Thank you, Leonz for your response. I recently purchased this mower pre-owned, and like everything about it. I don't know if this was something already weak when I bought it, or if I did the damage myself. I'm learning on the fly about these things.
Anyone know what brand their Gearboxes are? Right hand one has played out on me. Called a dealer and they want $1,200 for a new one. Has to be a generic one available that would work.
