Fantastic 2 part series mate, lots of detail, honesty and you didn’t miss anything out. You can’t ask for more from a video. Thanks again!

[@themowerman]

Thanks mate I appreciate your comment

[@MikeWoof]

Many thanks Mick, watching your vids gave me the confidence to fix the same problem with my553 and saved me loads of dosh.

[@themowerman]

You are welcome mate.. you got it sorted?

[@MikeWoof]

Hope so Mick, just have to connect it all back together and give it a try. I have the tablet with your video on, sat on the toolbox following your every step.

[@themowerman]

@@MikeWoof good luck

[@offshoretinker]

Thank you so much for this Mick. I now know what the problem with my failed gearbox is. I've found a guy who will refurb for £150, so not worth the grief of doing it myself.

[@themowerman]

That's a really good price

[@offshoretinker]

I thought so too, however he hasn't got back to me, so looks like I may have to do it myself. Could you give me a link to where I can get the parts?

[@b.2221]

Fantastic to see someone do this with your unique style of presentation. With proper treatment and basic maintenance I bet that beauty will run for years. One of your best videos Big Fella and well worth the wait.

[@themowerman]

Ta mate .. it's a long video but has lots of information in it.. so wanted to get it all in.. runs great now .. ta for watching

A fantastic job mate fixing that gearbox for that kaaz she is a good runner and pull alot better now

[@themowerman]

Yeah baby.. pulls like a train now

[@HardingsGardenandProperty]

Great detail and explanation👍🏻 Do you have a video of stripping a HWS rather than the HRS? I have an issue in so much that the rear wheels will not rotate in opposite directions in order to pivot the lawnmower but I do t want to start taking apart until I know where I’m going. Unfortunately, all the instructions I can find all relate to the roller variant. I don’t suppose you have anything or can point me in the right direction?

[@themowerman]

@@HardingsGardenandProperty try mend it man...

That is a comprehensive how to fix video, warts and all! Ta Mick. Hope you flog it for a good profit.

Nice job Mick. I hope I never have to pull my Honda’s gearbox apart.

[@themowerman]

Hi mate .. they are not that bad.. but it is worth doing

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Nice fix Mick, and good information for anyone wanting to do it themselves

[@themowerman]

Yeah Nev.. I see so many Taht people sell cheap because of a drive problem

[@we177b]

This is a very useful video - many thanks. I have got the same sort of mower. Please can you confirm whether the two halves of the roller are supposed to rotate independently of each other to make it easier turning round corners? On my one both halves just rotate together all the time. I thought they were supposed to have a differential effect but no sign of that in the mechanism?

[@themowerman]

I don't believe they do...

[@we177b]

@@themowerman Thanks mate. That is what I was thinking - some of the old glossy brochures (eg a Cobra one) claim otherwise but they are plain wrong.

[@GuysPlayingWithTools]

When I watch these roller mower gearbox videos all I can think is that I am glad they aren't popular here. LOL

[@themowerman]

Mate they are fantastic

[@niallebenfield-york636]

Hello mate I’ve followed these steps and the mower keeps dropping down on the right side and the roller is not level, what could this be as I’ve made sure everything is tightened up?

[@themowerman]

@@niallebenfield-york636 as you look at the mower from the front.. is it the left or right side.. front or back?

Hi, I ve just last night took the roller of my Kaaz mower, gave it a clean up and greased some of the parts( probably some parts I shouldn’t have), I put it all back together, and now the right hand side of the roller won’t hold the same height as the left(it drops as soon as any weight is put on it, any advice please?

It must be one of the side bolts is missing I would say...

Hey Mick, you mentioned that the liquid grease isn't available anymore! Try searching Semi fluid grease, loads of different types available and is an excellent modern equivalent to the old Bentonite grease found in Peerless Tecumseh gearboxes! Scooped out of the pits of Hell that stuff!!! 😝
