Tim

Are you still having trouble pushing your Mex?
I remember you had asked about that back in July.

http://www.network54.com/Forum/228309/message/1154051925/

Were you able to apply the suggestions that were given?
And if you did, was there an improvement?

Here's what I'd suggest:
Get some TRI-FLOW lubricant.
It contains Teflon.
It's an excellent lube.
Spray it into your wheels.
And that should do it!

Order here...

Or maybe we need to get you a membership for Gold's Gym (just kidding)

Rick, I'll try the hints. Last night was the first time with the scrub pads, it seems that the head was jump or jerking every so often. Yes it used to be easy to push, but it felt like there was hair or dirt in the bearing or they had a flat spot on the balls in the bearings

A guess?

Maybe the hose the juice runs through is pinched at the handle shut off.
Or there is a kink in the tubing somewhere. Just my $.02..

On my 15" if you go too fast, or its running without enough solution, the belt can momentarily slip, making it hard to push for a split second and causing the head to jump...maybe thats whats happening?
