Wheelie horse 90 #1 Posted May 28, 2018 Was cutting the grass today with my 416-8 I went to switch from 2nd to first gear and then it would not move and the shifter had no tension in it almost as if it was broken you could move it into any gear without clutch and nothing would happen. If anyone can help that would be great what could this be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irv 115 #2 Posted May 28, 2018 set screw (dog point) either loose or broken. Take off shifter plate and raise boot and you'll see. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cee245 753 #3 Posted May 28, 2018 Ugh Sorry to be bearer of bad news but you might need a new shift fork and other parts for that uni drive.. You will probably have to open up the transmission. I have rebuilt my dad's and it isn't too complicated if you have a little know how. Good luck to you. Cory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cee245 753 #4 Posted May 28, 2018 Right. @Irv. And make sure to replace the shift boot when making any transmission work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My brother was visiting for the week and wanted help around the house so we gave him a quick tutorial on how to operate our Wheel Horse. He cut about 80% and all of a sudden it wouldn't move. "So what did you do?" "I dunno?" Now we know! Oh what a relief! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
