I would have to check the blade for damage first, it can tell a story. I don't see flywheel keys come apart often but when they do, it's usually because they used it for accidental stump removal.

Sounds like a sheered flywheel key, possibly bent crankshaft which often ends with loose or even broken engine mounts, carburetor service and hopefully it’s not too far gone do to missing filter element. I like the simplicity of this machine, wish Briggs used a bigger diameter cranks on this engine

I'd say sheered flywheel key. The sheered key caused the flywheel to be off timing, meaning spark is also off timing, so the engine just gets flooded with petrol instead of igniting it. The flooding is probably what caused the resistance because fluid don't/barely compress. Another guess could be no spark, which also could lead to flooding.

@ I hear ya. My dad opened up a transmission (may be a CVT as it is variable speed, no “set” speeds) on a 20 year old Husqvarna mower one time and fixed it successfully. He gave me the mower and I still have it. I’m looking to sell it. The unit is a 1999 model with some kind of plastic or fiberglass deck, still in solid condition. Has a 5.5 hp Briggs Quantum on it. So yeah,it’s 26 years old now, and still fires right up.

Thats a great idea, melting the pin into place, it's cheaper to do that, then buy a new transmission, especially if the person I'm doing the work for is on a budget, and can't afford a new transmission, and needs the mower to last for a season or two, maybe more

I would attempt to repair. A self-propelled mower with a broken drive system is harder to push than a simple non self-propelled version. This, IMO, is the weak link on Toro mowers, and that transmission looks a LOT like the one in my Toro. Thanks for the tips on a possible repair.

something i thought about; you could have technically used a 3d printer to print new gears with stronger plastic, but im assuming you don't have one so thats probably out of the question. something else i thought about was to melt the gear on the other side so maybe the same thing didnt happen
@HomeGaragechannel
@HomeGaragechannel 2 күн бұрын
you are correct, In fact I think I asked that before on the original version of this repair... "should I have melted the plastic on the other gear".. Most people said I should have too. But this mower is long gone so hopefully it's still holding up .
