Hello, I watched a lot of your videos and I love your content. I always pay attention to my stuff and maintain it by following your advice !!
Greetings from Quebec city, Canada
Hey Gabriel, thanks a lot for being an awesome fan! You’re smart for taking care of your equipment! You’ll save a lot of money down the road! What videos do you watch most on garage gear? Lawn care? Small engine stuff? Auto detailing?
@@GarageGear I would say a bit of everything, but in particular small engine stuff !
@@gabrielteed889 awesome! Those videos are pretty much a staple here on the channel. Probably will never be a shortage either! Lol
@@GarageGear - As a Honda mower enthousiast since 20 years : the HRD536 pro spec has bearings 😊 and a better engine and air filter and carb.
Price : +- 1800 dollar.
This is the only video that showed where that little tab goes on the inner shield . Thank you for showing it in detail .
You got it whip! Thanks for watching! 👍
Im going to try this on my troy bult on the next oil change. Thanks for the tip.
Go for it! Your mower will thank you!
I love how those Honda's look. I'm with ya on greasing the wheels. I fluid film the entire undercarriage of my vehicles and they look new 5 years later. Great vid as always JB 👍🏼
Awesome John!! Your absolutely on the right channel lol! I used to fluid film my underbody on my vehicles but got tired of getting covered in oil lol. Now I just take it somewhere and have it sprayed for $60 once a year. No way the thing is rusting out. Thanks for watching another my friend!
Your channel gives so much good information....to the point as well....no long boring speeches.
Hey Blair, people can go on the weather channel for a report lol! I like to get right to the point! 👍thanks for being a cool fan!
Couldn't have come at a more convenient time!!! My TORO Super Recyclers have grease fittings on all 4 wheels, so I just bought a grease gun and connector piece for the zerks. I might just take the wheels off to see what's what... especially because of the plastic gear psrts on the drive wheels.
Go for it Fred!! I would just throw it on anyways! Couldn’t hurt! It’ll take you a beer and ten minutes! Have fun! Thanks for watching! 👍
Great video! I just bought a new Toro and while storing it for the first time (Smartstow) I noticed the front wheels were extremely difficult to spin. Pulled them apart and there was no grease, only some type of blue material which I had to scrape off. The blue stuff looked like Locktite. It took me some time to remove. It was on the axle shaft and particularly on the axle threads. Like you suggested, I used Red/Tacky (I use that on everything) and put it back together and now it works great.
I wasn't sure if this was a good idea with all the dirt/dust the mower sees but your video sets my mind at ease. Thanks!
Awesome snoop! Grease em up and the spin great! And unless your mowing commercially you really don’t get a lot of grass built up on the axles. Do it once or twice a year and your golden! Thanks for checking out my channel!
Was the blue stuff teflon? Sounds like too little if it was supposed to be. I use teflon grease a lot, the red+tacky a bit less, both are good.
@@atlantajunglepythons1744 hey Atlanta not sure what blue stuff you’re referring to! Can you give me a time stamp? Thanks for watching!
Greased the lawnmower wheels this weekend and while doing so was singing Rollin' ......I believe it is a requirement. Go Bills!!
ROCK ON Count! Lol! GO BILLS!!!
I’ll try this. Makes sense. I’ve never touched my mower wheels.
Keep ‘em rollin’ Sam! Thanks for watching!
Same. Going to do this tomorrow after I install the hour meter on my snowblower
First time I have ever seen any of your videos and I really appreciate the limp bizkit reference
Awesome John! Welcome to the tribe!
Owning this mower would be badass!
Thanks for watching Tim! 👍
Your videos are very helpful, thank you 👍
You got it Floyd thanks for watching
I may do this next season since Honda already has it on new Honda mowers. Good maintenance tip
Definitely a good thing to do! Thanks for watching Honda fanatic!
@@GarageGear think I can do this to my HRX217HYA? It’s got sealed bearings
@@appleztooranges definitely! I will cut the friction down for sure! 👍
@@GarageGear I got that red n tacky grease too. I use it on my snowblowers. Works great even in cold weather!
@@appleztooranges it’s awesome stuff all around!
great video! I mow my elderly nieghbors yard, she purchased the same exact mower a few years back. Ive been keeping up the maintenance on it per Hondas manual etc. Appreciate your advice on lubing the wheels. One question i have is, do you have a video that shows how to make the rear wheels move freely? Her mower rear wheels are "locked up", i just lift the rear of mower when i have to move the mower prior to starting. Is there a easy fix for this without removing the rear gears/springs etc? thanks for any tips!
Hey AI! Appreciate the positive feedback! On some older John Deere models there was a simple spring that was only about 1.5 inches long that pulled a small lever back on the transmission allowing you to back up. Without it you could back the machine up. I’m not sure if these transmissions have it or not I’ll have to give it a look. I’ll see what I can find out. Thanks for watching!
I always afraid to remove my wheels,
I need wheels , mine are bald.
Great video,
I just spray d40
@@edgardomatos6923 hey Edgardo! You could always order new ones. Shouldn’t be hard to find them. Thanks for watching as always my friend!

Great video JB! You have earned a sub for sure. I have a question, I just bought a brand new Honda HRX217VKA and I love it. My question is specifically greasing the wheel bearings. How do you do it? I know you said to re-pack them which I can do but if you could, make a video on how to do it or just tell me. Thanks again for the great video.
these mowers do not have bearings. just a shoulder with a bushing. just throw some grease on there, you’ll be good.
@@lukeWiz44 the hrx does indeed have wheel bearings. The hrn does not. If you see in my comment, I said hrx. JB even says the hrx has wheel bearings in this video: th-cam.com/video/jFjudX7wm94/w-d-xo.html
At the 44 second mark…
@@xlxphoenixkingxlx So let me get this straight, you have a broken down engine as your profile picture, yet you don’t know how to repack bearings on a lawn mower??
@@lukeWiz44 why are you personally insulting/ attacking me now that you realized you’re incorrect? Or is that just a defense mechanism?
I know how to pack bearings its not hard. However, since this question was directed to JB/ garage gear and not some rando on YT, Ill wait for his response. And since you didn’t know about the whole wheel bearing even existing on those lawnmowers I would appreciate it if you kept your opinion to yourself as well as your insults.
But if you must know, It looks like a sealed bearing, meaning no re-packing. Is it a bearing that will last the life of the mower? Is there a way to grease it even though it looks sealed? Is it pressed into to wheel requiring a new wheel or is is a bolted on assembly that can be easily replaced?
These are all questions I have for JB and not for you.
@@xlxphoenixkingxlx Good lord old head, it’s a lawnmower. your .2 acre yard isn’t gonna stress those bearings all that much. the original bearings will probably outlast you, but that’s not saying much.
Hmmm. Some wheel axles I will lube, but only if the wheel has a steel bushing inside. Many do not, and solid plastic wheels should remain dry (be mindful of that). As far as the rear gear...remove it, clean it, and regrease it, and reassemble. The small pieces inside most gears of this type require grease, not a spray on oil.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks J B, I lube my wheels, but now I'll be pulling them off. Can't wait to see what I will find.... Ha!
You might see some grass clippings in there. It’s expected. Clean and re grease! Thanks for watching!
So funny and such a coincidence you speak so highly of fluid film! I work on the railway and ALL the railcar mechanics SWEAR on fluid film and it seems each one of them ALWAYS has a can on them 😂
Hahah great stuff! 👍
I kind of hesitate with greasing mower wheel since they might attract dust even more. I agree 100% with snow blower tho.
Hey cuong, I did a video on this on my timemaster on instagram. No grass inside to report. You can check it out at garagegearjb. Thanks for watching!
Would you happen to have a link to replacement tires....btw...love the videos
Thanks a lot Mo Dill! Here is a link to the rear wheels! amzn.to/3jQjh6Z
We’re you just looking for the rears or the fronts too?
Just installed the hour meter on mine lol. Thanks for the idea
Awesome Jacob! Handy device to have on your mower! Thanks for watching!
I was curious as to what y u chose this model vs the others especially the HYA ? I chose the HYA as I admire their Hydrostatic transmission and I like the plastic deck . I bought 2 more brand new in the box just to have because when they are gone they are gone like the 1970 Hemi Cuda . Gone baby gone . It really is tragic . It’s a big deal I’m trying to to share with people in my orbit to get one
It what I could afford at the time and it’s a budget friendly mower many people look at.
@@GarageGear o ok . I hope I didn’t come across bad . I just ask u never know what people will say . Sometimes it’s little differences that steer a purchase one way or another . I’m afraid of coming across aloof as I never have had a concern with money or expenses but I feel for people that go through experiences that are financially related especially today people are trying to to survive with this terrible inflation . I love watching your channel . I enjoy your explanations and demonstrations ,& humor . 👍
@@marklloyd4153 didn’t come across bad at all my friend! In the early days of the channel I was on a tight budget. Had to be resourceful. Appreciate your positive feedback mark! 👍
Having seen this video, when I bought my lawnmower I did the same . Thanks for sharing top information. Greetings from Portugal.
Thanks for being a fan from across the pond. Awesome!
GOOD VIDEO. THANKS
Thanks for watching James!
My Honda hrr216vka I bought 10 years ago the spring finally went. The rear wheel wouldn’t engage. I had to buy a new gear. If I knew about this years ago I’d probably be fine with these procedures!
Hey bud! Funny you mention this. I just had someone comment saying you should never do this with no reason given as to why. And here you are saying, that had you known about this, this probably would have saved you some trouble. I’m confident this keeps things moving well for years. How’s your machine moving now with a new gear?
@@GarageGear awesome! I actually gave the mower to my parents. They love it. I’m using your procedure for my new mower Honda HRX217HYA
@@appleztooranges ROCK ON brother! 👍
That bad boy was running like a well oiled machine.
Ready for mow day at a moments notice.
You got it! 👍
I'm going through inspecting this exact mower before using it for the first time (brand new). On the rear wheels I'm noticing that the left one (the side with the air filter and mulch/bag selector) does not spin nearly as freely as the right one does. I'm wondering if this is a sign of a potential problem, and if both of the rear wheels should spin as freely.
Thanks for the video, and any help you might be able to provide!
Tough to say without seeing it in person. Keep the back gears lubricated and see how it drives around. Keep me posted.
@@GarageGear Sure thing! I think what I'm about to do is go to a nearby honda power equipment dealer and see how the rear wheels on one of their display models act. With it being a completely unused mower I'd think that if this is an issue it can be addressed without me having to put in the labor.
@@GarageGear Update 1: While the left rear wheel on their display model's behavior was similar to mine it did spin a bit more freely. Like yourself the person I spoke with suggested that it might be okay and just needs to break in, but also thought it could be a good idea to return the mower.
When the weather permits it will be time to take it out and see how it goes. I'd definitely advise on doing a decent inspection on the mower before using it for the first time. In mine so far I found that the spark plug was gapped smaller than the manual recommended (.021") and was on too tight. I found the over-tightening issue to be the same with the blades also.
Torque wrenches are your friend.
@@nosilverharbinger thanks for sharing this silver! I’m sure it will help someone out!
@@GarageGear No problem! So far the mower has about 6 hours on it and been running great. The left rear wheel just needed some run time to loosen up a bit as it now spins much easier. I've changed the oil twice, and a spare set of blades are on standby for the change not too far ahead.
I keep the deck clean and can say that the mower mulches like a champ. I don't think that it bags as well as the GCV160 equipped HRR216. It does about average at that, but seems to make up for it in the mulching department where I think it is noticeably better.
I use red n tacky for my snowblowers as well
Great stuff! Works for many applications!
Interesting video. Not sure I agree with lubing rear wheel gears. It's ok if you have a new mower but old ones may have broken plastic covers.
Hey Martin, if the company making the mower greasing then does it, it’s okay to do so. Replacement covers are fairly inexpensive if a new one is needed. Thanks for watching!
Now I know yall be lovin' this shit right here.
L.I.M.P Bizkit is right here.
People in the house put them hands in the air.
'Cause if you don't care, then we don't care.
Trust me! If I could have this song playing in the background of the entire video I would! Stupid copyrights 😠it’s a classic!
I accidentally got some tacky grease on the screw thread of the wheel and can't fully re-tighten the bolt now (infinite turning). I also can't unscrew it to wipe off the excess grease because of the same issue. Any tips? LOL
Hey Chris sounds like you stripped the threads. You may want to call Honda about a replacement wheel bolt/nut. Let me know how it goes!
Great video. Never thought of this!
Thanks R! I’ve been doing this for decades! I usually do it at the end of the season. That way everything is ready to roll in the spring! Keep on Rockin my friend!
Might be a dumb question but..... Could I remove the wheel linkage and add adjusters to my left side wheels? I want to be able to adjust each side independently and currently they are linked front and back
I don’t think you will be able to do that on this model!
With all that grease are you not worries about dust and grass clippings getting stuck on it?
Edit: saw you addressed this at end of video, I also found that the tread will wear long before the bearing or wheel itself will

The grease won’t attract dirt and grit and eventually affect the spinning of the wheels?
Hey Doug good question! A little grass and dirt may get caught up in there. Depends on your yard. I usually do this procedure every fall. Give the wheel spindle a quick cleaning and regrease for the next season. I did a video a while back on my Instagram that showed how little dirt and grass actually got stuck inside. It’s minimal. Thanks for watching!
I made a Reddit honda mower page. I’ll link this channel to it. Thank you
Thanks a lot my friend! Appreciate it! You ROCK! 👍

Thanks a lot Tim! Appreciate the positive feedback! 👍 What do you like seeing most on the channel? Lawn care? small engine stuff? Detailing?
@@GarageGear like it all. Come from a diy family & startled detailing at Ferrari of HTX, late 70’s. Products are so much better now. Enjoy your work!
@@tjjoseph333 awesome Tim! I’ll keep it all coming on the channel! I bet working at Ferrari was a fun job! Thanks for being an awesome fan!
Ahhh I can smell the fluid film way over here!! 😋
Nothing else out there like it! You’ll be seeing more videos with it! Rustproofing season is coming ! 😉👍
The plastic wheels are self lubricating and dirt will not stick to them. Introducing grease into the equation only serves to attract dirt like a magnet and your wheels will in fact wear out sooner.
Thanks for watching!
What's the best degreaser to use to clean the old grease and dirt off prior to re-greasing the gears?
Super clean works really well on most applications. I use it for all kinds of stuff. Thanks for watching!
I removed all the grease from the gear teeth, it collects sand and causes quicker wear between the mower and wheel gear connection. No grease means the sand/dirt/grass doesn't stick as much, and can easily be blown/washed off. That crunching sound as you are moving is sand in your grease on your gears. Same effect as sand between your teeth, not good. Dust covers aren't dust proof. By all means, grease the wheel and gear axles, just consider not greasing the gear teeth.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video man! Well explained and good footage.
Thanks a lot! Thanks for watching
So if you have a push mower, just do the front wheel process for the back too, since there is not gears..?
Yep same exact process! It will roll nice and smooth for ya! 👍
What about dry graphite?
I suppose that would work too!
Be funny if harbor freight decided to sponsor a video and it be this one. I'd laugh
Haha thanks for watching John!👍😂
I am guessing that dry lube might work just fine?
I would say so
@@GarageGear Thanks.
Doesn’t the grease attract grass clippings and dirt?
Good question! If the gears have a cover inside the wheel then very little grass will get on them. And if you check them once a year they should stay relatively clean!
Good basic info. All the sound effect tho....
Thanks for watching!
Wonder if Honda would say this voids the warranty 😂
I’m sure in their minds just turning it on voids a warranty lol! But in reality I think this would only lessen the wear and tear on the wheels.
What model Honda is that again?
This mower is a Honda HRN216VKA. So far I’m really impressed with this mower! I have it linked in the description. Thanks for watching Corey! 👍
Forgot dust cover.

you should never grease the pinion gear or the gear on the wheel. dirt will stick to it and wear out the gears much quicker.

Can you please elaborate on why? I was thinking of doing it on mine then got to thinking dirt will stick to the grease if it gets in there. I repair alot of mower for friends so really would like to know. Thanks
@@AlwaysBeSmart674 Grease will make dirt particles adhere to vulnerable components in the gear wheel, and will cause it to fail prematurely.
