Hello My Friends hope you are having a nice day,
Craftsman Limited Edition Honda
Honda GCV 160
Model # 247.376830
So I am working on a family members self-propelled (now a push mower) that wont self-propel. I am thinking it can be due to one of four things... #1 the belt.....#2 the shaft pulley....#3 the transmission pulley....#4 the transmission itself.
When I engage the self propelled handle the wheels do not spin but when I tilt the mower and lift front wheels off the ground they spin but somewhat slowly. Also, when I engage to self propel I notice that the belt seems to appear to be jumping around? When I took everything apart I did notice some polishing on both pulleys and I suspect this something you would expect to see and is normal? from my layman's viewpoint? I don't know this why I am here at the Lawn Mower Forum to find out from the experts.
What are your thoughts? And what shall I replace 1st? I included several pictures to help give ya a better understanding.
Thanks for your time, Its appreciated!
