Mclane mower Clutch Control

Posted by jben12 none (My Page) on

I have a 20 in Mclane mower Model 94202.
I recently replaced the belt and also the clutch spring.When I engage the clutch and then release the clutch
handle it does not release from the handle. I have to
manually release the clutch lever. I have tried adjusting
the belt tension both increasing and decreasing the tension. This does not correct the problem.

I will appreciate any help in determing what adjustments
are necessary to correct the problem.

Thank You

I didn't see this model #. Is this one of the Snapper made rotary mowers? Return springs can break sometimes. Does it seem as though the cable may be binding?

The model number you listed is for the Briggs & Stratton engine. It's a 3.5hp 9.0CID. I think the correct p/n for the mower is 20-3.5-7.

Anyway, I would check and see if you have the new belt threaded properly. Also, make sure spring is properly installed. On older McLane the spring provided tension on the belt; on newer ones like yours the spring is a return to release tension.

Do you have the manual? Although not real clear it gives some idea of relationship of belt, spring, pulleys, and levers.

Here is a link that might be useful: McLane 20 and 25 manual
