Question:

I have a LC 221ah 4 wheel drive walk behind mower. When I disengage the self-propel, the front wheels appear to stay locked and will not spin backward. If I push the mower forward a few inches manually, they disengage and the mower will roll backward.
Is there a serviceable part I can address to correct this?

I didn't see mention of this in your manual (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1150724/Husqvarna-Lc221a.html?page=27#manual}. I have an earlier version of your mower, and my manual instructs users to do just as you described to unlock wheels (e.g., move the mower slightly forward after disengaging drive). This could be designed functionality to impede unintended backward motion, such as on a slope.

Hummm. That is an interesting 'feature'. Thank you for the information, Thomas!
