Every 6 months is a good time to let a pro look at your gear
    If you do all the basic stuff to service it, look after it and have a look over, listen to any different sounds it makes while working etc you probably dont need to take it in unless there is something wrong with it, or it is something you are not comfortable with.
    Got my rebuilt 215 gearbox back from the "pros" which i took out of mower for them and after putting in back in the mower it seems the arm which engages the gearbox will not engage. Hope this is something silly i am missing. Have not had a second look because too busy but will see what the "pros" have to say when i ask!

    paid $80 jayk, but like i said 6 weeks !!!!, they finally told me it was placed with the completed mowers, but the couple of times i did ring to find out what was going on, they said they were waiting on the gearbox. They're just full of shytt and told them so before i left.
