Parts for Weedeater 388181: Drive Control / Gear Case / Wheels Parts

The drive control cable is a feature of self-propelled walk-behind mowers that engage the gears of the propulsion mechanism. This cable is necessary to allow users to determine when they want to engage the self-propulsion mechanism and when they either want to allow the machine to idle or they wish to push it when mowing in small, tight areas where the self-propelling mechanism is not useful. Occasionally, as with all such mechanisms, the cable may break and it will become necessary to replace the drive control cable. In order to replace the cable, first disconnect the spark plug boot and drain the gasoline, since it's necessary to raise and lower the engine. If it's necessary to place the mower on its side, remember to keep the air filter up so oil does not drain into it. Release the drive cable from the housing that it shares with the engine engagement cable. Remove the drive gear housing on the bottom and the top of the cutting deck. Use needle nose pliers to remove the drive cable. Reverse the process to attach and engage the new drive control cable. This replacement cable is a genuine OEM part, manufactured to be identical to the original cable specifications. This cable is compatible with Craftsman and Husqvarna engines.

This pinion gear is an essential part of the steering assembly as it translates the rotation of the steering shaft into vertical motion. The pinion gear travels along the drivetrain, which pushes the wheels either forward or backward, causing the mower to turn. Without a functioning pinion gear, the mower will no longer steer. A pinion gear's teeth can slowly wear away through repeated use, causing it to begin slipping. When this happens, the operator will no longer be able to turn their mower as effectively or possibly not at all. This can be dangerous for the operator and they should stop mowing immediately. With most push lawn mowers, the pinion gear is located inside the wheel well. To replace it, simply remove the wheel and mounting washer, pop off the retaining ring, and remove the pinion. Reassemble and test the forward motion of the wheel. This genuine replacement OEM part is compatible with a number of lawn mowers from Poulan, Jonsered, Husqvarna, and Weed Eater. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and does not include any additional hardware.

A lawnmower, weed whacker, or trimmer is exposed to a lot of flying debris, and this puts many parts at risk of becoming clogged with grass and other materials. This cover is designed to prevent any debris from reaching the interior of the wheel or the axle. If a large amount of grass or clippings accumulate inside of the assembly, the machine will be almost impossible to move forward - whether self-propelled or manually operated. This cover prevents that from occurring and simply kicks it back in the direction it came. It does take a lot of wear and tear. Installing it is extremely easy and requires little more than a wrench. Even if the cover is aged, or broken, it will remove easily and take minutes to replace. Expect to replace this at least once over the average lifespan of a trimmer. This works with Husqvarna, Poulan, Craftsman, Ariens, Weed Eater, Jonsered, and Murray makes and models. It is a genuine OEM part sold individually.
