The handle that I normally grasp to engage the self propell has no tension. I checked the handle and everything is hooked up fine there. Taking the cover off of the front of the mower I noticed the cable for the self propell is snapped, I think. I'm not sure what it was connected to, but I do know that I can pull the cable back and forth. Unable to find a diamgram on how the cable should be attached. Any help would be appreciated. Can't afford a repairman right now and with all this damn rain my grass is going to be 3 feet tall in a couple of days. Thanks!
Hi John, my Troy-Bilt self propelled lawn mower has a loose V-belt that I need to replace. It didn't snap but it did slip off and I was able to get it back on the pulley. But now it's too loose. How do I get the new belt on? There doesn't seem to be and easy access to the pulley.
I have an authorized Troy-Bilt repair place nearby, they charge $75 per hour. I'd rather do it myself if I can.
I read online about the 2005 V-Belt recall problem & wondering if this is part of it. I do have the receipt. Thanks so much.
