Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): John Deere 52, serial number plate, wheel rim


Question
 Tell me, (if you know) did you get that information from the TM1305 Repair Manual?  I was going to buy a copy of that on line and I just want to make sure that is the one that covers this walk-behind?  Thanks for your help.

Question -
The unit tracks a little to the right when cutting.  What causes this?


Answer -
 Hello John:

 Send me the Model Numbers, Please. I can be of more Assistance when I look at the Machine in my Manuals. Thanks. However, It Sounds like the Problem may be in the Transmission/Transaxle. It could be a Bent Wheel Bracket or Bent Wheel Rim too. A Lot Depends on the Model.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

Answer -
 Hello John:

 Check the Transaxle Mounting Bolts and Ensure the Rear End Hasnt Loosened Up and Slipped. From the Diagram of your Mower, this is the Only thing that will Cause it to Track to One Side when Mowing Unless Something is Bent(like the Front Axle). Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John

Answer
 Hello John:

 Im Not Familiar with this Manual. I will have Information for you in a Couple of Days. If you will kindly Resubmitt this Question. I use a Shop Manual Purchased from John Deere. I have tried the Numbers On the Manual I have and I think they have been Superceded. I have a Request in to my Manuals Supplier and they take 2 days to Respond most times. By the way, was the Rear Axle Loose? Thanks.

 Respectfully

 John
