When I pull the handle for the mow to self propel it doesnt. The mow continues to cut but its touugh pushing it up the hills. Any suggestions to what could possibly be the problem.

Broken drive cable? Worn gears? They both happened to me before.

Check if the self propel mechanism is driven by a belt. If so the belt must be slacken or loose or the grass gets into the groove of the pulley that drives the belt. If that is the case, clear the grass.

Good luck.
