So happy to hear Bobby's feeling better and Wishing all the best for you and your family. Thanks for the videos

[@doublewide6]

Darryl Landry I appreciate that. Thank you Darryl.

[@bluegrassrootstv]

Thanks again for doing these clips. Very helpful. I hope the Little Man is still doing well. So far I've got my transmission loose (not removed) managed to get the problem part, the pulley, off, and have a new one on the way. Next, is the reassembly. That is often the most challenging part. Good work. You're a versatile, talented guy. Thanks again...

So my boss got one of these from auction. It was kind of a freebie for the most part I think he spent like $5 on it. Well after looking at it the motor wasn't seized so there was hope. The bar for the transmission though is missing. Got a new carburetor the thing started right on up and surprisingly had a lot of power. Well I was just trying it again after like four months of sitting and I decided to try to use the self propelled thing. It didn't want to work in 3rd gear. But first and second we're fine for the most part. But after doing up about 4000 plus feet of cutting the transmission wasn't making the tires move anymore it was just making a clunking noise. Seeing that yours has a leak kind of blows my mind. The one I got is basically half broken apart with no screws holding it on for the most part the black case and it's about 50% of the way open. So now I'm at Walmart about to buy some penetrating lubricant stuff because the nuts and bolts on this thing or so see used that I don't even really know what to do to him besides penetrating oil and some fire only in certain spots I think some things are never metal but all contain washing I'm just letting you know what's going on with me even though like you know who cares

[@mikeatv]

best of luck for your sons condition... great video..

[@stubby145]

Good to hear about your son!

[@ScottyBrunton]

At 9:25 that "sleeve" is called a roll pin. Enjoyed your video!

[@gonzalezprestige1498]

Man you had to show off your oil extractor didn't you.. hahahaha

[@crisprtalk6963]

I just tonight removed mine, took me an hour. Messy dirty work, but I got it.

[@ditto3000e]

What oil is in that transmission? I’ve seen 10w-30 and then I’ve been seeing some hydraulic fluid stuff.

[@jfarinacci0329]

Really good video. Thank you.

[@craigstreetzel7743]

Adjusters are a 12 mm nut on the underside of the deck

[@jeffweber8244]

You sound like Thomas Hayden Church. Nice video.

[@scottfirman]

3 speed transmission was $149.00 Shipped for the HRZ Commercial grade mower I have. All cables were bad. Both right and left adjustor bushings were bad, carburetor was bad. The blades were fine. I should have the old transmission out and new one in and hopefully sell it. It has the extended front locking wheels( cables were bad). I will never again fix one that extensively damaged and worn out ever again. Oh, also replaced all 4 wheels. Next is a Toro with electric start. It took me a month to get the blade pulley mount. I ended up getting Stens because factory ones are cheap junk. I just fixed one for a friend, the pulley had worn in half!

[@stevenpadgett8058]

When you got the new transmission, were you able to get the pin out to put in the speed cable? I having a hard time with my HRZ.

[@crisprtalk6963]

9:50 knocking out the pin, I have been trying for 30 minutes to get that pulley off. Was there any trick you used to knock the pin out?

[@77.88.]

I bought a new carburetor from a Honda dealer for$17.50 made in Thailand they must have made the air and fuel adjustments on a specific bench as I did not need to do any adjustments.

[@ThePheonix2009]

Great Video. You come highly recommended by Bruce Pender.

[@benbrewer5853]

Good video I believe it's a headache mower friend of mine's got one it works every now and then then it don't work it works every now and then it don't work I believe it's Transmissions messed up but I believe I just wouldn't use it without you drive this you push it

[@unclefrankonap1953]

Glad to hear your sons doing good ,nice video.if you were going to buy a new mower what mower would you suggest , a honda or a torro what model shelf perpalled.

[@carlwinslow4175]

The metal finger that attaches the tranny should there be a spring on there possibly internal ? mine just stays where I move it. Was going to replace my stretched cable but without the spring to oppose it I dont see much point

[@salpeluso1524]

Great videos. I have a HRM215K2SX. Motor still runs great but I have a transmission problem.. Low gear works fine ... wheels will not turn in high gear. Any thought? Thanks

[@aleblanc3547]

Those gears, keyways and springs that run inside of the rear wheels cause 99% of the transmission problems on these otherwise GREAT mowers. Once the keyway and spring get too gummed up to move freely, the rear wheels lock up and the mower doesn't want to turn when you lift the front wheels (push down on the handle) to make a corner.

[@doublewide6]

A LeBlanc I am going to clean them up and oil them properly thanks Allen.

[@nateintx4098]

A LeBlanc My neighbor put this on the curb for free so I grabbed it and noticed the wheels don't drive it. The question is, is the faulty part inside the transmission being a gear or what you are saying, the keyways and springs? I just removed the rear wheels and cleaned out the area of the spring and keyway. I am curious if I should reassemble without using lube or should I put a dab of grease in there or a spray of WD40 or silicone spray?

[@aleblanc3547]

Nate, Water is the enemy, but wd-40 won't hold up. Use a heavy grease to both keep the parts moving freely and the water out. I'm 99 percent sure it's the springs and keyway and not the tranny. Great mower once you get the drive system going.

[@nateintx4098]

doublewide6 I lubed those parts up and assembled everything properly and the wheels still don't go when engaged. I now assume that the problem is within the transmission instead of being the spring and keyway.

[@aleblanc3547]

Nate In TX I'm shocked because that transmission is nearly bullet proof. If the drive gears are not installed in the the correct orientation, they will not engage the wheels. The other thing I regret not mentioning is an adjustment on the drive cable. Try lenghtening the coupling screw on the drive cable (near the mower deck) by backing it out. If that doesn't help and the transmission shaft is not turning, your transmission may actually be a bad one.

[@scottfirman]

I hace one that smokes like a factory. I think it has a brokwn ring or something. It doesnt knock or run bad, just smokes really badly.

[@gregorypiercesr.794]

Great video

[@fredberg8816]

Do you have a link for the seals that you put into the transmission? I have the transmission apart, but would like to replace the seals with new ones before I put it back together.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

That one was a bit tough ! looking for part 2 ..

[@Aylehouse]

Do you know if it's possible to remove the transmission from the rear axle? I have a similar mower with a similarly dead transmission. I don't need the self-propelled feature, so thinking I'd like remove all self-propel-related components to lighten the mower for pushing.

[@2pacnasgame]

Dang I just got the newest honda vka my first lawnmower with a transmission after you said the price of the transmission I should of probably just got a push all most same price

[@dirkdaddy2]

Glad son is doing well! Wondering if anyone knows how on similar model how to get access cover bolt out that's by the rear wheel on model with plastic cover. There's a hidden bolt head but can't find anything in my pretty big tool collection to grab it and another video guy said it wasn't meant to be removed or something. The plastic transmission on this I'm researching how to get at the control arms as apparently the drive engagement arm square hole get hogged out and gets so sloppy it won't work. My mower won't self propel at all, just acquired it cheap but engine runs like a top. For the worn arm I think I'll weld in some filler and file it square or something. Thanks.

[@bluegrassrootstv]

Your tutorials are very helpful Thank you. The belt came off my HRB216. In replacing it I find that the pulley on the transmission is cracked. Can that pulley be replaced or will I have to replace the whole transmission? Thank you very much for your time & help... Jack

[@christophercastano3742]

have same mower, hit a stump and my adapter broke it is the part to attach the blades you mentioned it at 2:57 in the vid, could you send me a link for it if you know where to get parts?

[@tommymann69]

I have a 214 how do you adjust the speed cable keep the cable from slipping back and forth ?????? The mower and spin won't slow down when I shift gears

[@stevecronholm1957]

Do you know if you need to remove the entire transmission as you outlined in order to replace the shift lever cable assembly? This is for a HRT216S3DA. Is that the clutch control cable or the shift lever cable that's screwed down at the end of your video? Thanks.

[@steveridling3947]

Any info on replacing a broken "blade holder" for a 1995 HRT216? I know asking you this a long shot! Thanks!

[@Sooperdooper74]

Do you have the video, of how you removed the transmission?

[@joej.4170]

ever had a gcv160 governor gear come loose inside the motor?

[@obadiah7771]

I have the same engine on my Husqvarna. It has the auto choke system which I hate very much. You mentioned a carburetor for it. Do you have a part number and how would I get my mower to go back to a normal choking system? Thanks for the video!!

[@obadiah7771]

I just caught the link haha, any ideas on how to get away from the auto choke?

[@johnmott5382]

Do you know how to do a valve job on a flat head 4 cycle engine?

[@Idk-zj9cu]

Do you know the MSRP on this mower?

[@rickyrando3034]

I have a Honda when I adjusting the drive cable tomorrow will not pull back easy it's like the wheels locked up but before I just had it it was fine it would pull back easy what can I do for that

[@aliciacarney5013]

This is what my Honda is doing, it is so difficult to pull back! My self propel isn't functioning correctly either after being stored folded during a move. Hoping to get this all figured out, luckily my Lawn Boy cuts like a champ! Good luck!

[@garyt7830]

Taking out the Baffles first is Fundamental .... Especailly to get the belt off, no need to take the Pulley on the engine off, if its ok..

[@chrisgarland2272]

Could they have made it anymore difficult 🙄

[@revivelifeatx]

I have seme one mower when i use just one tire. Run and the other not it noise click clik Thank!!!

[@jackhardman1266]

ramon umana pull the wheel that isn't turning off, it sounds like it's not set on the running gear properly

[@erniecyre971]

Dude use a tripod the shacking is annoying

[@muzikmanernie]

By far the worse I've ever seen just to change that cable....having same issue replacing that 1 cable.

[@jerrygillen3456]

Did you need a puller to get the pulley off? I’m about ready to throw this mower across the street. Went out and bought a punch set but the ends are tapered so that pin won’t come all the way out. I think it’s out far enough to remove the pulley but that sucker is on there good. Any help is appreciated.

[@marshallborder9089]

Would have loved the repair video if it hadn't been for all the advertisements .

[@kCI251]

I'm so disappointed in Honda's design, totally not a Japanese design like Honda products used to be.

[@edhowell9480]

Too long winded. Keep on the subject.
