- Honda Lawn Mower will not self-propel. How to grease the rear key, ratchet and spring.
If you do not grease the key, ratchet and spring, the rear wheels can lock up. Make sure if you need to order the rear drive gear to count the teeth. There are the OEM Honda part numbers below.

Great video. Mine wasn't self-propelling because the plastic shield that protects the transmission, had a big enough crack in it , that allowed grass clippings, and mulched leaves to pack around the transmission. That prevented the pulley from turning the belt. I removed everything, cleaned out the debris, and replaced the belt. I then repaired the shield with J B Weld. After putting all of the parts back on, it worked perfectly. Now, each time I use the mower, I spray the underside with water, to make sure everything is clean.
Glad to hear your back up and running!
I have a different problem with this exact mower, when I try to engage the blades , the engine stalls and dies. What can I do?
I guess I need to add this to the to do list this week getting mowers ready for storage. Thank you for taking the time to post these videos, they are really helpful to me.
Thank you for watching, the kind comments and supporting the channel.
Good video! I appreciate the detailed explanation and close up video shots too.
Thank you! and Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting my channel!!
"" ...everyone, has an opinion on g r e a s e....'' No doubt. Whatsoever......same as engine oils. Oh well.....on with it ,, SIR . I salute, anyone working with their hands , if only even one, ESPECIALLY ! THANK- YOU FOR YOUR experience. !
I have an issue where the right wheel isn't self-propelling. Do you think I have a bigger issue with the transmission?
When the transmission fails, both wheels will be affected. You most likely just have an issue with the wheel that is not working.
Great video, very helpful and easy to understand. Thanks for putting this up!

Bonjour de Normandie! Dommage qu'il faille traverser la Manche,je vous aurai bien laisser ma toindeuse en révision
Why didn't you put any grease on the gear teeth, especially since there's metal - to- metal contact with the gear in the wheel?
I’ve owned 3 craftsman’s before this Honda and they lasted years. This hunkocrap feels like it’s 10 years old and it’s only 2 years old. Mine isn’t clicking at all. Just rolling very smooth.
?. interesting. I have an MTD mower, front wheel self-propell, and a Honda GCV 160 engine. Just replaced that belt, and adjusted the pull cable length, to ' MATCH '... / Goes full - bore, now. ONward ho.....?.....mow i mean. moe ? some days , i am a ' m o e '. ....probly everyone, has those ' days '.....
I turned it on its side and cleaned out the grass from around the transmission I guess you would call it and now it works. It probably just stopped self propelling because I was cutting grass with it ?? Go figure.
Ive got the newer hrx217 with the gcv200. My issue is the self propel wont work. The ratchets are clicking when moving forward with or without the self propel lever engaged (engine off). When i engage the self propel lever and pull backwards it rolls back and the axels spin (engine off). Manual says it shouldnt do this.
Also the transmission cable wen engaging the self propel lever on any speed only moves the lever on the transmission a little bit. Maybe about 1cm ish. Ive tried adjusting but thats the max i can get. Any help?
Do you know the PN# for the gasket to the Transmission plate for a hrr2166vka af?
bro. great video. I was looking for a differant issue with mine, but this one will tell me what to look for as I work on the actual issue I'm having. (no propell all adjustments maxed out)
THANK YOU! I need to do this to my Honda push mower. It clicks and it hard to push without engaging the drive.
The hard to push without engaging the drive normally is the bushings on the axle. The next machine I get in that has the issue, I will get a video up on that issue. Thank you for watching and commenting.
How about a Honda mower losing it’s self propel as you mow the lawn? The propel is weak but gets weaker ?
Nice job, that is a good customer. Sometimes they never do maintenance until something does not work any longer. Thanks for the video.
Thank you:)
Hey Brad, are you aware Honda is ending Lawn Mower Production? They will be permanently closing their facility & consolidating with another Plant. The Plant remaining open, builds Side by side ATV'S. Lawn Mower's and small Engines are done after 2023. Due to harsh E.P.A regulations. Just heard this yesterday on 'Small Engine DIY' Channel TH-cam.
Ouch! Thanks for the heads up. I was around back when the Honda Tractors were metal not plastic, then they went plastic, then they stopped producing tractors all together in the east. It does not surprise me at all, as the electric is taking over and most consumers do not want to spend the $ for the Honda. I really don’t even work on walk behind mowers and longer. (This video may be 1 of 2 or 3 I put out). Thank you for the update!
I hate that they're going that route,but I understand. Are they stopping all small engine production or just mowers? I love their pro engine line,you cant buy a better engine.
@@ciphercode2298 My understanding 'all' Small Engines. Check out Small Engine DIY his Channel is on TH-cam. He posted the Video Yesterday.
@@steamboatwillie935 man,that's just aweful. I hate the epa.
I bought a used Honda mower.I'm having an issue with backing up and pushing forward. it propels forward fine but push it forward and pulling backward it doesn't want to move.
The rear axle bushings are getting too tight that go through the frame. I know there are a few videos on your issue but I haven’t had one in to perform as a video yet. Keep searching you’ll find a video on it. I can say it is a little involved, but it’s definitely doable and it will correct your issue.
Sufficiently detailed to get the job done on my mower. Mine needs pinion gear, spring, and woodruff key replaced due to excessive wear. Thanks for the assist!
Im glad it was helpful!
Nice one, I just happen to have one of those self propelled mowers. Thanks again
Nice, this will help you in the future or maybe now lol! Thank you for watching and commenting.
You mentioned the internal bushing that will prevent the real wheels from turning backwards. That is the problem I am having. Not sure how to get to those bushings.
There are videos on it but I do not have one at this time.
Hey Karl. I'm having this exact problem.
I'll let you know if I find a solution
@@jamesbenefield9972
I turned the mower on its side and put a sprayed a bunch of silicone on all yyd bearing and that has fixed the problem for now.

What a crap design same as their auto choke Hondas no more
I have literally got just under 35 hours on mine per the digital timer I installed when I bought it last year. The drive stopped on me, and the wheels are locked up preventing rolling back. I hose the mower off after each use, and keep it stored in my garage. Really can't understand why I'd be having this issue on a premium product so soon after purchase. Maybe I washed too forcefully under the deck, but I'm only using the jet stream nozzle on my house. You mentioned something about a bushing that may have something wrong?
I think this is what your looking for. th-cam.com/video/zsHQYJEKY5M/w-d-xo.html
Way to go! Needed to know this about my 20 year old Honda. Didn't know I had to grease the bearings! I hope it is not too late for my lawnmower.
Excellent video, thank you for the tip

Thanks for the video. The issue I am having is the right side starts to turn but when it hits the ground it stop driving forward. I am going to check the gear. I did take it apart to clean and lube it.
This fixed my issue. Thank you!
Is it normal for the rear wheel to lockup to stop it going backwards?
No and depending on the model you have? I have found it to be a plastic bushing on the drive shaft. I I think there may be a video out there but I do not have one. Look for a video on one with a seized axle bushing.
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it and thank you for the kind comment!
Can the wheel bearings be replaced if worn out of do you have to replace the whole wheel?
Check the parts breakdown for your model. Some wheels bearings could be replaced but some would only sell the tire complete.
Great video, do you recommend and c clip assortment pack of any kind. I bent all mine😅
I only recommend the genuine Honda clip. I had a hard time finding the correct size and a good metal clip. Most aftermarket clips are junk (in my opinion). You only need two and if you buy a kit, you’ll never use all of them. Just find the part number at a Honda power equipment parts lookup online and you may be able to get them in your local area if you have a Honda dealership.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines awesome thankyou very much!
Oh boy I really need to do this
what did you use to unscrew the wheel to start with? mine does not budge
If your talking about the bolt that holds the wheel on? Use a 14mm socket. If your using a ratchet or wrench, put a pipe extension for leverage or whatever you have to get more leverage. I was using a electric impact.
Good show I have that unit 12 years been goood.
Thanks for sharing and glad to hear! If you’re going on 12 years, then you know how to take care of it or you have someone that takes care of it for you. Either way glad to hear!
Very helpful thank you. Dave UK

Thanks, i appreciate the help

Oops,I need to do this asap. I've had mine for 4 years and havent done this. I dont know where my manual is,so is there anything else I'd need to look at?
This video is important, the rest is normal preventative maintenance, oil change, clean or replace air filter, install a new spark plug every now and then and keep sharp blades. The machine will run for ever if you perform those tasks. Take a look at the drive belt and keep debris from under mower deck. Especially if your machine has a metal deck. Keep it clean underneath so rust will not take over. Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting the channel!
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines you're welcome. I keep up all the other stuff,but had no idea about this wheel maintenance. I've mowed my yard and my sisters yard for a couple years and added 3 more biweekly lawns this year. I keep it busy,so I guess I need to take mine apart and give it a good once over. Thanks for the helpful advice. 👍
Great video thank you 🙏
