Bizare as it might sound I even thought (while trying to go to sleep ) I was trying to work out some lever system with another set of wheels behind the drive ones just so you could push the lever and lift the drive wheels just clear of the ground. I know another dumb idea but I'm running out of ideas
Hi Norm,
I actually like the idea of that if it's possible, though I don't think it is without heavy modification. Of course, we wouldn't need to come up with an idea like that if they simply had the gearbox disengage when the drive wheels are moving (Which I think is actually supposed to happen).
As for the image posted, it's nice and confusing. The mower is facing one direction, but they've rotated the gearbox and driveshaft assembly so you're looking at it in the correct direction (As if you're standing behind the mower). I'm at work and don't have the manual in front of me at the moment, but with a quick search, I found the below image, which I have rotated to show what it should look like..ish. When standing at the rear of the mower, the gearbox should be on the left, the height adjustment handle should be on the right, and there should be a steel plate which the height adjustment arm attaches to on the left of the driveshaft (Which reaches forward and connects to the front wheel shaft to adjust the height there).
