The mower just got here but we'll see what it needs directly. I usually use old Snapper 00 grease for gears. BLESSINGS!

@@HomeGaragechannel Did years ago. That's why it said SNAPPER 00 grease on the squirt bottles. Now I think Snapper took their name off it; just 00 grease. Acts like the same stuff. I've used this stuff in Snapper mowers that the differential cover had slack between the housing and the axles and the gears still worked. It was so old it had a REVERSE on the shifter on a HAND mower. # or 3 1/2 horse with the goofy pull straight up starter. I filled the 85 up after I got the new pinion gear and cleaned the leaves out of the cover. Works just fine.

Hello, nice vid. but I notice the gear on the motor is below the flywheel after the reinstall. Does the gear travel upward to engage the flywheel before rotation? Thanks..

Did not check the ground off the key start, the key start itself, just go straight too the starter motor. Should by the way check too see if voltage is getting too starter. A Harbor freight circuit tester can do that.. About 6 bucks without coupon.

ulitepilot aka Zombie Dave in my experience with key start mowers, the battery has to be brand new, or fully charged, the carb has to be in perfect condition, also the coil has to be perfectly gapped, and spark plug clean, and or new, and brand new gas, for a electric keystart to start the mower without having to use the pull rope.... In my personal opinion of course.
