I have an Old Craftsman EZ3 22" 6.5HP Eager-1 Model Number 917.376301
It is a self propelled model and I always just push it. I decided to remove as much of the self propelled parts as I can. I don't really understand exactly how the geared front wheels work. If I remove the Gear case and drive shaft will the front wheels still turn freely when I push it? I can see that the drive shaft does spin as I rotate the wheels.
Any info on this would be much appreciated. I'm obviously not much of mechanic so please give it to me a simply as possible :)
Thanks
