Hi and thankyou for reading this.
I purchased a used Weedeater One (Mowcart 66) a couple of months ago and just finished fitting a new transaxle to it.
During disassembly a month back, I had to disconnect the long gear speed motion control lever (handle) on the right hand side of the drivers seat from the short selector lever at the transaxle and didn't take any notice of the long lever's amount of tension in the plastic housing slots, adjacent to the driver's seat.
When I went to refit the long motion lever to the short transaxle lever yesterday, it appears its tension in the selector slots in the plastic housing adjacent to the seat is obtained only by the (forced) inward bending of the short lever extension on the transaxle, which puts a lot of pressure on the transaxle end selector bush etc.
It would be possible, but difficult to fit and tighten the long lever handle to the short transaxle lever with so much tension happening.
I thought "that much tension cant be right", so as its possible to undo 2 x screws on the long lever and turn the long lever handle around 180 degrees (its not a straight handle - has bends), I did so.
It then lines up well with the short transaxle end lever...... but the long handle doesn't retain in the speed selector slots in the plastic housing next to the drivers seat properly, as there is next to no tension now on the long handle.
So Im thinking, turn the long lever back around 180 degree like it was...... remove the large plastic housing with the speed selection slots in it next to the drivers seat …...then fit the long lever to the short lever on the transaxle with no tension now in play (as its now not located in the plastic housing slots)...... and then slide the slotted housing over the top of the long lever handle, engaging it into one of the slots, and use some pressure to line up and refit the housing ?
Can anyone clear this up for me please ?
