Hi I have gearbox failiure on my Honda UM 616 rough mower. Its hydrostatic I can not find any spaers on the internet or ever taken a hydrostatic gearbox to bits. Knowing Honda they will charge a fourtune for a new gearbox. If any one has experince or know where I can source parts for the hydrostatic drive or even know how much a new one is I would be very happy for a reply. Cheers Chris.

i had to replace a gear box on a hrd 535 i am sure it was 300 plus at the time 8 year ago.

 

i have a few spare gear boxs now which might be the same if you can found the part numbers out i might be able to help you?

 

the gear boxs are off hrd 535

Thanks for the advice but on closer inspection the hydro drive works the problem lies in the chain and sprockets a broken chain and small sprocket has missing teeth also the ratchet on the wheel drive spindle has broken. I visited my local dealer and the parts will come to nearly £100. Sounds dear to me but the rest of mower looks pretty good there fantastic mowers for rough long grass and brush there also good on banks so I think its worth doing.
