Hi,
About 20 years ago I bought a new: Honda HRM 215 K3 SDA. After about 5 years of faithful use, the self propelled function quit working when I squeezed the bar to engage the propulsion. Being pressed for time, I cut the belt, allowing me to mow the lawn, providing I pushed the lawnmower. (At the time I was working 6 days a week out of town and after it rained on 3 successive Saturdays, the grass was really tall. So in desperation I cut the belt and proceeded to mow.)
Since that fateful day (15 years ago), the mower has worked fine as long as I pushed it. Now I have a chirping sound coming out of the left wheel and the wheel sporadically hangs up or becomes very difficult to get it to rotate in mowing. I sprayed WD40 which did NOT fix the problem.
Any thoughts, ideas, possible diagnosis/solutions ?? I'm retired now, so I have time to do repairs.
Thanks,
John
