    I watch TH-cam vids as a doublecheck to make sure I know what I'm doing. I like yours for tips that make it easier. Ex: "always flip the mower to the exhaust side", "when you hit something hard in the yard it'll throw the belt everytime". Priceless knowledge for future troubleshooting. Keep it up man!!

    This was so helpful for me to fix my lawn mower! When I went to add this comment, I was shocked to see that I had left one 4 years ago! ""Thank you, great video, turns out that the housing I have has two more bolts to unscrew, but we figured it out, and was able to fix it!" That was when my BIL came over to fix it and now it is clear to me why the upper plastic housing that HAD 2 bolts in it and now has only one and is ripped, lol!!!" Apparently I should have just watched the video back then and fixed it myself!! Thanks again! Probably will be back in 4 years.

    Thank you ! great disassembly video. Turned out that my TB 200 hadn't thrown a belt, there was no problem with the belt, build up accumulated crud, was keeping the belt from engaging. Once I gave her a good cleaning, and re-assembled There was an initial delay of maybe 2-5 seconds and I was again running to keep up. If it weren't for your video, I would have been in deep trouble with a simple project. I wasn't sure which screws to remove, and had picked all of the wrong ones.

    First off, thanks for the video! My Troybuilt that looks just like yours had additional 3/8" screws. On the bottom where you had 2 and 2 on the edges, I had 1 more in the center. I also had 2 screws holding the back tang of the shroud, those were also located on the underside, but closer to the motor. I was wondering why my shroud wouldn't pull off and then I found the other 3 screws by looking where the resistance was coming from.
    Anywho, it worked, by my belt is so stretched out it's time to replace it.
    Off to search TH-cam for blade removal video :)

    I replaced my cable and the lever is not tight that I fed th cable through. What did I miss? The level is just like a bike brake handle on the right side with a turtle mode and rabbit mode. Also my front guard has 2 clips that go around the bar and latch through a square opening on each side. They are difficult to get back on. In fact, one side popped off just as I got everything back together. Any suggestions? Tricks? I haven't watched a video yet where these were on the mower.

    I have that same mower with the same problem. Front wheels were locked up and front wheel drive was not engaging. Took off the cover 7 screws holding it on and the belt seemed OK but the wheel on that little housing was spinning freely with no resistance. Would it be fair to say I need to replace the housing. I finally got the wheels to unlock by pushing the mower backwards so now I can use it as a push mower.

  • @ms-lt3zm
    @ms-lt3zm 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Although posting this video is appreciated, you failed to mention 3 other bolts. Although it’s possible I have a different model, the cover looks identical. There are two under the blade and one in the front center. Following your instructions I removed what you noted and couldn’t remove it assuming there were some simple snap attachment tabs that wouldn’t release. After a great deal of frustration and time until I finally removed those other bolts to get it off.
