Honda Lawn Mower HRR Transmission Drive Gears

[@vinnybauer4205]

Great, The mower was given to me...the neighbor could not get it to run correctly. The main problem was he did not attach the new blades correctly. He had purchased a new Honda and his wife loves it. Anyway, some of the other videos got me confused on the correct placement of the pinion gears. It was easy to get me confused...heck I just turned 78. Thanks again, Chief Ken Bauer, USAF (Ret)

Awesome Video..Great. Been working on small engines for 40 years and this is one of the best videos. ..about the belt. I've seen the belt come off the pulley.. Just a simple fix.. New Belt time

[@allenstaley]

Excellent information! Just what I was looking for when I disassembled my mower and didn’t remember the sequence the gears and washers went back on. Very detailed and easy to follow reassembly instructions. Thank You!

[@Aussie_Pest_Popping]

Invaluable tips with relation to the drive gear installation. Made it so much easier mate!

[@jrsca76]

Great camera work & description. Got mine apart and couldn’t remember the sequence to reinstall the parts. Life saver - thanks - now I won’t have to explain to my wife why we need a new mower.

[@paulnewell3897]

I know there will be a really good answer to this question, 'why was there no lubricant in the gear/s on dis-assembly and none on re-assembly'?

[@Dom3l]

Thanks for "dot" side info. Will help a lot

[@chrisbarnes9260]

Great video thanks for posting. My gears wear out every few months, do you think this is a design fault with this model.

Amazingly well done video. Thanks

Great video. Do you have video that goes beyond where this video stops. I want to replace the washer and clips between the transmission and height adjuster. I dis-assembled to the point of removing the height adjuster and 22mm clip between adjuster and transmission, but cannot remove the axle rod. The collar on the left side appears to be fixed to the axle rod so I can only slide the axle rod a certain distance.

[@rexrexford5249]

Excellent video. Great detail, answered many of my questions.

[@tomdayton3399]

What specific brand of spring clip tool are you using? I’ve tried 2, and they are not catching the hold on the clips. It looks like the holes do not go all the way through so I might need a better quality tool.

Thank you so much !! I bought a used but very good condition hhr216 and never owned one before . So was worried why it was abit of resistance pulling back thought a Something was wrong

[@caraqueno12]

bought some and do not have dots or indication of anything , how you know which side it is or just let it click and is good ? /

[@tomturner134]

Fantastic video and great commentary! Mower runs good as new!

[@mrnisbet21]

Thank you for the video! This has been a big help with my repair. I did have a question. If the bushings in the height adjuster do need to be replaced, what are best practices when installing the new bushings? Do they require any lubricant at all? I wasn’t sure since they are plastic. Also do I just use a hammer to tap it down into the wheel assembly hole?

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

They should just slide right in and used proper lubricants when installing

[@mrdroney11]

Thanks for this, helped me solve my one wheel not driving, not a Honda but principle the same . Thanks

[@AngelaI-k7k]

So this might be a silly question but what size snap pliers were you using as I just bought a pair and I think they’re too big

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

They should of came with different size inserts inside a tiny plastic bag

[@AngelaI-k7k]

@@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982 I got three, but I think the head tips are too big. That’s why I’m asking. Is there smaller ones or are they all standard one size?

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Yes my bad, here’s the part# Channellock - 6.5 Retaining Ring Plier (926)

[@SWARLCPL]

Great video, what if your new Pinion Gears have a L or R and no dot ? Thanks

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Should be the same concept, if I can remember correctly L,R should be stamped on each side of the gear spur just make sure both letters are facing the same direction on both axle bolts. Thanks for watching SWARLCPL.

Just curious, Do you know how much oil (I have 10w-30) goes in the transmission? I don't want to put too much or not enough?

[@matthewcaldwell6763]

Can you take all the gears off if the trannie is shot? I did all the regreasing and cleaning gears. Mower rolled backwards. Took it out for test run and everything seemed fine for minutes. Then the trannie froze. Won't roll backwards now or self propel. Yes belt is fine

[@sdott313]

helped a ton, thanks!

[@glynvavasseur6274]

Great video I learned my mistakes.

[@ciphercode2298]

Ive a 2019 hrx217 k6vla versamow that is kinda dragging the left rear wheel and when it does roll its making a clacking noise as it goes around. The drive still works fine. It seems ti only be like that when im pushing it without engaging the transmission. At first i thought it was a wheel bearing,so i replaced the left wheel where im hearing the noise. Noise didnt go away obviously. At a glance the gear looks ok,tire sits nice and straight,shaft seems tight. Im really stuck on this one,please help if youve any ideas.

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Thanks for asking, Have you looked inside the gear spur yet? Making sure the spring and woodruff key are in good shape?

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Also I would confirm where the “clacking” noise is coming from and or isolate the noise. Is it coming from the wheel and the transmission gearbox. The gear oil inside the transmission is just 10W30 motor oil so I would just peak under the deck and make sure the gearbox isn’t saturated in oil, I would all so apply some marine grade axle grease to each wheel gear spur and see if the noise improves.

[@ciphercode2298]

@@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982 I'll give it a look. I've gotta buy me some new snap ring pliers before I can. Broke one side of the one I need. I just sharpened the blades a week ago. I'll start with the key and spring and the grease you mentioned. I've cut alot of wet overgrown grass and I mow alot of hillsides too. Hopefully its something simple,hate to have to buy another transmission. I'll let ya know if I find anything certain

[@rknol-tron943]

After 10 yrs, needed new rear tyres, looked at my (HRX217HYA) gear and there is NO DOT visible on either side. Once i get smaller snap ring pliers i'll see what's up.

[@bobbroyles724]

Harbor Freight has a remarkable snap ring pliers that works on that tiny snap ring . About $5.95, bought one about month ago.

[@AlexV-pf3io]

Why u r talking about dots, arrows - if originals do not have those?

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Then it's not OEM bud, "Install with punch mark facing Left- (inside) Right- (outside)" Thats straight from the Shop Repair Manual guy... Thanks for playing.

[@ivancrawford6107]

Damn I had no idea.

[@lewisburton6207]

dont think he said why the 1 dot on the leftwent in and the 1 on the right was facing out?

[@tomdayton3399]

They both have to be facing the same direction, to the right, so the shark fins face the same direction on each side.
