On my mower the self drive has been disconnected & also no belt to pulley on bottom of crank.

Recently I’m getting vibration when cutting grass. Looking under the mover I can see it’s the self propel gearbox. Grabbing it by hand I can rotate it as I like due to no belt being fitted & drive gears in wheels removed. So basically it’s redundant.

Is there any reason why I can’t just cut the shafts that come out of the gearbox either side & bin it.

I’ve looked at the height adjuster system & how it’s connected to the rear axle etc & all seems ok with removal.

What are your thoughts.
My mower has 1 lever rear right hand side that when moved to a new height the bar between rear & front wheel makes the adjustment height of the deck go up or down.
