6 years later - I appreciate you, bro.
No problem my friend
I know this is an old video for you, but I wanted to tell you how thankful I am. I am a single mother, with very limited money, and I was able to fix my lawnmower myself because of your video. Thank you, sir.
Np I’m glad it helped you
Always cool when you here that brother 😊 great job 👏
Thanks for the video! Nothing in the manual about this troubleshooting, so you turned this discovery project into a ridiculously easy task for the rest of us!
Thank you so much. ❤❤ So much! my dad passed away couple years ago. left me the house, all of the tools, lane equipment etc. And the lawnmower stopped propelling… 😫Because of this video I was able to save me some money and repair it myself. Thank you so so so so so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s great news
I watch UA-cam vids as a doublecheck to make sure I know what I'm doing. I like yours for tips that make it easier. Ex: "always flip the mower to the exhaust side", "when you hit something hard in the yard it'll throw the belt everytime". Priceless knowledge for future troubleshooting. Keep it up man!!
i realize Im kinda off topic but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
@Cory Allan flixportal :D
O
Thank you!!
I have a different model, but you showed me enough to get the job done.
You are welcome!
My belt came off above the blade which is just 2 bolts behind the blade. Thanks for the info for taking the front cover off.
Thanks for sharing. I repaired my lawn mower in about 20 minutes... Everything was just like you said. It made the repair super easy!!!!
Thanks Raleigh for the video, I too was about to give away 💰 to a shop for nothing. A simple diy fix, you nailed it. Hope you get those extra hands soon.
Thanks so much! Had my mower running - and self-propelling again! - in under 10 minutes!
This was so helpful for me to fix my lawn mower! When I went to add this comment, I was shocked to see that I had left one 4 years ago! ""Thank you, great video, turns out that the housing I have has two more bolts to unscrew, but we figured it out, and was able to fix it!" That was when my BIL came over to fix it and now it is clear to me why the upper plastic housing that HAD 2 bolts in it and now has only one and is ripped, lol!!!" Apparently I should have just watched the video back then and fixed it myself!! Thanks again! Probably will be back in 4 years.
I appreciate your support and thanks for your nice comments
I have the exact same one. Was under it today bc it just stopped moving. Didn't have much time so I'll be back at it tomorrow but only got the two top ones off. This is a great video exactly what I was looking for. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this video. I felt such a sense of accomplishment being able to fix my mower myself using your help.
Me & My dad just fixed this exact problem with my mower. Self Propel hasn't worked since 2 summers ago. I ran across this video and boom....everything works again! Thanks man! Got my Thumbs Up.
Thanks for posting this video, this is exactly what happened to my mower. Twenty minutes later, problem solved!
Thanks so much! I was afraid to start it but your video made it easy. Appreciation to you for filming this one.
thank you so much this is 10x better than anything troybilt has to offer
Thank you for the video! I had the same issue with my TB240 model. You saved me so much time and money. Thanks!
Thanks for the knowledge my friend, my mower just stopped going forward, I’ll try and fix it tomorrow, GOD bless!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Using the information on this video, I successfully replaced the drive cable on my TB200. I am not very comfortable doing repairs like this, but it worked like a champ. Keep them coming.
I appreciate your comment thank you
Thank you for the video! I was about to send my mower into the shop until I found your video! You saved me easily $100
Awesome I’m glad it helped
Just ran into this problem with my newish self-propelled Troy Built mower. This was very helpful.
Thank you, great video, turns out that the housing I have has two more bolts to unscrew, but we figured it out, and was able to fix it!
Thanks!!! I did it "all by myself" with multiple re-viewings of this video. lol
Thank you ! great disassembly video. Turned out that my TB 200 hadn't thrown a belt, there was no problem with the belt, build up accumulated crud, was keeping the belt from engaging. Once I gave her a good cleaning, and re-assembled There was an initial delay of maybe 2-5 seconds and I was again running to keep up. If it weren't for your video, I would have been in deep trouble with a simple project. I wasn't sure which screws to remove, and had picked all of the wrong ones.
Really tho great video fam
Thanks for the video, just repaired a TB240 based off your instructions.
Your video worked very well for me and I was able to fix my mower!!! Thanks for posting it!!! GOOD STUFF!!!!
Much appreciated, I've had this mower (or close to same model) for 9 years and today was first time with this, there were a few more bolts, but figured it out
Great video. Not the exact mower but helped me to figure out what bolts needed to come out. And...it was the belt that came off.
Thanks for the video- I'll chalk my issue to bad design and hitting a tree route, but I'm up and running Thank you again.
Thank you for sharing this. My Craftsman is nearly identical to this, but had three screws of a different head size along the front. Go figure. Anyway - your video saved me a lot of time and trouble and I'm back up and running. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video. I have a yard machine brand and could not figure out how to take the cover off. The yard machine had a total of 7 screws, but looks very similar to the troybilt . Got it off and fixed it.
Thanks a lot sir,for the removal of belt guard.. hell,I had the wheels off and including the sprockets behind the wheels till I said..just look it up on you tube..
Thanks alot...😂😂😂😂😂😂
This video helped fix my issue. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
This video is amazing and really helped me
Hey thanks for the video! You taught my more than my dad ever did! 😂😂
Raleigh,
Thanks dude, this was exactly right....
Great help - thanks for this. Please note that on my model, there were 2 bolts near the blades. I also noticed 2 others were missing, so I replaced them...
Thank you 🙏 Perfect video brother.
Thanks for the bolt placement information✌
Got it fixed! Thanks a million!
Thanks Raleigh it worked for me
Thank you! Needed this!
I have a slightly different model but I was about to take off more bolts than I needed to. Thanks for the info.
Thank you 🙏. I learned a lot from you.
Thanks man! Saved me a bunch of time and money.
That’s exactly what was wrong with mine. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks, man. Very helpful 😊
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video, helped me fix it.
Thank you for this! My husband is sick with cancer and I was able to fix my mower without troubling him. ❤
Awesome, I’m glad you were able to fix it
Thank you very much, this video help me to fix my mower
Just subscribed, I like how you emphasize about removing the spark plug boot. So many UA-camrs don't do that.
I appreciate your comment
Thank you for saving me some money. Awsome video!
Very Helpful video appreciate very much. Have the same mower and I was about to take out all those other screws
Thank you for doing this tutorial. It helped me out tremendously.
Well done and very helpful!
Thank you! This worked perfectly
Glad it helped you
You may be 'one man'...but...you're 'the man'! Thanks.
Thanks
First off, thanks for the video! My Troybuilt that looks just like yours had additional 3/8" screws. On the bottom where you had 2 and 2 on the edges, I had 1 more in the center. I also had 2 screws holding the back tang of the shroud, those were also located on the underside, but closer to the motor. I was wondering why my shroud wouldn't pull off and then I found the other 3 screws by looking where the resistance was coming from.
Anywho, it worked, by my belt is so stretched out it's time to replace it.
Off to search UA-cam for blade removal video :)
Just saved us a TON of money. Thanks!!!!
Thank you so much for this video!
No problem
Good help, friend... My mower had 7 screws under, 2 over the deck. Probably a different year/model.
Thanks buddy u fixed my mower I was just the hands
Just fixed my mower. Thank you ;)
Glad to hear it is working
Subscribed & liked. You can flip it over the other way when it is empty of gas and your draining the oil 😁
I know you don’t walk around in that southern grass , bare-footed? 😂 nice vid from Indiana.
Thank you so much for this. By far the easiest that's been demonstration that I've found. Question though. What about coming off on the inside?
Thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you sir👍🏻
Thank you
I have that same mower with the same problem. Front wheels were locked up and front wheel drive was not engaging. Took off the cover 7 screws holding it on and the belt seemed OK but the wheel on that little housing was spinning freely with no resistance. Would it be fair to say I need to replace the housing. I finally got the wheels to unlock by pushing the mower backwards so now I can use it as a push mower.
Got a similar mower.on mine the belt is in place but it won't go forward,does the cable need adjustments? If so how would i do that?
Thanks for the vid. Try using various sized tripods. But I get the sneaking suspicions that you don't have the patience for that. Again, thanks for the vid. At least I know where all the bolts are for removal.
I have 3 tripods now, man have I changed over time
Thanks!
is there a way to put more tension in the lever ?
What if you take off the cover and the band is still connected any ideas what it might be
Thank you!
Np
Help, no drive forward once leveler engaged.
Belt did not jump out of pulley.
Two front wheels inner teeth (gears), metal gears & pins& retainer clips are good & cable tightened.
What could the problem be on my Troy-Bilt?
I replaced my cable and the lever is not tight that I fed th cable through. What did I miss? The level is just like a bike brake handle on the right side with a turtle mode and rabbit mode. Also my front guard has 2 clips that go around the bar and latch through a square opening on each side. They are difficult to get back on. In fact, one side popped off just as I got everything back together. Any suggestions? Tricks? I haven't watched a video yet where these were on the mower.
Thank You for your video! My self propel stopped working last fall. I figured I could just do without. NOT! I followed your instructions and was able to fix my mower. I am so happy! Oh and BTW, I'm a 64 year old woman. Girls Rule!
I'm almost 50 and was able to fix mine too! Yay girl power!
Someone threw one of the lawnmowers in the trash. I took it home and drained the tank, fuel bowl, and cleaned carb. Mower started right up.
Great video, this is my exact mower. But I did a girl thing and completely turned the mower upside down when I got baling twine wrapped around the blade. My husband would know better, but he recently passed away. Any suggestions on how to get it started again.
It would be nice to have a way to adjust tension on the belt. Good video.
Thanks, you saved me...
I appreciate the comment
I would recommend hand tools to tighten the screws, ya don't want to strip them out just camping the impact driver on them
Heavy impact them until the plastic makes a popping sound is my rule
Tmsonthr fix of self propelled was just to put the belt back on?
How to fix handle on self propelled mower
Where can I get that plastic cover you pulled off? The plastic piece where you screw into broke off.
Good vid, but it would have been nice to know about that bolt near the blade. Was able to reseat the belt in the small amount of space I had to deal with without removing the cover.
Now is this the reason why my self propel lawnmower doesn’t propel on its own. It runs just doesn’t propel on its own.😅
Most likely
@@BayouRepairGuy thx it sure was the problem, runs great now. You’re the best💯🤟🏼
the ryobi speeds the process but have to watch the torque your exhibiting going into the plastic. Can strip them real easy
Thanks your video was exactly what I needed, especially the comment about "all 3/8"
What is that silver component on the front, same side as oil. Mine won’t start and that seems to be leaking with each start attempt.
I have the same mower and add 1 Tablespoon of Marvels Mystery Oil in 1-1/2-gallons of gas and it prevents the gum/varnish from giving you fuel problems. This stuff also cleans the jets while you mow, and its cheap.
That's a carburetor, haha.
All screws out to remove cover,, axle area comes up but near the motor won't come out
That sucks, these China made mowers are garbage
@@BayouRepairGuy figured it out, 2 nuts on the bottom by the blades for mine
I have a question, do you think that I could turn my non self propelled lawn mower into self propelled? I figured I could just put a belt on the crankshaft and gear it to the front wheels and connect a throttle to it
I have no idea
U might try adding a transmission. I'd find the model that has the feature and locate the parts diagram. I'd then try to find a used transmission, as new tend to be cost prohibitive.
Great video, thanks man. Appreciate the info!! 💪👊👍
My belt is on but my lever is loose I hit a fence and it got loose
The only thing I know to do is adjust the adjustment points on the handlebars where the cable connects
Who’s your cameraman? Ray Charles? Great content though!!
I know I was on my first repair videos, I have a tripod and all kinds of equipment now
I snapped the self propel cable yesterday. No one has a replacement cable for me...help!!! What should I do? I need to mow the yard and don't wanna wait if they have em to order online. Anyone? ☺️
Take the belt to an auto parts store and see if they can match it.
Mine keeps falling off. I'm going to try a new belt, but don't have any ideas beyond that.
Check the belt baffle .
Yea u forgot the two screws under the deck . But good vid thx
