When the back wheels on your Honda lawn (Salt Lake City, UT) mower are out of commission, then the Grass Care near house Littleton, CO is free to climb to the rafters until you take responsibility for the circumstance. Whether the parts that allow the back wheels of the mower to turn freely are damaged from an accidental mower mishap or discontinued turning due to regular wear and tear, it’s imperative that you investigate further to ascertain the origin of the issue.

Axle Anxieties

If you’ve run above a hard object, like a brick or large rock in the lawn (Salt Lake City, UT), it’s possible you might have damaged the axle to which the back mower wheels are attached. If the axle was damaged significantly to the point of bending or breaking, it might no longer flip and hold the wheels quickly so they are stuck in position. Purchase a replacement axle and mend it yourself to fix the issue.

Drive Belt Dilemmas

A common culprit once the back wheels of the Honda mower will not flip is either a faulty or broken drive belt. A working disc belt is necessary to flip the wheels on a self-propelled mower. A worn, frayed or broken belt will not operate properly and the back wheels will likely refuse to flip. Drive belt replacement requires the elimination and re-installation of many parts on the bottom of the mower. With the appropriate instructions, however, the vast majority of homeowners can replace the drive belt themselves. If axle replacing is a bigger job than you’d rather undertake, take the mower to an authorized Honda service shop.

Traction Control Troubles

When the Honda mower’s traction control cable breaks, the back wheels will stop turning. To replace the cable, which runs down the left side of the mower, remove the Z-pin that fits into the control arm of the mower. Eliminate the brackets that attach the cable into the handle of the mower. On the bottom of the mower, remove the belt cover and disconnect the traction control cable in the bracket to which it’s attached. Attach the new traction control cable into the bracket, replace the belt cover, then bend the cable through the brackets and add the Z-pin into the mower’s control arm.

Wheel Gear Woes

The gears which turn the wheels of the Honda mower are calibrated to interact with each other to permit the transmission to force the wheels effectively. If among the teeth on the gears breaks or cracks, or if there is extensive wear on all the gears, the wheels will come to a grinding halt. Rather than just replacing a gear, it’s necessary to replace the whole wheel assembly to find the back wheels turning.
