Hey there Primerbulb120 hope you are enjoying your weekend. Hot one today here in Pennsylvania but not as hot as FLORIDA...lol (my brother lives in Homestead)

I just don't understand how the transmission is bad. When I opened it up there was nothing apparent that something was broken or worn. The metal worm gear looks brand new and the plastic drive gear looks just as good. I was expecting to find plastic shavings from damage or normal wear and tear and did not find anything in the bottom of the tranny case. No shavings in the oil..... so I'm like wtf? Any chance it could be the drive shaft pulley? I cut the grass today and that pig is dead weigh to push around...lol

Dimensions:

1. Length of the axle shaft = approx. 20 inches
2. Diameter of the axle shaft =approx. 1/2 inch
3. Diameter of the pulley = approx. 2 1/2 inches
