Hayter 56 drive problem

Posted by Charles Langford on April 20, 2011 at 7:21pm
Evening ladies and gents I have tw0 Hayter 56'S rear rollered mowers. Buth of them I now have to push as thes self propelling is to say the least useless. Any thoughts welcome! Also is there a different mower that has a different mechanism that means that this problem doesn't occur?

    Old hayter belt drive or new gearbox type version? More info required.. if its the old type belt drive it probably only needs the cable adjusting or at worst a new belt.... otherwise if its the new type the gearbox is probably had it.

    Check underneath the mower to see if the aluminium bracket the holds the gear box and the belt pulleys isn't broken. I have two Hayter Harrier 48 pros and this is a re-occuring problem. The propulsion gets worse and worse and I end up having to push the mower about. The aluminium bracket on the mowers is not strong enough to cope when the mowers are being moved in the trailer, esp on the roads round here.

    Have had this problem this year also. New belts and it pulls like a train!

    Hayters have always suffered withi this.

    Maybe it needs a new drive cable?
