    Self propelled lawn mower
    I have a Troy Bilt 220 self propelled lawn mower. Is there an adjustment for the self propelling mechanism? It seems each season it gets harder to push. It works OK when I am on the driveway but once it gets into the lawn I seem to be doing all the pushing. Any suggestions? I purchased the mower in 2001.

    Sounds Like You Have A Worn Belt, Take Your Model And Serial Number To A "mtd" Dealer, And Order A New Belt.
    When Belt Arrives, Remove Spark Plug ,
    Remove Belt Guard Housing,
    And You Can Cut Off The Old Belt,
    Then Place The New Belt Over The Blade One End At A Time, Then To The Drive Wheel Transmission.
    Reinstall Belt Guard Housing,
    Then Spark Plug And Away You Go.
