I believe there is a V-belt that drives the front wheels,it may have broken,or the gears in the gear box have failed !

Check and see if the belt for the drive wheels is still on the pulleys.

SOURCE: lawn boy 2 cycle mower won't start

Replace the spark plug and retry.
If a new plug does not work push the spring button on the bottom of the carburetor to make sure fresh fuel is in the fuel bowl.
if this does not work remove the spark plug and squirt some light oil (like wd 40) right into the spark plug hole; roll the engine over slowly a couple times using the starter rope. put the plug back in and snap the plug wire in place. If the mower now starts after a couple pulls it means the rings are worn, replace the rings.

SOURCE: The rear wheels will not turn in reverse at all. I

Rear wheel drives like this have pinion gears with rachet pawls that allow them to go backwards freely while locking when the transmission drives them.

You need to take off your rear wheels and carefully remove the pawls. They look like little squareish metal shaft keys with springs under them. You should notice that the keys or pawls are covered in what looks like grease.....which is actually worm metal from the pinion gear and oil mixed together to form this pastey greasey substance. Clean all that stuff off and lightly oil *( light oil...3 in 1 kind of oil) and reassemble.

You should hear the nice clean clicking of the rachet pawls as you roll backwards again!

Good luck and be careful!

Model 10640 how to adjust self-propel drive cable

If the V-belt is old, you'll need to install a new V-belt first ,then IIRC,the adjustment is by sliding the bale conduit on the side of the handle.

Lawnboy 10665 won't self-propel and impossible to push

If you have the smell of rubber burning the belt isn't gripping. Make sure that there isn't anything stopping the wheels turning like old grass or even a piece of twig. If their clear try adjusting the tension on the drive pully.

Speed of the lawn mower governor is missadjusted

The engine revs are turned down to make the machine noise compliant, increasing the revs will greatly increase the noise, the engine revs shouold not realy be increased, however a dealer with a suitable engine taco may do it for you, it is very important not too over speed the engine or it will self destruct,

After about 15 to 30 minutes, engine starts pinging (for a few seconds) then dies

Not familiar with tecumseh lawn boy. Lawn boys I worked on were 2 stroke, if this is the case the crank seal is sucking air after engine warms up. New seal would fix. If you can't do it you're self may not be economically worth it.

My two year old flymo self prop. rotary mower is now making a grinding and screaching noise coming from the drive box how do i get the rear wheels off , this model is the large rear wheel type model...

Have you tried looking at www.flymo.com. Select the country you are in. Looks like you are going to need to find a different model number to find whatt you are looking for. But maybe this site will get you headed in the right direction.
Good Day.
