9 times out of 10, when having intermittent A/R issues —- whether it is an ARB or a dog —- it is dried/stiff lubricants causing the issue.

Generally just a good cleaning and service takes care of the problem.

Quote from: Gfish on January 15, 2026, 07:35:43 PMI had a BG 5000. Coulda sworn it had onea them wire dealies that kicked in a pawl-type anti-reverse if the rollers failed while in A/R mode. Maybe it was a different reel...
I think the BGs only have the backup anti-reverse in the larger reel sizes.

The cold could stiffen up the grease/oil preventing the rollers in the clutch bearing from disengaging. My take on how it is designed to work is the rollers misalign in the race when forced to go the opposite direction causing it to lock up. If put away with these stuck in place and the clutch lever not engaged the bearing may just be letting go as it thaws out. Maybe or maybe not LOL.  :o

Do vegans feel the same when mowing the lawn?
