Complete transmission removal on the Toro Vacu

Power/Lawn-Boy Medallion mower is quite easy and is

recommended for most self-propel system repairs.

1. Remove the spark plug lead from the engine to

prevent accidental starting. Drain the fuel and oil.

2. Place the ground speed selector in neutral. This will

make it easier to remove the speed selection cable

later.

3. Remove the two anged head self-tapping screws

securing the screen panel to the housing and

remove the panel (Fig. 118).

4. Remove the black plastic transmission cover from

the top rear of the housing.

5. Remove the two anged head self-tapping

screws securing the belt cover to the top of the

transmission. Pull the cable from belt guide and

remove the belt guide.

6. Remove the transmission access cover from the rear

of the housing by pressing from underneath.

7. Loosen the gear selection control cable clamp screw

until the cable comes free. Do not attempt to remove

the gear selection cable from the control arm at this

time.

8. Turn the mower onto its right side and remove the

four anged head self-tapping screws securing the

end caps to the housing (Fig. 119).

the cable can be safely removed.
