Apologies for dragging an old post up I wanted to ask you all for some advice please if I may.
I've suggest acquired a second hand Weibang 56 Legacy pro with a fault on it. before i start tearing the thing apart i wanted to ask if the fault it was sold for is a common fault and what would be the first thing you guys check, change or replace please.
the machine runs and cuts well however it has lost its drive and apparently very difficult to roll backwards.
any help or indication would be really appreciated.

thank you.
   

Morning All,


sorry its been a while I've finally taken the engine off the mower deck and am washing all the old debris off it ready for disassembly.
in the mean time I was wondering would anyone know if the gxv160 engine would fit straight on the mower I have they look the same all be it a new engine than what i have.
the rear pto is in the right place etc etc.

i have spotted one on eBay and if it fits would like to purchase it and that will get my mower going again and that will give me the winter months to repair the original engine which I would then keep for spare.

thank in advance

Asking for a good friend of mine.
Anyone have a hrx 426 grass box they may want to sell?

If so please let me know thank you

Ok so I machined a piece of steel rod down to the exact dimensions of a new one and with some careful welding have managed to save my roller.
Happy for now at least

Will do Mick I'm trying to get it done this week.

Quote from: Mick on August 08, 2021, 08:14:14 PMI guess you have nothing to lose by trying it. The drive end looks ok, so as long as the bearings are good, and the sprung thrust washer is in place it should work.

I've seen these shaft ends worn right off, so you're lucky there's still something there to work with.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi mick I'm wondering if it's worth welding a piece of steel road on the end that's failed

Quote from: Mick on August 08, 2021, 04:13:59 PMI definitely haven't got one, but hopefully someone will see you post and be able to help you.

I have got to replace one myself when the new roller and bearings arrives. Pretty common fault on these machines though, we've changed several over the years.   

Hi Forum anyone have a rear roller assembly that would fit a Honda hrx 476 that they would like to sell??
I've just bought a second hand machine and have been ripped off as once I got home and inspected it I've seen the rear roller is knackered.

thank you so much for the info im going to try and give this a go and see what happens

hi all I have let it run most of today although the smoke does clear a bit from the initial start up its not going away.

I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get it the engine rebuilt.

   

Thank you Mick I do hope Tim comes on the scene and can offer some help I would like the engine rebuilt properly so I can salvage the mower scrapping it is not and option for me

Hi Mick thank you for taking the time to respond I do want this mower saved as I prefer the old stuff to the new mowers.
I'm probably going to have to take the engine off and see what's it's like inside.
I really wanted to try and find. A good engine and just plonk it on.
From what I can tell there seems to be various gx120 engines for sale on eBay and I'm not really understanding which one it is I need.

Good morning forum and thank you for letting me join.
I have recently purchased a used Honda Hr194 from the dreaded eBay.
On start up it bellows out what seems to be white smoke and it does smell like oil burning. It does calm down after a while but it never really goes away. On google search I found an article on the breather pipe potentially blocked but I have checked and blown this out and I couldn't see any difference at all.
My question to you guys is, is this and easy enough job to replace the rings and head gasket or does anyone have a good working engine that they may want to sell that I can pop straight on?
I believe it's a Honda GXV 120 that fits this machine. I popped into my local garden machinery store yesterday but they have told me to scrap it, they deem it to be beyond economical repair.
I do want to save this one way or another obviously with the help of you guys.
Any advice or info would be gratefully appreciated.
