In the end the cause of this drive problem was that which was considered most likely – the clutches in the transmission were clagged up by unnecessary, inappropriate and excessive lubrication. The sad thing was, someone would have to have pulled it apart to do that in the first place.
I have only had a chance to run the mower briefly since this overhaul but I am glad to report that it is working much better – the transmission is responsive and progressive and shows no sign of sticking. The pedal travel is longer than it could be but I’m OK with that for the moment.
Once it rains and we get some grass I’ll give it a solid go and see if the clutch lining glue holds up to hard work.
