Additional Information
The drive pinion gear transfers power from the drive shaft to the wheels, helping your lawn mower move forward smoothly. Over time, this gear can wear down, causing symptoms like uneven wheel movement, difficulty pushing the mower, or clicking and grinding noises during operation.
If you're noticing reduced drive performance, replacing a worn or damaged pinion gear can restore proper function and improve mower control. This repair typically involves removing the wheel and gear cover using a socket wrench or screwdriver. Before starting, disconnect the spark plug and secure the mower on a flat surface. Wearing work gloves is recommended for safety.
Routine inspection and timely replacement of the drive pinion gear can extend the life of your lawn mower and prevent strain on other drivetrain parts. Always check your owner s manual for model-specific guidance to ensure a proper fit and smooth installation.
