I work at a Honda Power Equipment dealership, and this is a common issue with the HRR216 mowers. When you tip the mower on it's side, there is a little plastic seal on each side of the transmission shaft (axle) where you lubricated it. You can take a small screw driver and pop that seal out, then use your penetrating oil, and pop the seal back in again. We actually do this during a routine tune-up if the machine is hard to roll backward. Over time, the problem will slowly get worse until that rear bearing needs to be replaced. The parts are cheap. The bearing assembly already installed in the wheel adjuster arm is under $10 (US) for each side. When you change those out, the machine rolls backward like it did when it was new. Love your channel, Steve!

You can get the wheel adjuster assembly, and it comes with the bushings already installed. There is a large snap ring inside the deck that holds the wheel adjuster assembly in place. You need to remove both sides, or clean the drive shaft with emery tape to slide the transmission to the side. Slide it the direction of the long shaft. The short shaft side isn't long enough to get it out. I get an hour to do both sides. After you do a few dozen, you can do it in about 45 minutes.

I may have forgotten to thank you. Wife and I were driving in the next neighbor and saw one for a county pickup. The owner was outside and we asked and asked if we could have it, he said "sure sure". I didn't even know it rolled backwards at first, but saw the video and cleaned the axle with compressed air and lubricated it. I was able to get it running, but gas was leaking from the carburetor. I have a woodshop and made a new gasket, note they are very thin. That worked fine and now we use the mower all the time. Nice mowers, but I think the weak link is the front wheel toe-in problems, which I fixed by tweaking the heavy brackets, which took some heavy hits from a big mallet!

A few years back I bought a composite deck honda that wouldn't pull back...seller said he took it to 2 honda dealerships and both said it needed a transmission. I took the wheels apart and after cleaning up the mechanism it was the engagement cable. The cable was frayed and wouldn't let the spring release transmission to pull backwards.$20 cable later it ran perfect

Different models will have different issues with that problem. Some have a clutch return lever that doesn’t return 100% to neutral , some the spring is broke, some get crap into the return mechanism and jambs it up. Follow the cable from the top of the handle to where it connects to the trans. If there is a lever there then force it to move by whatever means you have, like a long handled screw driver, make it move to see if it will go opposite of the cable pull direction to a position further than it started at, clean area with air, then lube it.

A suggestion for when things get so bad you do have to tear into the bushing/axle: after cleaning everything up and polishing the rust off the axle, lubricate the ends of the axle with anti-seize compound before putting the bushing back on and re-assembling. it's highly water resistant and will slow rust formation. I've found I can go a lot longer before things tighten up again...and then you can try Steve's easy suggestion to get the wheels turning again.

I have a 30 year old Toro GTS recycler with the same issue. I will give that a try with the ATF. I found it was the engagement pins that would get sticky and not always release when pulling in reverse. I took it apart and regreased with standard grease, so maybe the ATF concoction you used is a better alternative. BTW. The only problem with the Toro is age. I think I need to replace the ignition. It always starts within the first pull or two when cold, but takes several pulls if the engine is warm. I suspect the ignition gets weaker when itis warm. Love your channel and the support April provides to make you the shinning rock star!

Hey Steve, I've been working at a small engine shop for the past couple years and have worked out a good trick to cure this problem. Instead of just putting oil over those bushing caps, just get yourself a pick and remove the cap, blow out and clean out the inside and pack some grease inside. I've had them to the point where they wouldn't even roll backwards and would scrape on the ground but this clears it right up. Every time.
@jaredpoboisk9094 Жыл бұрын
Obviously, pop the seal back in when done. They come out very easily. I pressure wash the inside after removing, blow out, pre lubricate and work in with whatever spray lube you want and pack with grease. Makes em' smooth like butter.

Good to see that was the problem with yours. Unfortunately, I had the transmission fail. Pulled trans all the way out of the lawnmower (ala no bushings)... vice grip on the shaft... no turn (bummer). Bought a new transmission. New trans was failed out of the box. Sent it back and tried another one... it was good. If you need to do replace the underside stuff.. take gas and oil out of the mower and turn it UPSIDE down between a few sawhorses. Make sure you have some decent snap-ring pliers, and get new snap rings from Honda... including the wheel assemblies... the snap rings are not standard !

I have found this to happen on regular mowers with each wheel as junk builds up between the hole and the axle. Sometimes the drag gets so bad it feels like you are pushing through mud. A little squirt of lubricant in the hole takes care of the issue. So i can see how the elements would would easily combine to mess up the works on a self propelled unit.

Next, I run the motor with the blade engaged for about two minutes, which rids the mower of a lot of water. Finally, I turn the mower on it's side and spray the wheel bearings, the blades and related springs, and all of the axle and transmission connections with WD-40 using a spray bottle. (Buying WD-40 by the gallon saves a ton of money.) I have done this routinely since I got the mower new over ten years ago. So far, so good. 👍

I'm going to put some locktight on the threads to see if that does the trick. I have adjusted the bolts, but the wheels are not allowing backward motion again. The wheels dig ruts in the lawn, and moving it backward on the shed floor and on the driveway are a pain. Maybe some lube in there would help, too. I'll take the wheels off one at a time and inspect what should work. Tell April Hi for me. Thanks again, Steve.

Hi Steve, I don't know if you have touched on this before if so could you point me to the video? Anyway I just bought a John Deere Z turn tractor. It came loose on my trailer on the ride home. Could you please go over the best tie down method for a zero turn mower on a utility trailer. Thanks so much.
