My home depot bought HRX 217 starts, runs and mows fine. It has the smart drive system. It is propelling very slow. I adjusted the turnbucle on the cable with no results. The only thing i have done to this mower is changed the oil and air filter. I have used this mower for 2 seasons. growing up i mowed my fathers lawn with a honda self propelled mower for 10 years with no problems, he still has it! I bought this mower with the same expectations and now i'm dissapointed. I paid 600 bucks for a push mower and i'm allready having problems! Any suggestions? Please help.:madhell:

Have you raised the thumb control to allow more travel?

Hi, I have a very similar problem after the recent replacement of the traction drive cable. In addition the rear wheels seem to lock up when pulling in reverse. Have you received a resolution to your problem and would you know what the reverse lock issue maybe or who to talk to. I would much rather repair myself than have to pay $$$ to the dealer.:wall
