I am considering buying the above mower but it has some sort of transmission problem. Does anyone know if this model has a clutch or cone type transmission? I have been warned not to buy if it is a cone type transmission.

If it is a clutch how difficult is it to adjust?

The 4424 would have the cone-type transmission. If you have some mechanical skills you could likely repair the problem, & the parts are still available. I would not not recommend it, though, if you're not into some mechanical tinkering. My 4423 transmission lasted about 10 years before I had to start replacing some tranny parts & drive sprockets.

Thank you. I think I will know by Sunday if I get the mower. If I do I will definitely get back with you.
