How to Change the Drive Belt on Honda HRR2162SDA Mower
The Honda HRR2162SDA push mower utilizes a rear driven transmission to make it easier to use the mower. When you push down on the drive lever, the mower propels forward. It uses power from the motor shaft and a pulley system to operate the transmission. Eventually the belt wears out and when you push in on the drive lever, the belt will simply spin on the pulleys. When this happens, replace the belt with a new one. Does this Spark an idea?
