I purchased a HU800HW mower last year and the drive shaft on the side opposite the cutting height control lever has broken. The end of it was sheared off after the bearing on adjuster arm assembly on that side separated from the plate in the assembly leaving the shaft to rest on the plate instead of the bearing. Eventually, the plate cut through the drive shaft enough that it broke in two. Of course, since that assembly is enclosed in a plastic cover, I only found out what happened after I removed the wheel on that side to see why there was no longer any drive power being applied to the wheel on that side and unfortunately with all of Husqvarna's warranty exclusions, a broken drive shaft does not appeared to be covered under their 2 year warranty.
All the U.S. suppliers of parts and all the exploded view parts diagrams/list show the old transmission but the ordering system forces the replacement "universal" part - which IS NOT universal.
Kit parts include pinions 414734 (RH) and 414735 (LH) and 2 washers. First attempt included no washers (spacers); 2nd attempt included 1 spacer (could not fit both). Did not make any difference.
All drive parts have been cleaned, deburred, and finally replaced.
No help. Is there a replacement kit that solves this problem?
I purchased a 7021P push mower a month ago. Last week it shut off by itself on its 4th use. I tried to restart it but could not pull the cord. The next day I tried to start and it worked again. Is this an engine problem?
