Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda HRX self propelled, honda hrx mower, drive pulleys


Question
Hello John...
I have a Honda HRX mower with the cruise control feature.  Everything works fine but I wanted to know if there is a way to increase the speed at which the mower travels.  
Setting this mower on the fastest setting still does not travel as fast as an older Honda self-propelled mower that I have.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
-Rick

Answer
 Hello Rick:

 The Reason for the Slower Ground Speed is Safety. Unless you Change the Transmission to the Older Style Transmission, you cannot get more Ground Speed. I have Changed the Drive Pulleys on a few of these Mowers and the Change in the Ground Speed wasnt Worth the Cost. Hope this Helps.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
