- Hi and welcome to Micks Mowers.
In this video you will see how to fix a drive problem.
This mower came in as a part exchange with the drive not working, with a quick inspection I found the gearbox to be at fault.
with a little work I was able to find a second hand one and install it.
the part only cost £9 so it was very cheap.
lets get down and dirty and get it fixed
Hi mick are all mountfield rear drive axles the same length. Thanks Alan
No mate .. some are different...
Just want to pick your brains mick, a costumer of mine, the drive is going slow, would that b grass and rubbish in were the belt is, which is slipping the belt on the drive. Don't know the make of Lawnmower, thanks Derek.
Might be the belt or cable mate
thank you for your help, love watching you mick. Can you send me some free stickers for my kids please. Heres my address

Hi Mick good explanation of how you replaced a rear axle . Just a couple of points for everyone there are a couple of different types of cable and cable connections for the Mountfield so be careful you get the right axle for the clutch cable you have or its another expense for a cable Mick did you check the 2 bearings as these usually go especially if the gear box was shot. Waiting for the carberator video to fix the priming issue. Thanks for sharing pa
Yeah you need to know what cable fits what mower but this was listed as what I needed and the same year.. the barings were fine.thanks for the comment bud.
Have you tried filming with your phone or another device whilst they run and compare with the original footage?
alte _12 not yeah as we have bad weather at the moment
Hi Al, I hope the Mowers are going well, My GHS Diaphram & Gaskets arrived this Morning, so will compare Them against Genuine B&S ones....Been watching Micks Mowers a while now, He`s one of the Best on You Tube. (David)

Hi David nice to hear from you on here! Glad your parts have turned up. GHS parts have been good for me. Be an interesting comparison.
I really enjoy Micks Mowers and love the appearances from Riley! I think I have watched all the videos now and always can't wait for the next one!
Anyway let me know how you get on. Must crack on with my own mowers soon. Got loads to clear. I'd like to make a video but I only have an old gopro2 and have never edited but have alot of interesting stuff. Anyway I'm rambling. Must go. A break from the rain. Had to have a brew and watch this video.
All the best to both you David and Mick and Riley.
@@pigeonworldforum3869 wow what a lovely comment my head will not be able to get out the shed lol. Yeah I have fitted some new ones and sat them in petrol for an hour and it was fine.
Should have a go Al, Mower Repair Videos seem very popular at the moment , its interesting and informative to see how other Repairers do things, especially if Viewers are struggling with something in particular Themselves, and can get some Help or Tips from watching.
Yes, its worth checking Mick I have had many mowers with bent cranks and they oscillate the pull cord and vibrate as well. Another thing that causes the vibration is an out of balance blade. It could be that as well.
retrorestore yeah I have a new blade balance device so will have a look. Ta mate
how did you separate the cases of the transmission?
Big screwdriver mate
I tried screw driver, chisels, knife etc. No luck.
tappets suffolk punch
Hi Mick try any parts not cracked solution of washing up liquid spray all round carb and pipes just check any leakage also Mick your Mike on your Camera at a distance is not very loud close up good let me know kind regards David Brewer
Ok mate ta
new skills learnt on the job if you dont try how will you learn or know you can do it fantastic
Good job Mick . Them springs can be a pain sometimes a bit of twine can pull it in place.
Cheers Pete.
Pete Froud yeah mate I did that with the hatter higher control spring
Nice job Mick just 2 points to help you if you do another one do the cable first before you put the side spring on pull the cable through a bit more and lift the axle out to put it on then the side spring I find it a lot easier especially with your shovel hands lol 😂
It only took so long because you rang me up mate lol
Yeh go on blame me lol
Roys the boy lol
to bad you don't have any riding lawn mower videos but great video other with great tips
Yeah mate.. not a massive call for them over here..
Did my 1st one last Friday it's a bugger but did it bot too hard lol great vid mick...👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁👌
steve barker yeah they are tricky but stick with it
@@themowerman it was on a aldi mower gardenline I think have not fueled it yet or put oil in gunna try it tomrw 🤞🤞🤞
Hi mick I have a castlegarden pg 140 5 speed manual ride on that jerks in gear nd loose nearly all power when going up a slight hill any help what it could be
Start with the belts mate.. if not it will be the gearbox or dog clutch I would say
@@themowerman might be the clutch ???? because when it's hot some times the blades won't engage to cut hopefully that's it cheers mick
very informative video well done.
Last time I had to do a gearbox change i was informed that there was some choice words coming from me garage lol!! Oh and me Riley says Mow Mow Mick tidy your workshop lol!!!
Ok ok I will get on to it lol
Yea me Riley is a little bossy at times!!
@@mattstubbington8805 lol mine Is the same
Haha must be a Riley thing then lol!!
hi Mick could you do a vid on mowers that backfire , I have had a few in past cheers norms mowers
Hi to be fair if a lawnmower backfires it probably thr timing. Flywheel key. I do have one to look at as it snatched the pull cord back on me
@@themowerman thanks Mick
Richard Norman no worries mate
how to adjust tappets on suffolk punch 43S
You mean the values
Good work Mick. I also had an issue with those wheels on some mowers, most have a plastic ring gear going around the inside that gets stripped out so I had to replace the wheels a couple of times as well. It's good that you found a second hand transmission, new ones tend to be a bit pricey.
Yeah they were over £75 new and that is not worth doing
Nice job mick
barry bakewell ta mate
Great video! The wheels on my mower lock up when you try to turn or pivot on the back wheels. Took the gear box apart and all looks fine. Any ideas?
What mower Is it

@@ryanhichens8832 check to see if the wheels needs oiling first it may be something simple. The belt could be getting snagged up also so remove your belt cover and remove any grass with in it. (Remove the ht lead first )let me know how that works
Micks Mowers belt already off and guard. The bearings for the real wheels were gone so I've replaced them. Run freely now. Both wheels turn together, should they not turn independently to allow pivoting on the rear wheels?
@@ryanhichens8832 yeah they should it sounds like the axle has locked up somehow. Did you take the keyway out of the axles. They are on the ends. If so you may of put them back in incorrectly
HOW TO ADJUST THEM RAY
Never had to to them so dont know..
