Anyone have experience fixing em? Wheels won't turn at all in which case the sweeper is useless.

Turn it over and spray wd-40 everywhere. Then try to turn it with channel locks. If that doesn't help it throw it away and just mow more often and run over clippings or leaves and chop them up !!!!

Chain or gear drive on it? Stiff chain and cause that or a gear jammed with debris.


Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

It's a gear driven sweep. I think the height adjustment knob is about shot to ad it won't stay in place. Got the thing for the right price to start with(free from an old mowing job).

Wife's was acting up yesterday, wheels were skidding, as she went by I kicked the top of the wheel forward and it's been working every since.

Probably needs a good tear down and get rid of some rust from drawing moisture.
