Great video. It was extremely useful when I was trying to figure out why the self-propelled system stopped working on a two year old Honda HRN216VKCA (Canada model). Following your procedure I discovered a 0,6 cm (1/4 inch) diameter branch wedged between the guide plate and the belt. Once the wood debris removed and the reinstall completed, the mower is again up and running. Your video gave me the knowledge (and courage) to tackle this job. BTW the blade and holder bolts on my mower are 9/16, not 14 mm. Take care.

This is the only video that shows how to properly change a belt on this new model. I just got mine on and it works perfectly. There was a rock lodged in the pulley digging a groove. To adjust the cable length per Honda manual: With engine running start tightening down the nut until the mower barely creeps forward on its on. From that point reverse it 5 full turns and lock it down.

I just got an Ego cordless, battery-powered self-propelled mower to eliminate gas engine maintenance. I'm 70-years-old now, and feeling it. So, I cleaned up the Honda to make it shine for photos on Internet selling sites. Then I started it and pushed the thumb-buttons, and NOTHING! No warning. Just suddenly no transmission. I think it's the belt, or at least I hope so, so thanks for your video. Hopefully, I can sell it for a good amount once I've fixed the problem. Shouldn't be a problem selling a lightly-used, 3-year-old Honda in very good shape. 👍

Great video, but there was one thing that I had to do differently. The most difficult part of the belt change for me was dealing with the fact that there was no way my hands would fit in there to remove/reconnect the cable, and more importantly the spring. The bracket holding the spring fell out while it was hanging loose, which seems like something that would happen to most people. And there is no way in the world I could get my fingers in there much less my hand to reinsert the backet. For a quick job, I spent 80% of the time trying to find a way to reconnect the spring and the cable without being able to reach either with my hands. But, when I removed the rotating liner, which you suggested not to do, I was able to reach through and access both easily. So for someone like myself with large hands, I most definitely recommend removing that as part of your process.
@TheLawnmowerLady
Жыл бұрын
Glad it worked out for you. When I did this repair, obviously that bracket didn't fall out on me, I didn't even realize it was a problem until some others asked about it. Quick look at parts diagram let me to where it should go. Maybe the tension on the cable was enough to not fall out? Thanks for watching.

Greetings!!! I got one of these mowers last year for $60brand new. It had been returned to Lowe's where my boyfriend works. The customer stated the self p r open option wouldn't work but the belt was perfect and in place. I turned it over to see what was "actually" happening under there. The belt was fine but loose. I watched this video and you loosened the belt wheel with the tensioner on the handle. I went to see if it was tight and sure enough it was completely loose. I tightened it up and it works perfectly. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I have a Husqvqrna self propelled 6.75 model 96143001200. I paid $50 for it and was told it ran the year prior and had been under dry cover porch where it was when I picked it up. It won't start and I'm not sure what I need to do to get it going. I'm starting with a tune up. The funny thing is it has a plastic "key" on the handle I'm not sure what it does

Happy to help. Sounds like that Husqvarna has or had an electric start. Unless the blade brake releases, the engine is still grounded out, like the dead man handle is not fully engaged. Hope this helps. Start with the basics: Spark, fuel, and air. You can tap all three by squirting a but of fuel into the throat of the carb. If it starts and runs for a second or two, you've pin-pointed your problem: fuel. I should do a video on this...

EXCELLENT VIDEO. Really, you did a wonderful job of explaining every step, and making it accessible to a common homeowner. SUGGESTION: I'm not positive, but I think that the only direction it's safe to tip that engine is towards the right (as if you were draining the oil) as you did in your video, and that tipping it other directions can lead to oil getting places in the engine it's not supposed to (or leaking out and making a mess). If I'm wrong, disregard this. If I'm right, I think that would be important to insert (text overlay?) into your video at that point around 1:52. ALSO, at 4:49 you put "13 mm spanner" text on the screen, but I just did mine (exact same mower as in this video) and it's actually a 14 mm. Anyway, thank you so much!!

Thanks for the great video, it certainly helps all of us. Just wanted to add a note on the transmission pulley - both sides of the pulley you'll notice a dimple protruding out along with holes. You need to align them so that they on opposite sides, 180 deg from each other. One dimple will set in a hole on the other pulley, and the same with the other side of the pulley. This is how they lock and align onto each other, if you do not do this, your pulley will not be aligned and will be wider on one side tat the other, and cause the belt to fluctuate. Thanks ALL

Greaat video. You rock Lawnmower Lady ;) I will add one thing. It may sound silly but I'm a long time lawn mower and small engine repairer and it still took me a couple of minutes to figure out. So: if you're working on getting that nut loose from the rear drive pulley and the tansmission won't rotate far enough to access the 6mm flat then just move the lever for the rear wheel height adjustment. Voila... all the room in the world. Also while I used a 6mm wrench I'd suggest vise-grips as shown in this video. My 6mm open end wanted to slip off the flat. I've installed belts (and drive cables) on other Honda shutter type mowers where you literally had to remove all the shutter parts. It is a PITA and makes the job take 3 times as long. This was a piece of cake. Thanks again LML!

Excellent video, thanks. I'm looking at a Honda HRX which uses a "hydrostatic" transmission which I think works differently than the belt drive HRN. That said, yeah, if you use any lawnmower as a bush-hog, you'll have problems quick.

Yes it does! The "hydrostatic" part refers to shifting different gears (speeds) more smoothly. It still involves a belt. I appreciate you watching.

I followed advice on another video and detached the transmission spring.. and it flew off and I had to put the mower upright to get it to fall out. For the life of me I can’t find where to attach that other end to. My drive cable also will not reach to go back on.. so I’m going to try loosening it like you did and hope it will reattach!

It's sort of a flattened Z-bend. look up behind the gearbox, and you will find a slot. Feed the end past the bend, and attach the spring. The spring tension holds it in place. Hope this helps.

I just tried to start mine and it started making a knocking sound. We had some standing flood water around the bottom of the mower deck the other day so I wonder if that had something to do with the problem. I checked and the belt seemed a little bit loose for some reason but I don't think that the belt was broken because it worked just fine the last time I mowed with it. The plastic piece that sets a top. The mower deck seems a little bit loose. Also. I was able to jiggle it a little bit so I'm not sure if that has something to do with the problem. Anyways, thank you for making this video because it's certainly going to help me once I have the time to change the belt.

You'll see a slot up behind that pulley. It goes in at an angle and when you straighten it out, the spring tension holds it in the slot. I didn't show that in the video because that spring never went slack to allow it to fall out. Hope this helps.

Great video BUT what was left out here is that in order to be able to roatate the rear pully for access is tthe need o remove the bracket that the rearmost spring attaches to. If this is not done, the pully will not rotate enough to allow access to the hex nut on the pully. If the racket is not removed it stops the rotation of the pully because this bracket hits and stops at the axel. Because it is such a tight area and when you have big hands this eats up the most time to change out the belt. I had to use a small wrench because a ratchet would not fit into the compacted space. Great walkthrough though.
@TheLawnmowerLady

Huh? Interesting Mr David. I did not have to remove that rear spring, but as you saw, I did force the transmission to rotate, taking advantage of the flex in the baffles. I don't have this mower anymore to take a look. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

One thing I noticed about this tension drive belt system: If small dense debris (like a little pinecone) gets caught up in the drive pulley, you can lose the drive. I was doing an area with lots of those little buggers in mulch mode when this caused my mower to not respond to throttle. The pulley was worth a quick check to clear debris. I thought I dropped the belt, but it was just a stuck pinecone in the pulley guide.

You will find a slot in the deck, sort of behind the transmission that the flat part fits, insert it till you hit the bend and turn it 90 deg following the dog-leg bend. Tension on the spring/cable is what keeps it place. Hope this helps.

My hrr 216 is slightly different. I did have to remove the housing to be able to rotate the trans to proceed my unit has individual rear wheel adjustments and I adjusted the wheel nearest the trans for extra space. When I was done and placed the unit on the ground the rear wheels will not adjust evenly one has to be set higher 2 spaces higher to be even. Prior to the belt change there was no issue. Any ideas. Also, I did remove the spring but re attached it. Tx

Hey there one question , does a bad belt cause your mower to not self propelled? it won’t self propelled , idk if the belt is overstretched , had it for 2 1/2 years now , I have this same exact mower , I greased the wheel assembly’s , and cleaned them out , and didn’t change anything

Does it not move at all? Belt stretch can cause it to not engage well, but it still will go, a little bit. This video covers some other issues that might cause failure: kzitem.info/news/bejne/uGh7uIelspR1anYsi=65dgmXodSsNI88zM Maybe your belt has popped off the drive pulley?
