    Question:
    The front wheel (left) turns more than normal and in the process gets stuck while mowing. I recently replaced the steering wheel adapter to fix the steering problem but now faced with this new one. Can someone please tell me what I need to do fix the problem?

     Thank you for contacting the Answer Army.

    Sorry you are having issues with your Weed Eater One mower.

    On a few of these mowers, the axle will allow the wheels to go "over center" and temporarily stick. There has been a axle update to keep these wheels from going "over center".

    Please contact an authorized Weed Eater dealer in your area for evaluation and repair.

       Hi Doug,

      Appreciate your response. Is this something I can do it myself as I may have run out of warranty? If so, can you pelase tell me what the part numebr is and I can order it online.

      Thanks,

      Vijay

       Warranty may still be active. Are you the original owner? Do you have the original sales receipt? Please contact an authorized Weed Eater servicing dealer. If he needs assistance, he may call Technical Service.

       Unfortunately, I am not the original as I bought it from Craigslist. I called one of the authorized dealer in the area and explained the problem and your suggestion about the axle update but he wasn't sure what would cause it. I was hoping, I could do it myself if you told me what the part number was and I could order it online.
