Thank you, but I took it to a mower repair centre first and was charged €70
only to be told that the transmission needed replacing at €650!
Hi Gerald, I’m glad that my video helped, not sure what your problem is but
is the mower now useable? Are you sure that you put the wheel driving gears
back on the right way round? I found on mine that with the new transmission
the Hydrostatic speed control had no effect but it preforms quite well,
pity they can’t build them the way they used to as my 25 year old Honda
still works a treat! Good luck.
Good video!! I have the same problem and I want ask you the part number of
the new transmission. The original HRX537 have the transmission
20001-VH7-A00 (480$) but one dealer says it is replaced by 04200-VH7-315
(220$). But lownmoverspros.com write me: Honda does not confirm
that 04200-VH7-315 kit replaces 20001-VH7-A00.
I’m bit confused!
Took my HRX 537 out for a spin this morning and straight away noticed that
it was pulling to the left. Got my spanners out and took the drive wheels,
the gears and the bits and pieces apart, noticing that they were in need of
a good cleaning and greasing. Put everything back together and got into a
bit of a tizzy about which way the small gear went.
First attempt and the machine wouldn’t propel forward. Tried again,
assuming the right hand wheel, as viewed from the rear was the problem
because I hadn’t been using my eyes when I stripped it down.
Turned the gear round and the machine propelled forward. Sorted, I
thought, but back on the grass the machine still wanted to turn anti
clockwise circles. Called it a day and went for my tea, thinking perhaps
the left hand gear is the wrong way round.
That was when I saw your first rate video.
I will look at my machine again on a rainy day with a view to getting it to
move in a straight line but in the meantime, Mackenzie, or anyone else, I
would appreciate and comments you may have on my attempts so far.
Thankyou,
Jim. West Yorks.
hi
i have a honda hrx 537 about 4 years but when i took it out to cut the
grass this year it wont start,i notice a lot of fluid coming from the
exhaust when i pull the cord,i have never replaced the air filter but i
have noticed the lawnmower will start with the filter off,do i need to
replace it as i have never done since i bought it and could you tell me
when the filters need to be replaced.
Very, Very Nice tutorial. Thank you for your time and quality production.
You have helped me a great deal. I needed to replace rear wheels and a
cable on a 2003 Harmony HRT216. I wasted some time and then decided to
YouTube. Glad that I found you.
Thanks again for your hard work and contribution.
hi, great video. I wonder if you could help me make sense of what my mower
is doing.
The bottom line is that when the self propel is engaged, the wheels do not
spin whether lifted off the floor or not, and this is without loads.
I feel that the cable for the drive has a little slack, however, when the
mower is running and engaged, I also pull on the cable and I do not notice
any movement of the wheels at all
Please help
Well done! Well filmed and very informative. I just hope I don’t need to
make use of the info. Had my mower for about 7 yrs now and no trouble
Belle vidéo (montage ,définition son et éclairage) de changement du boitier
de traction , transmission des tondeuses Honda . Belle maitrise et calme du
mécanicien qui travaille précisément et rapidement avec des explications
claires. C’est beau la mécanique avec des gazouillis d’oiseaux …..aller
il fait beau dans ma verte Normandie , je me lève le “cul” du fauteuil et
j’attaque ce boitier de transmission sur ma HRB 476C Sxe , mais moi , sur
du progressive rock 😉 . Bravo Mackenzie Rough . Une petite question :
“Est-ce vous qui filmait en même temps ( plan séquence fixe) , ou vous
aviez un caméraman ?” Merci
Your instructions were great. Replacement transmission had smaller pulley,
and I assumed it might have different gear ratios as mower is over 9 years
old so I put it on anyway. All parts fit well except getting last circlip
on is tough. I get no movement at lo speed. I think cable at max setting.
How can I be sure? Also, when trying to turn mower both rear wheels act
like there is no differential. Is that correct? Don’t remember it that way.
Guess I need a little more
great video, very informative, but a lot of time and money could have been
saved by, replacing the 2 drive shaft oil seals, 50p each, topping up the
gearbox with hydrolic oil, then bleeding the system
My pleasure James, Good luck with your repairs. Regards, Ian.
Thank you Douglas Chin-Yee, I’m glad that you found my video informative,
I’m sure that Honda would not be interested as their Dealers would be
losing bushiness, I was quoted a massive 600 Euros to do the job! Anyway
these clutches should not be wearing out so quickly! I have a Honda which
is 26 years old and the clutch still works fine!!!
Hi I bought it from LAWNMOWERPROS in America they ship worldwide and are
very helpful, Part number 20001-VH7-003 cost $173.95 plus shipping I don’t
no what you mean about ‘Meatier Clip!
Thank you
Hi there, delighted to find your video. My m/c is HRX 537 type HXE. Guys in
Lawnmowerpros do not recognise the type. Is there an American equivalent?
Would like to be sure before spending the $173.95! Would appreciate your
help. Paul O’L (Waterford)
Thanks Ian-I just found it on e-bay-thanks for your help, Kind
Regards,James/ Donagh
Hi, Now that is interesting as I did contact your company by email and was
told that you could NOT confirm that the part was suitable for European
models, a pity as your price was much better, hopefully you will now get
some business from my video and send me some commission. Kind regards, Ian
Rough.
Hi James, I have just found it on Ebay.uk search for:-“Honda HRX537 HRX 537
Workshop Manual + Owners Manual for Service Repair” It’s around £9.00 Kind
regards, Ian.
I got locked back wheels on a 1995 HONDA HRA- 215 . IT been outside for 3
years in rainy, bag has green Mold where to start? Thanks
I am in need of a transmission .If I may ask where are they purchased from,
and the cost? The seal is leaking and the circlip slips off the drive
shaft. Thank you for the fine video .May I ask is there a method of using a
meatier clip?
Great video. Thank you for walking me through the clutch cable replacement.
A big job.
Hi Donagh, I bought a CD rom manual on ebay, but can’t find it on ebay now
so I will try and find my one tomorrow and you can buy that off me if you
like, Kind regards, Ian.
I agree with Douglas. Great video.
I’m glad that my video helped you, Honda are not very helpful my local deal
wanted 600 Euros to do the job! I found the manual (CD) on Ebay listed as
:- “Honda HRX537 HRX 537 Workshop Manual + Owners Manual for Service
Repair”. Good luck.
you put the wrong washer on the rebuild, you put a spring washer on and
then a snap ring, Wrong…
Good job. But hopefully I won’t have to do this haha. I was just snooping
around to repair my clutch cable on an hrr 216 harmony II.
I so glad that it helped, with 7,205 views I feel that Honda have an issue
with these mowers!
I’m glad that my video was of help.
Thanks Mackenzie, just what I needed. A major pain just to replace the
clutch cable!
Thank you I hope that it helps, good luck.
I found this video invaluable for replacing the transmission in my
HRX217HXA mower, especially since I didn’t have a service manual. I set up
my laptop in the garage and played/paused the video as I went step by step
through the process. Thanks for this extremely helpful and well done video
and I truly appreciate you putting it together and posting it here.
I ask donyboy73 on YouTube. He supposed to be the best on YouTube but yet
he could not answer the question thank you you had a great video and nice,
Mackenzie, Nice video-it looks like a serious piece of work-but do-able if
you give it the time.I have a HRX537HXEA/HMEA as well. I need to replace
some parts but don’t have a parts manual.I can’t find it on the Honda
website-I don’t suppose to have a link for a manual??Kind Regards, James in
Ireland
The spring washers always go on behind a wheel….
I ordered a new transmission as the clutch was worn out. I was worried not
knowing how to replace the transmission. I found this you-tube video which
is the exact model as mine. Thanks for this video as I now have a complete
step by step video of how to do the job. This is the best help video I have
ever seen. You should sell this video to Honda customer service!!!
Excellent video, exactly what I needed!
Thank you, I have been searching for a video to complete this job!!!! Darn
honda dealerships will not sell me a repair manual. Thank you!
Thank you very much Garycourtt
