Google lawnmower or small engine tachometer for pricing and methods for...

Should have the 190cc briggs on it.

Support the back of the housing with a washer, (large enough for the square head to clear thru the washer. ) Then put a socket over the washer and using a vise press that bolt out.

Maybe different blades. Description The Honda HRR Lower Bagging Blade is a Quadracut twin blade set is made just for the Honda Mowers. The double sided blade design fits perfectly with the HRR models. This Honda HRR Lower Bagging Blade is recommended to be replaced in pairs, that is both the...

Nice lawn. When was the last time you power raked or thatched? Is your honda running at the proper RPM's? Is the deck perfectly clean.....perfect? Are you getting good air flow thru your bagger?

Also try using one of those funnels with the filter built into it to make sure you are getting completely clean fuel. My neighbor swears by those filter funnels and won't put any gas into a small engine without running it through the filter.

Which motor do you have the 190cc or the 223cc? If you are down on RPM's then the available power to propel the mower is also down. Gently push your mower when it is not running. Push the traction handle a little bit and the mower should stop because the traction system engages. If not then...

Was the new belt you installed a Toro or Stens belt?
