I soun the fan blade around When it was out of the mower, is that what you mean, or does it need something more mechanical? Thanks for your help.

I have posted before, but struggling to understand what is wrong with my John Deere LT155. The mower was becoming sluggish, so thought I would try changing the oil. I removed the transmission, drained the old oil and replaced with new. I took the opportunity to replace the drive belt too. I made...

I am now wondering if there is something I have or have nor done in refitting the transmission into the mower. With the back wheels free to turn, they rotate freely, regardless of whether the frewheeling lever is in or out. Should that be the case? I am just trying to work through the options to...

Thanks. :)

The new built shouldn't be ruined? It hasn't had any action other than fitting? Thanks

Many thanks. Terry

Hi, I posted previously regarding a lethargic Hydrostatic Drive. I removed the drive, drained the oil and replaced it with new. I also bought a new drive belt and reassembled it all. Stupidly I didn't check the length of the new belt with the old, but assumed that as it was designated as...

I will try that, makes sense. Once again, thanks for your help. Terry

Hi, I have just tried that. The battery was connected normally. Negative to earth, Positive to one side of the solenoid, the other connection direct to the starter. I left the earth wire connected to the spade connection on the solenoid and left the trigger wire disconnected. I then connected a...

Not sure how to test the relay? Thanks

Hi, Yes. The starter bendix is working fine as it is a relatively new starter motor. Reckon it must be the solenoid. Terry

Hi, I have just done that and I only get a meter reading when switching to start, when I release the key switch there is no reading. I therefore assume the solenoid must be the culprit. I have had a look on line for a replacement and the OEM ones are really expensive. Will a generic one do, if...

Hi, I have a Champion Model EL63 (I believe Castlegarden is similar). Recently when in drive it has starting to judder (like slipping gears on a bicycle). I am not sure if a worn drive belt would cause that (as I am not sure how to adjust the tension) or is it possibly the actual gearbox is at...

Hi, I actually posted in one of the other threads regarding my sluggish hydrostatic unit. It was suggested I drive it up a small slope and test whether it is hard to push down the slope. So I thought I would give it a try, only problem is that it has been sitting a while. On hooking everything...

Thanks for that, I will give that a try. Terry

I have a John Deere Lt155 Ride on Mower which struggles on the slightest incline. I assume it is the hydrostatic drive that is the culprit. Is there a way to check? Is it an relatively easy job to service and if so can I buy a service kit? Many thanks, Terry

Interesting and thanks again. Cheers, Terry

Wow, that is a very honest summary and can agree that the quality of the machine is less than we would hope. But nevertheless, the information is really helpful. Many thanks again. Kind regards, Terry

Many thanks for that & I suspect that is my problem too. Was the transaxle expensive to replace? Thanks again, Terry

I am experiencing problems with my Lawnflite 940. The mowing deck became beyond repair, so I thought I would take the deck off and use it as a mini tractor, as the engine is in good condition. However, it is really difficult to engage Forward, Neutral & Reverse. I have to fiddle with the...

I have a Champion branded 6/63 which I gather is also equivalent to the CastleGarden EL63M ride on. I could do with a manual but I would like some advice on how to tension or replace the drive belt?
