Hello my Todd, I use this machines for work , I do gardening . I have an issue with the left rear wheel it won’t engage when I run the transmission . Only the right wheel engages , u think is the transmission it self ? Thank u
I have model 20340 and the left rear wheel is crooked. After some troubleshooting I discovered the threads in the arm-pivot cause the shoulder bolt to go in crooked. I tried the shoulder bolt on the other side and it is fine. My problem is the arm-pivot (132-4459) is attached to the HOC assembly by a bearing and bushing with the axle running through them.. How can I get these apart to replace the arm-pivot? Thanks!
@@sprinter144 the retainer bushing(108-9779) that holds the transmission axle bearing, and has a nylon bushing inside, is like a big threaded bolt. It has a hex head, on the inside of the deck area. So the retainer bushing is actually going through the big height of cut (HOC) plate, and then threads into the part that you want to remove and replace. So soak both sides with Kroil, let it sit for a bit, and then use a wrench to unthread that retainer bushing from the plate that your axle bolt threads into.

Remove the rear wheel and inspect.

Thank you! I’ll give that a try.
