My Toro Personal Pace 21" 6.5hp is about 5 years old now and has performed great! Unfortunately, I think age has caught a bit on the drive system. If I push the handle, the mower moves, but only the right wheel is spinning and it's spinning so fast, it can't get traction---i.e. all the power is directed to that one wheel. Worse is the fact that I can hear that the left is trying to engage, but it doesn't. It sounds like marbles in a can. Aomost like plastic gears are clicking and not catching. Not a comforting sound.
I take the unit arpart every year and clean and grease it and always wash the unit when I am done cutting. I know I had it back together correctly because it worked fine at the beginning of the season.
So, any ideas on what might be going on? Also, where do you folks buy parts from for this unit online? I know I need a new right rear tire as it's bald now from spinning.
Thanks!
