Service & Maintenance Question posted February 2, 2017 by David Flanagin- Service & Maintenance Question posted June 25, 2012 by William GilcristQuestion:Not a question a Statement the Weed Eater Ones are.
The shop has had to reset the Reverse and Neutral twice. Two Mowes later it is out again. and I dont know how to adjust it so it will work in Reverse and Neutral junk.Details:I have two of these Weed-eaters one riders. In my opinion they are junk. One I had the break cable come apart. Then a rear tire the air valve on the tube broke off. So to the shop under warranty.
The other one same thing. Except two rear tires and one front tire and you cant find a tube on the market for it. It has to be ordered. So I used a standard 3.50 and had to cut a wire of the inside of the tire where it is coming apart.
So I have written the Military PX and BX AFESS and asked them to remove them and not sale anymore. I have exsplained the problem and they are falling apart.

It is pushing left when attempting a right hand turn, actually skidding on hard surface. Gentle turns Ok but can't turn tight. I have checked all wheels & front linkage and cannot see any fault. Any suggestions to fix this problem?? Everything else works great, love the mower.
Thx

I was given a weedeater one riging mower last year, sorry I don't have the model/serial # handy at the moment. Last time I tried to use it, one of the rear tires was shredded. So I began the hunt for a replacement tire...it has not been fun. I measured the tire and the wheel hub. The hub measures 2.75". I wanted to buy a marathon flat free replacement wheel, but the options for purchase are for 2.25" hub, and a 3" hub. Does anyone know if either of those will work?Details:

- Service & Maintenance Question posted June 1, 2013 by Mike BrennemanQuestion:Have had the weeeater one ride on about 2 and a half years, gone through 3 belts all replaced at the dealer/ service center where I bought mower. First time belt slipped off was within first 5 uses, last spring had to put belt back on over 10 times in the course of mowing just under an acre, my last mower never had this issue in the 15 years i owned it. Have given up taking it to dealer to have belt replaced, so tried to go there and buy the belt, after 2 visits there they are still unable to figure out which belt it is i need. What is the product or model number?
Another issue I have had is difficulty in maintaining an even cut height. Each time its been serviced deck has been leveled, and I have leveled it countless times but quickly it becomes unbalanced. For the price I was not expecting a professional grade machine but have been suprissed by the flimsiness, rattling and vibration of the mower and am embarassed i bought a machine that can not last a season without an issue
On positive side engine has been reliable, immediate start. - Service & Maintenance Question posted July 13, 2013 by andre johnsonQuestion:When I start the weedeater one it will not brake. It keeps going!
- Service & Maintenance Question posted December 16, 2013 by Manuel PlateroQuestion:Morning,
Customer email me his issue on WE-261
I replaced the transaxle transmission on my we-261
today. Everything went almost ok.
Had a very difficult time aligning the bolt holes on the engine
plate to the transmission chassis.
The mower does well in first gear. anything beyond first gear the
gearshift will not stay in the slots and moves immediately
to highest gear. I usually mow the lawn in second gear, I used a bungee
cord to hold tension on the gear shift to keep it in second gear.
I don’t know how long this will last.
Perhaps you know what could be wrong.
My son who is a mechanical engineer and west point graduate
helped me and I assure you we followed the instructions to
the letter.
The transmission chassis outside horizontal top dimensions are too short.
The engine plate inside horizontal dimensions (existing equipment) is
at least 3/8 inches wider than the chassis and the bolt threads barely
engage, we had to use c clamps.
It was a very difficult fit.
Also I had to pay $362 total for the damned thing. - Service & Maintenance Question posted August 19, 2012 by Lauri RitterQuestion:My front wheels will not turn when I am sitting on my Weedeater one Model WE261 but when I am off of it they turn. What could be causing this.Details:
There is a crack in a plasic adapter for the steering wheel. I have had nothing but trouble with this since I have gotten it and now it is unusable to me.
