WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION GENERAL the mower housing, pivots the transmission forward to maintain tension on the belt. There are two versions of the worm drive transmission. The first is a clutch type and is used on 21” front wheel drive mowers. The second version is constant mesh and is used on International 48cm rear wheel drive mowers. INTERNALLY CLUTCHED Description This is a worm and helical gear transmission. The worm shaft (input shaft) is driven by a belt from the engine crankshaft.
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION Lubrication This transmission requires 90 wt. gear oil. A variable weight such as 85w90 is acceptable as long as the range includes 90 weight. The second part of the requirement is an EP rating of GL 5 or higher. The transmission has a fill/check plug in the front. With the transmission level, fill until level with the hole. NOTE: This is equal to about the center of the axle. Unless the case is cracked, oil can not leak out.
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION Removal & Installation (front wheel drive applications) 4. Remove both front wheels and wheel covers (Fig. 005). 1. Remove the belt cover and unhook the spring on the front of the transmission. Slip the belt off the transmission pulley (Fig. 004). A B C Fig 005 Fig 004 A. Cable Clamp B. Shift Cable 3428-0127 C. Spring 3428-0129 5. Pivot (both) front spring arms forward until they point straight down.
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION 6. Place a block of wood under the wheel pinion for support and drive the roll pin out of the axle (Fig. 007). Repeat the process on the other side. 8. Remove the transmission from the chassis. 9. Reverse the procedure to install. Note: Support the wheel pinions with the wood block while driving the roll pins in. This will prevent the axle from being bent. Fill the transmission with oil after it is installed in the mower (Fig. 009).
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION 2. Drive the roll pins out of the flanges in the front and rear of the case. (These pins align the top and bottom parts of the case) (Fig. 010). Fig 010 5. Push the worm shaft out of the cover. This may require a little pressure. 6. To remove the axle, slide the clutch jaw to the side and drive the roll pin out of the sleeve and axle (Fig. 012). 3428-0146 Fig 012 3. Remove the 4 self-tapping screw that connect the top and bottom cases.
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION 9. Clean the old gasket material from the mating surfaces of the case and cover. 10. A hook or small screwdriver can be used to pry the seals out of the case. 11. An arbor press or large vise will be needed when removing and replacing the bushings. 12. Clean the oil residue and any metal shavings from the case. 14. Remove the screw from the shift arm and remove the shift arm, dust cover, and wear plate (Fig. 015). If the ball bearing is to be replaced, press it out at this time.
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION Assembly 1. Use bushing installation tool P/N 27-0460, to press in new axle bushings. This tool helps keep the bushing straight and keeps the inner diameter of the bushing correctly sized. 3. Note: Some replacement axles have more than one hole that can be used to pin the sleeve to the axle. Refer to the original axle to identify the correct hole to use. Then drive a roll pin through the sleeve and axle (Fig. 017). Note: The bushings are two different lengths.
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION 5. If the bearing in the cover is being replaced, use tool P/N 27-0490 to press it in place. This bearing only has one seal. Install the bearing such that the seal is visible from the top of the cover and the open side faces the gears. Press the bearing in until it is fully seated in the case (Fig. 019). 9. Fill the transmission with gear oil AFTER it is installed in the mower. The top of this transmission is not sealed. It will leak if tipped on its side (Fig. 020).
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION Controls There are two control cables used with this system. One cable operates the engine kill switch and flywheel brake; the other controls the transmission. Adjustment The transmission cable is a standard lever type. Since the spring and pin on top of the transmission pushes the shift fork towards the engaged position, the cable pulls the shift arm to the rear to disengage the transmission. The adjustment point is on the mower housing just to the rear of the transmission.
WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION CONSTANT MESH Description This transmission is very similar to the “INTERNALLY CLUTCHED” on page 1 – 1. However, the helical gear is different as there is no internal clutching (Fig. 022). Engagement and disengagement is accomplished by pivoting the transmission to tighten or loosen the belt. Internal repair procedures are the same, as is the lubrication requirement, 90 wt. gear oil rated GL-5 or higher. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

WORM DRIVE TRANSMISSION To remove the transmission from the mower proceed as follows: 1. Remove both rear wheels. 2. Remove the retaining rings, springs, gears, keys, clutches, and pivot arms on both sides (“Wheel Pinion Clutch” on page 5-2). 3. To check the adjustment, slowly squeeze the control bar towards the handle. The cable is adjusted correctly when resistance is felt when the control bar is approximately 1” (25mm) from the upper handle (Fig. 025). 3. Remove the belt. 4.

SINGLE SPEED SPUR/BEVEL GEAR TRANSMISSION Description 2. Remove transmission belt cover. This basic transmission has been in use for several years. There are minor variations, such as different shafts on the bevel pinion gear to accommodate belt alignment on different chassis. All use a bevel pinion input gear which mates with a combination bevel/spur gear, which drives a final spur gear. 3. Remove both rear wheels. 4. Remove retaining ring, spring, thrust washer, and pinion from both axles (Fig. 028).
SINGLE SPEED SPUR/BEVEL GEAR TRANSMISSION 6. Remove the belt guide. Note the location of the spacer under the front mounting screw (Fig. 030). Do not try to force the belt off the pulley without removing the belt guide. This often results in damage to the belt or slightly bending the belt guide, causing an increased tendency for belt jumping. On some models, removing these 2 screws makes transmission removal easier (Fig. 032). A Fig 032 3428-0121 A. End cap Fig 030 PICT-1880a 7.
SINGLE SPEED SPUR/BEVEL GEAR TRANSMISSION Before removing the parts from the case, note the quantity and location of the thrust washers (Fig. 034). Clean the gears in solvent and inspect carefully. Any damaged gear must be replaced. Also replace the mate for the damaged gear. When gears run together, they develop a wear pattern that will result in premature failure if only one gear is replaced. The exception for this is if the transmission has VERY little running time before failure.
SINGLE SPEED SPUR/BEVEL GEAR TRANSMISSION Assembly Assemble with the correct number of thrust washers. Refer to the parts manual if there is any doubt at all. It is not possible to locate the shafts and bearings in the wrong location, due to differences in sizes. Finally, install the spacer and pulley on the input shaft. The internal gears will help hold the pinion while the nut is tightened (Fig. 038).

SINGLE SPEED BEVEL GEAR TRANSMISSION GENERAL INFORMATION This transmission was first used on 22” steel deck models for 2002. It is used in both front wheel and rear wheel drive configurations. The bevel gear is reversed when used in the front drive versus the rear drive to change axle shaft direction of rotation. In both cases, the gears are in constant mesh. Clutching is done by rocking the transmission to tighten or loosen the drive belt (Fig. 040).

THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION OPERATION Speed Reduction System: Input System: Speed reduction is accomplished by two sets of gears – one set on the intermediate shaft and the other set on the output shaft. The gears on the intermediate shaft are powdered metal and ride on a hexagonal shaft supported on each end by oil impregnated bushings. These gears are driven by the pinion at the bottom of the input shaft.
THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION There are also three gears on the output shaft. These three gears rotate freely on the gear sleeve. The gear sleeve is coupled to the output shaft with a roll pin so the gear sleeve always rotates with the output shaft. The gear selection system determines which one of these three gears will be coupled with the gear sleeve and the output shaft. This determines the final drive ratio.
THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION Removal - Toro Vacu Power/Lawn-Boy Medallion Models 4. Remove the black plastic transmission cover from the top rear of the housing. Complete transmission removal on the Toro Vacu Power/Lawn-Boy Medallion mower is quite easy and is recommended for most self-propel system repairs. 5. Remove the two flanged 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. 1.
THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION Removal - Recycler/Rear Bagger Chassis Disassembly To remove the transmission from the chassis, raise the rear and support it with blocks. Inspection of this transmission can be accomplished without removing the pivot arm assembly from the output shaft. Only if components on the output shaft require replacement will pivot arm removal be necessary. 1. Remove both rear wheels and wheel covers. 2. Remove the rocking key clutches (see “Wheel Pinion Clutch” on page 5-3). 3.
THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION 3. Removal of the input shaft and pulley assembly can be difficult because the input pinion has a tendency to turn as the pulley nut is loosened. This situation can be addressed by using an impact wrench or by removing the 20 (B) and 25 (A) tooth gears (Fig. 122) from the intermediate shaft and then putting the intermediate shaft assembly back onto the transmission. The hexagonal intermediate shaft can then be held with a 7/16” end wrench while the pulley nut is loosened.
THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION Transmission - Assembly The transmission uses 6 oz. (177cc) No. 2 lithium-based grease as a lubricant. When assembling, be sure to coat all moving components with grease to ensure proper lubrication. 5. Coat the shift key sleeve with grease and prepare the shift keys, shift collar, and spring clip for assembly as shown in Figure 124. Output Shaft Assembly 1. Slide the output bushing onto the output shaft, flanged side last.
THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION Input Shaft Assembly 1. If the input bearing was removed, press a new one into the gear case using an arbor press.

WHEEL PINION CLUTCH Wheel Pinion Clutch The wheel pinion clutch has a three-fold purpose. One, when the transmission is engaged, it causes the pinions to move with the output shaft and drives the wheels. Two, it provides differential action to allow easy turning and excellent maneuverability. Three it disengages the wheel pinions from the output shaft when the operator is not squeezing the handle.
WHEEL PINION CLUTCH Test for Function Quick Test Function If you are unsure that the keys are disengaging properly, stop the mower, shut the engine off and push the mower forward a few inches. If the keys disengage the system is working correctly. Start the engine and engage the drive, if both engage they are OK. If one or the other do not engage or disengage properly try greasing the pivot arm. Use #2 lithium grease and only one or two pumps from a hand grease gun.
WHEEL PINION CLUTCH 4. Check all components at this time for damage and wear. Pay particular attention to the grooves at the end of the output shaft, the bearing surfaces on the output shaft, and the wheel pinion clutch components. Replace parts as necessary. 5. Check the innermost groove on the output shaft which is located 2-1/4” (5.7cm) in from the end of the shaft; make sure that the O-ring seal is present and intact. This seal is important to keep grease in and contaminants out.
WHEEL PINION CLUTCH 5. To increase service life, make sure all parts are clean prior to assembly and coated with new grease. 12. Place the wheel pinion key in the groove on the output shaft with the leg toward the clutch washer. 6. If removed, install a new O-ring in the innermost groove 2-1/4” (5.7cm) in from the end on each output shaft, making sure that it is fully seated in the groove. Refer to Figure 171 above. Not all models use an O-ring. Note: There is a left and a right wheel pinion key.
WHEEL PINION CLUTCH 13. Place the wheel pinion onto the output shaft. It is symmetrical and can be put on either way. 14. Install the internally tabbed thrust washer onto the output shaft making sure that the tab enters the keyway. 15. Slip the spring onto the end of the output shaft and secure with the special retaining clip. Again, make sure that the center tab fits properly into the keyway to prevent rotation of the clip (Fig. 173). Fig 173 3428-0040 16.

WHEEL PINION CLUTCH Spring Ratchet Style WHEEL PINION SERVICE The Spring Ratchet type wheel clutch system has been used on a wide variety of models. It consists of a spring supporting a drive key which engages the pinion. When the mower drive is engaged the axle turns the key which is engaged with an internal tooth on the pinion. The pinion turns the wheel gear. When the mower is pushed or turned, the pinion must rotate faster than the axle.
WHEEL PINION CLUTCH 4. Slide the wheel pinion off the axle. Reassemble in reverse order: Note: There is a spring-loaded key under the pinion (Fig. 177). 1. Install one thrust washer, then the first retaining ring with the sharp edge facing the chassis (Fig. 178). A B Fig 177 A. Retaining ring and thrust washer MVC-850 Fig 178 MVC-472 B. Key 2. Lubricate with anti-seize and assemble in the original order. 5. Behind the pinion should be another thrust washer and retaining ring (Fig. 144).

BBC / BOS / BCS BLADE BRAKE CLUTCH SYSTEM (BBC) The blade clutch system offers the customer conven ience to stop the blade while allowing the engine to continue to run. Description Before troubleshooting the BBC deck mechanism, be sure that it is adjusted properly. Refer to the BBC cable adjustment section for proper adjustments. There are two basic blade clutching system designs. The first is commonly referred to as the BBC or Blade Brake Clutch.
BBC / BOS / BCS The normal or “at rest” position of the control bar is indicated by the number 1 in the Figure 181. In order to engage the blade, the operator must first “cock” the control bar down to position 2, then raise the control bar to position 3. Fig 181 Handle Controls The control box components and their functions (Fig. 182) are described below. fig 27 Notice that position 3 is approximately 5” (12cm) below the handle.
BBC / BOS / BCS e. Traction Lever: provides input to the traction cable since the end of the traction cable is retained in it. It also pivots on the upper shoulder bolt when the control bar is moved. f. Rocker Arm: pivots on the upper carriage bolt. It is affixed solidly to the control arm by means of the roll pin. It houses both the control hook and cable lever. It also provides slot and stop for the buckling spring. These components interact to provide control to the BBC deck mechanism.
BBC / BOS / BCS When the control bar is cocked to its lowest position as in Figure 184. The buckling spring is flexed and moved to the right end of the rocker arm slot. Another event takes place inside the rocker arm: The spring-loaded control hook slides over the cable lever and grasps it so that when the lever is raised, the BBC cable will come with it. When the control bar is raised to a point 5” (12.7cm) below the handle, the BBC cable has been tightened enough to engage the blade (Fig. 185).
BBC / BOS / BCS When the control bar is released, the tip of the control hook catches on the leaf spring causing it to rotate. This releases the BBC cable lever, thereby causing the BBC to declutch and apply the blade brake (Fig. 186). C A A. Contact point B. Leaf spring Note: When servicing the BBC control box, be careful not to disassemble the unit any further than necessary as it will then become difficult to trouble shoot.
BBC / BOS / BCS A better method is to make a special cut-away version of the right control box housing half as shown in Figure 187. When this cut-away version is installed, all components will function normally. Notice the cut-away cover and how it houses the leaf spring. This will aid in diagnosis. 12. Pull the tape from the outside of the handle. Remove the upper carriage bolt along with the cable lever and spacer. 13. Remove the lower carriage bolt and remove the left control housing. 14.
BBC / BOS / BCS 3. Place a piece of duct tape over the heads of the carriage bolts that slide through the handle and the left control box housing. This will aid in assembly. 4. Slide the sleeve onto the upper carriage bolt making sure that it passes through the control bar, traction lever, and left control housing. 5. Position the control hook and torsion spring in the rocker arm as shown in Figure 189. Secure with the roll pin making sure that the roll pin is flush with the side indicated in the figure.
BBC / BOS / BCS 8. Slip the white nylon washer onto the J end of the buckling spring. The slotted side of the washer should face away from the end of the spring. Slip the spring into position in the rocker arm and the left control housing as shown in Figure 191. 10. Before installing the right control housing, check to make sure that both cable sheath ends are fully seated in their slots in the left housing. Also make sure that the sleeve passes through all components including the left control housing.

Remove the spark plug wire.
BBC / BOS / BCS 4. Turn the mower on its side. Remove the blade and the BBC cover. Brush any grass clippings out of the area. Locate the idler arm. Remove the bolt and locknut that retains the idler pulley. Note the pulley is on the deck side and there is a spacer between the pulley and idler arm (Fig. 219). With the pulley removed, the idler arm can pivot away from the brake drum and the belt can be removed.
BBC / BOS / BCS 6. Now, disassemble the components on the crank shaft. If you have an impact wrench, the large nut on the crankshaft can be spun off. If you must remove it manually, wedge a bar or large screwdriver into the BBC flywheel (Fig. 223). This will hold the crankshaft so the nut can be removed. Fig 223 8. Roll the self-propel belt off the pulley and remove the pulley and the key in the crankshaft. 9. Inspect the pulley. One end of the keyway is blocked off.
BBC / BOS / BCS Idler Arm System Assembly (Recycler/Rear Bagger) 1. Start by installing the key and self-propel pulley. The two bumps on the pulley should face you (Fig. 226). Slip the belt over the pulley. The flywheel must be installed with the side that looks like 1/2 of a pulley facing the brake drum (Fig. 227). Push the flywheel firmly on the taper of the crankshaft. If you can’t push the flywheel on far enough to hold, do not be concerned. DO NOT drive it on with a hammer. A B Fig 226 A.
BBC / BOS / BCS They are noise dampeners. Without them, when the brake pad hits the drum, the drum will ring like a bell. Also look at the two blade mounting bolts. Each has a flat side on the head to prevent them from rotating when the nut is tightened (Fig. 229). Make sure the bolts are fully seated. Install the brake drum. Fig 229 CAUTION! The two bumps on the pulley MUST engage the flywheel. If you do not have an impact wrench, this is where the two bumps become important.
BBC / BOS / BCS 8. Slip the spring over the shaft. One tang of the spring must engage the tab as shown (Fig. 231). 10. Hold the idler/brake arm in place. Slip the spring over the end on top of the deck as shown. Install the lever and install the screw through the lever and idler/brake arm shaft (Fig. 233).

HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES There are four types of handle and control assemblies on mowers not covered in other parts of this manual. This section will cover disassembly and repair of those types. Toro 2 Bail Handle The engine stop cable is not adjustable. If it fails to function, it must be replaced. The self-propel cable is adjustable through a clamp which is typically located a few inches down the handle. Loosen this clamp and push the cable jacket up or down to adjust.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Personal Pace Generation 1/Easy Stride Generation 1 1. Squeeze the ends of the control bail to disengage it from the handle. Disconnect the cable from the bail and set aside (Fig. 259). This is the original Toro Personal Pace/ Lawn Boy Easy Stride system. The handle is telescoping and as it slides, it tensions the transmission drive belt.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES 3. Remove 6 screws from the traction rod retainer (Fig. 261). Fig 261 DSC-4810a 4. Remove the traction rod retainer. Note the location of the traction control rod (Fig. 262). Fig 262 9-4 DSC-4811a 5. Disconnect the cable from the traction lever (Fig. 263). Fig 263 DSC-4815a 6. Unhook the springs from each side of the handle (Fig. 264).
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Reassembly 7. Slide the handle up and off (Fig. 265). Reassemble in reverse order. 1. There are 3 bosses on the inside of the guide. The top and bottom ones receive the mounting screws. The boss in the photo must line up with the end of the control rod. This boss keeps the rod from moving sideways and falling out of the handle (Fig. 267). Fig 265 DSC-4819a 8.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Adjusting the Personal Pace Cable Ensure the transmission belt is disengaged, transmission tilted forward. Loosen the cable clamp on the handle. When you pull the cable down the personal place handle should raise to the stop. Hold the cable and secure the clamp (Fig. 269). This is the second generation of the Personal Pace/ Easy Stride handle assembly. It works the same as the original in the sense that the handle is telescoping.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES 2. Install the tool over the stop in the handle guides as shown, one on each side. Push the handle down. The tool will allow the handle to slide over the stop built into the handle guide (Fig. 272). 4. Continue pushing the handle down until it slides off the end of the upper handle (Fig. 274). Fig 274 Fig 272 MVC-709Xa MVC-005Xa 3. As the handle begins to slide downward, pull the traction control bar farther out of the handle (Fig. 273). 5.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Adjusting the Personal Pace/Easy Stride Cable Ensure the transmission belt is disengaged, transmission tilted forward. Loosen the cable clamp on the handle. When you pull the cable down the Personal Pace/Easy Stride handle should raise to the stop. Hold the cable and secure the clamp (Fig. 276). Lawn-Boy 2 Bail Handle The 2 bail style is shown here (Fig. 277). The top bail is the engine stop. Release it and the ignition is grounded and a brake comes on to help stop the flywheel.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Lawn-Boy Sens-a-Speed On blade clutch models, the engine on and off is controlled by a switch on the left hand handle. The bail engages and disengages the blade. The Sens-a-Speed handle controls the self-propel the same way as on a zone start model. A Handle Disassembly, Zone Start Models 1. Loosen the cable clamp and disconnect the Sens-aSpeed cable (Fig. 279). Fig 278 DSC-4864a A. Top bail The Lawn-Boy Sens-a-Speed handle is made in two forms, zone start and blade clutch.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES 3. Remove the shoulder bolt and the traction lever (Fig. 281). Assembly If the handle has been binding, clean the top slides and the sleeves before assembling. Dirt and grit in the sliding part of the handle can cause a bind. Assemble in reverse order. When you install the upper handle, line up the holes and install the pivot pins (Fig. 282). Fig 281 DSC-4880a 4. Slide the pin out of the left hand handle and pull the upper handle up and out. 5.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Cable Adjustment The engine brake cable is not adjustable. If it fails to function it will need to be replaced. Self-Propel Cable To properly adjust the self-propel cable, loosen the cable clamp, pull the cable downward to remove all the slack (Fig. 283) then push the cable jacket up 1/8” (3.17cm) (Fig. 284) and secure with the cable clamp. Handle Disassembly, Lawn-Boy Blade Clutch System (BCS) Models 1. Remove the upper wire bail. On the right hand side it slides over a pin.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES 3. Slide the pivot assembly, bail and the brake cable to the right until the bail slides off the pin (Fig. 287). B A 7. Slide the upper handle out of the top slide. Reverse the process to assemble. Note how the switch assembly, bail and control cable are assembled before they are installed on the pin (Fig. 289). C Fig 287 A. Traction lever B. Pivot assembly DSC-4899a C. Top slide 4. Continue sliding the pivot assembly and brake cable off the pin. Fig 289 DSC-4908a 5.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES 3 Speed Transmission Models The adjustment point for this cable is a knob, jam nuts, or a clamp to the handle (Fig. 292 and Fig. 293). Handles on 3 speed models are basic and easily disassembled. 3 Speed Control Cables The shift cables are not adjustable. To install the shift cable, insert the end of the cable in the shift arm and slip the end of the cable jacket into the bracket (Fig. 290). A Fig 292 3428-0043-2 Fig 293 fig 69 A.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES The objective is to have the wheels begin to drive when the bail is about 1” (25mm) below the upper handle, yet be able to lower the bail enough to stop the wheels without releasing the bail (Fig. 294). BBC Cable Adjustment (Toro Vacu Power/Lawn-Boy Medallion) 1. Remove the two flanged head self-tapping screws securing the screen panel to the housing and remove the screen panel (Fig. 295).
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES 2. With the engine off and the spark plug wire discon nected, cock and lift the control bar to engage the blade. Tape the control bar to the handle with the blade engaged, then measure the length of the overtravel spring (Fig. 296). When adjusted properly, it should measure 1” (25mm). If it does, skip ahead to step 5. Otherwise proceed with adjustment in the following step. 5. Install the screen panel with the two flanged head self-tapping screws.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Toro BBC Cable Adjustment (Recycler/Rear Bagger) The cable adjustment is the clamp on top of the housing on the left side of the mower. Loosen the screw holding the cable clamp. Pull the cable to the rear just enough to remove the slack (Fig. 298). Hold and tighten the clamp. The spring on the forward end of the cable should be suspended just off the housing. Note: An overly tight cable will cause the BBC to disengage before the bail can be raised to the normal operating position.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Toro BOS Control Toro BOS Control Cable Adjustment The BOS control is the upper bail on the handle. For the required 2 step engagement, there is a pivoting stop on the right hand handle. Rotate it out of the way and then pull the bail down for blade engagement (Fig. 300). The blade clutch control is adjusted by removing the cover between the engine and bag door. Loosen the cable clamp and draw the cable to the rear to remove the slack.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Lawn-Boy BCS Control Lawn-Boy BCS Control Cable Adjustment To engage the blade clutch, press the control button. Then pull the control bar to the handle. To disengage the blade, release the control bar. (Fig. 302). Lawn-Boy Insight and Insight Gold: Fig 302 lwpm_10797a 1. Remove the grass bag and tunnel (Fig. 303). Fig 303 DSC-5360a 2. Loosen cable clamp. Draw cable to rear to remove slack. Now push outer jacket of cable forward 5/8” (1.5cm) and secure.
HANDLES & CONTROL CABLES Lawn-Boy Insight Platimun: 1. Remove the gas and oil and tip the mower on its side with the air filter up. 2. Remove the BCS cover and belt cover. 3. Loosen the 2 cap-screws securing the bracket to the housing. Pull the cable to the rear to remove the slack. Push the cable forward 5/8” (1.5cm) and secure. This will create 5/8” (1.5cm) of slack (Fig. 305). Fig 305 4. DSC-5352a Install the BCS cover, belt cover and tunnel.

SELF-PROPEL BELT REPLACEMENT There are several different procedures for replacing the self-propel belt. Mowers with a blade brake clutch (BBC) mechanism are the most complex as parts of that will need to be removed to access the self-propel belt. and may not disengage properly. It may be necessary to remove the blade to replace the belt. Do not force the new belt between the blade and mower housing. A nick or cut in the new belt can cause premature failure.
SELF-PROPEL BELT REPLACEMENT 21” Cast Deck Mowers – 3 Speed Transmission Toro and Lawn-Boy models If necessary, drain the fuel and oil to prevent spillage. Tip the mower on its side, air filter side up. Remove the belt cover, just behind the engine on top of the mower, to access the transmission. DO NOT bend the belt guides or force the belt between the pulley and belt guide. Loosen or remove the mounting screws to pivot the belt guides out of the way.
