I have a Honda HRR216VKA that I bought a few months ago. I've been using it commercially. It's a great mower overall, but I've had endless problems with the rear wheels locking up when I pull the mower backwards. After a month of use, the wheels would no longer roll back and I replaced the Teflon driveshaft bushings. A few weeks later, the problem came back and I replaced them again. Now the mower won't roll backwards even after replacing the bushings. The transmission shaft spins just fine and so do the wheels. I think the deck has bent under the weight of the mower and the bushings are no longer in alignment with the transmission shaft, thus causing the shaft to bind when I pull the mower backwards. I've had issues with the front wheels as well, and it seems like this mower is just too heavy to support its own weight! :confused2:
Here's my question: If I buy an HRX, will the Nexite deck bend just like this steel one has?
