Yes, it's rear wheel drive. You just release the rear lever to disengage the drive wheels for cornering.

it is very easy to turn. it is rear wheel drive so it goes up inclines. I take the battery out and keep it stored fully charged. all four wheels simultaneously raise and lower to any height. I already very easily detached blade and sharpened it. after done mowing, remove battery and then you can easily store on end and clean it by spraying it off and then it also saves space. it is self-propelled and also you can engage clutch to move mower without cutting if you want. battery charges quickly and has a gauge to show you how much you are charged, full half less than half etc by easily pushing indicator button on top of mower. it is an awesome mower. it is very easy to turn. it is rear wheel drive so it goes up inclines.

It controls the fuel flow. If it's not working properly, the mower will run slowly, surge or won't start at all.

It's a variable speed twist speed control like a motorcycle twist. As there's no clutch it does engage and start quickly. I've learned to be easy on the throttle for slow manuvers and it works quite well.

I believe it is a lever on the other side to operate the front side, please read the rest of the instruction and used your point of view on it, thank you very much

Effectively, yes. The machine goes forward by default, and you control the steering by applying break to each wheel independently (break levers are on each handle). Squeeze the left level to slow the left wheel...which turns the machine left.

Not sure what you are referring to when you say the part that holds my grinding wheel. That part is attached to the shaft of the grinder and in my experience it's the shaft of the grinder that is moving. Without turning on the grinder see if you can move the shaft laterally (back and forth) if you can than the problem is with the bearing in the motor holding the shaft and not the part 'holding' the grinding wheel. If the shaft does not move than please describe the 'part'. Good luck.

Press the throttle stick to off then full throttle and back which initializes the motor controller. Its like a safety so you can connect with partial throttle.

Are you lifting the rear or the front? Im using it on a Gravely 52" HD mower and it has no problem lifting the front. You can always cal MoJack. Thats what I did.

yes, prress stop then hold down the wheel right side or left. if you press the wheel in play, it wiil slow forward or reverse.

No reverse.You have to release the forward drive lever and then push slightly forward to disengage the drive system, then pull back manually. That works ok but the machine is fairly heavy for a lot of backing.

Not sure but I do know that there is a single last digit that changes it from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive. Make sure you have the right one. I had to reorder. GWR

The self propel does work like similar ones that were on gas mowers I have owned, with one difference. With the Worx mower, the power wheels will work without needing the blade to be spinning. You can walk it to and from the worksite by pulling back the dead man handle, without pushing the knob that starts the blade. It is not a particularly strong self propel but it is helpful.

This mower is not power driven. (No rear or front wheel drive.) It is heavier than most and would be hard to push up a slope and would tend to get away from you going down hill.

You adjust the mower by turning the two flathead(?) screws on the back of the mower. The spinning blades don't move but the stationary blade will move in towards or out from the spinning blades. You know your mower is adjusted when you can spin the blade freely (by hand) and yet it contacts the stationary blade ever so slightly. You should hear a slight "singing" of the blade. If it is too tight the spinning blade will slow quickly or stop dead.

John- The Automatic lever has forward and by moving lever to the side will go back into reverse, this is with the mower deck disengaged, to get it to go into reverse with the mower deck engaged the ignition key has to be in the proper setting, refer to owners manual for that info

The answer to all 3 questions is yes. The drive wheels are controlled independently. To drive forward requires squeezing levers with both hands. To turn, release one of two levers and only one wheel turns. To reverse requires moving a the shift lever from forward to reverse.

What, exactly, is the 117869 wheel? What model mower? This works as a replacement for the front wheel on my JD mower (direct bolt-on replacement) but for it to work on the rear wheel (self-propelled, rear wheel drive), you need to order the matching rear gear drive sold separately that is not widely known.
