I have a walk-behind mower.
---
I have a 3yo Honda walk-behind. After a year, the mower got harder to pull back. A few times, the wheels would lock backing up.
Last year, while still under warranty, I went to the dealer. He said they warranty is worthless. It's likely grass, under the deck. Hose it out. That wasn't the problem.
Yesterday, after 50', the mower stopped moving. The engine lugged slightly, when engaged, but it didn't move. I went back today. They said $75-100 to fix it. I expected worse, but I can live with that. But I'm not happy! This isn't a cheap mower. Our last similar Honda lasted 20 years, before I gave it away to a friend in need.
Anyone else have this problem? Did you get it fixed? I used to be a mechanic. Is it hard to fix it myself? I read a special tool was needed. Maybe not for my mower?
Thanks.
I'm not sure what is happening with the first line. It was typing over itself.
