Hello fixin-it
The clear message coming out of these posts is the
need to check the oil/grease condition in sealed gearboxes.
The main issue with these boxes seems to be the slipping
out of gear - as in the ball-and-spring not acting on a good
lever indent; or the poor condition of the dog clutch.
The second issue is revealed by user habits:
Changing gear 'on the run' is different from changing
gear when the mower is stationary.
The bevel gears seem usable; I'm not sure about the pinion.
Engineer Gadge has covered the correct lubricant on ODK.
Please let us know what transpires.

well took the bevel gears and pinion round to the engineering shop and he had a good look at them and reckons they don't need anything done to them he would class it as normal or minimal wear and to give the box a good clean to remove the old grease and then put it back to gether and fill with liquid type grease and it should be fine .
he did say it may have been the old grease that caused the problem other than that he could see no obvious problems with the gears or pinion .
so I will get new nuts & bolts then put it back together .
