When the grass bag is full, and I try to run the lawn mower up the hill of our lawn, the self-propelled system does not seem to have enough torque to drive the wheels. Hill is approx. 30-40 degree incline. Wheels do not spin or slide, they just will not turn. Is t here a way to increase the belt tension to increase the wheel torque. We just got the lawn mower yesterday and used it for the first time, so the drive belt is brand new, and will only get worse with time and use.
white smoke comes out after running the mower for 20 seconds
it runs fine for the first 20 seconds then smokes. The problem started after fixing belt for drive wheels that jump off pulley. I tipped the mower on it side the same way i drained the oil. Husqvarna model 917.375820 Briggs and Stratton 6.75HP. Mower is 3 - 4 years old and has been trouble free. I replaced oil 10 running hours ago. I replaced the oil again and replaced the air filter.
Why does it take over a month so far to get a simple self propel cable for my Husqvarna lawn mower to your dealer, Murdochs in Laramie, Wyoming? Very poor service!
working on a awd800 4 wheel drive mower, replaced belt , both gear boxes are turning the wheels, the cable tensions the belt, however the mower won't pull up a hill, any suggestions where to look, the mower will pull on flat ground.
