Service & Maintenance Question last edited February 10, 2012 by Joe McCormick, tagged Weed Eater One in Weed Eater: Ask & Answer > Weed Eater One publicQuestion:I just bought the WE261 riding lawnmower. I have not yet used it to mow the lawn. I also have a bad vibration as others have mentioned. The mower runs fairly smooth as long as the blade is not engaged. I took the blade off and went to the local service Center. I was told the blade was balanced perfectly and was not bent. When I got back home I reinstalled the blade and still had the bad vibration when it was engaged. I removed the mandrel cover to check the pullies. They turned freely. I then started the mower up again so I could see what was happening with the belt. Once the blade was engaged, I had the bad vibration. I noticed that the belt was vibrating badly. Is it normal for the belt to vibrate like that?Details:Update on 09-22-2010. Some vibration might be normal, but this was excessive. I drove around my garage for about 5 minutes to remove what little gas was in the tank. The blade was engaged. After it ran out of gas, I noticed my hands were tingling from the vibration. This tingling sensation lasted for about 10 minutes. It did not make sense to take a brand new machine to the service center. I took it back to Wal Mart and got a refund.
