Haven watched over an hour long video earlier explaining this process your video is a great refresher. Definitely not as detailed but I don’t have another hour unless I forget those little important details in which I will go back to the more detailed video. Thanks

I loved watching this video. My LA150 quit moving after half hour mowing last summer, I did take it down and changed the fluid but never took the cover off to check anything so now when weather breaks again I am going to take it apart and repair it. The mower itself runs fine after I rebuilt the whole deck, new carb, fuel pump, voltage reg. tires, plugs, battery. My dad taught me well about mechanics, mostly auto motors and transmissions as he rebuilt them for over 50 years.

i was given a mint condition LA130 with a 21hp v and a slipping trans. hopefully this video helps. you sir are an artist.

Great video. You are the first one that chose how to fix the transmission

Great exclamational video. Thought my 160 trans was tired but had a sheared wheel key. Talk about jumping for joy when I found that. This guy is amazing with techniques. Wish I had his skills.

Clean the magnets as best as you can with a rag or paper towel and then use your air to blow the filings away. They come clean and it works every time.

I’m glad i Looked at this also, because the first dudes video Said too overfill it with oil.

I did this to my toro K61 trans and it worked! Runs like it used to now. Thanks for this video.

The cooling fan blade is also upside down (- the 'flatter' edge of the blade goes to the top, with the 'more-raked' edge to the bottom).

A fantastic job. More like 4-5 Days! You deserve a wider bench and fixture for holding the Trans.

When my E140 K42 trans started slipping at 100hrs I replaced it with a K66 garden tractor trans. Havent had any trouble since for 377hrs. Drags trees, shovels gravel & dirt, Works great. I am presently fabing a outrigger ditch mower for it. If I had to do it all over again I would buy a 2nd hand X580. !

Excellent video! I may need to refer to this one day for my JD. I read/watched videos the trans fluid from the factory is garbage and causes a lot of wear and so the one thing I already did was drop the Trans and replace/upgrade the factory trans fluid with Full Synthetic 5W-50 oil and has been working great for 5 years. I'm hoping that upgrade will keep me from having to tear it apart and replace parts - we'll see. Since you have the Trans out, the one other thing I would do is replace the drive belt. You will need to drop the deck to replace plus you can also check the one or two other drive belt pulleys to see if the bearings are good/bad.

I guess them transmissions purg them selfs because no one ever shows pulling the latch out on back and moving shifter back and forth to perg the air out I'm still going to do it

Umm. Like, wow! Great video and I don't think I'll ever be able to pull this off if needed. You sir rock!

I have a 2015 D160 with 170hrs. It struggles to get up hills, especially when hot. It's been getting worse over the last couple years. My back yard has a steep hill. After finding out how common this is and the cause, I removed the K46 and took the cover off. Everything looked ok - no big damage, probably just small wear. The magnets (four in mine) had a good amount of fine shavings. My filter is a screen, not paper. I cleaned everything up and resealed the case. The old oil looked very bad - thin and grey. I put fresh 5W40 synthetic in it, and it climbs hills so much better now. Hopefully I caught it before too much damage was done. I don't do any snow blowing/pushing or tow much of anything, just a lawn aerator once a year. I just wanted everyone to know that if you catch it early enough, you may not need to tear into the transaxle and rebuild. I think I'll get at least another couple years out of it.

Pretty cool. Thank you. I think I better change the oil in mine and inspect it.

Great video. By the way compressed air works great for removing metal from magnets.

Awesome detail 👌

I did this sanding work and it made a small difference buy not 100% better. I have now ordered 2 new pumps and will install and hopefully I'll be good as new after.

😏 but thank you for showing me how to resurface the pump & Motor have a wonderful week ✌️out😎

Use your blow nozzle to clean shaving off magnet. 45 years doing automotive transmissions. Good job.

Wish you would explain more what size wrench.

Bravo. Love your work.

Can you remove the pan from under the tractor without removing the transmission or will the gears be falling out or does the unit need to be removed and flipped over to remove.

Thank you. I have a D105 and need to replace the Drive Shaft. Is that as easy to take apart and can the drive shaft be replaced> The screw holding the spring broke inside of it, and I have not been able to get it out. So, I thought replacing would be the best. Thank you for your suggestions

I have John Deere x 140 gardentractor vm 2010. Have you done ever video how to change hydraulick oil in that tractor ??🤔

It would help if he explained what he was doing as he did it.

Nice job bringing that back to life! Why do you use the Castrol 5W50 and not a J20C spec like the Shell Spirax S4 TXM at Canadian Tire? Are you down in the Valley or on the South shore?

I have a spare Tuff Torq K46 from a Husqvarna, but have you ever tried to use one in a John Deere? I understand flipping the triangle pressure plate to reverse the movement direction, but I am not sure what you mean by saying "swap out your "axles" and "shift and brake levers". Not sure why the axle would need to swapped? (8:45) The connections on the trans look the same on most various K46 models. I would think using the different models from spares for common John Deere tractors etc could make a really good video if you ever get a chance to do one. Thanks for these videos they are really helpful.

I am trying to be helpful- and not sound like a jerk- but you really want to torque those bolts in the aluminum tranny case to specs. I stripped a pump bolt once and had to repair it. I also only use synthetic 5w-30 motor oil. The 5w-50 gets too thick and you can lose speed once it heats up. I lost 1.5mph. Went back to 5w-30. I have rebuilt 3 k46A transmissions on different LTR-180 Deeres. I can hear the idler pulleys needing grease or replacement. Again just trying to help.

Resurfacing the pump housing faces by hand is poor practice. The housing should be set face-down on the sand paper supported by a flat surface (metal or a piece of glass). That will enable you to get a true (flat and level) finished surface.

I have a LT180 too, where can I get the gear set if I don’t have spares? Also, what actually caused it to slip, Gears or the surfaces you sanded smooth?

Very good video.

I have a LX277 AWS Hydrostatic. When I turn the steering wheel right or left the wheels do not straighten back up. Do you have an idea why that is? There is this rod under the seat that seems to move the back wheels but it won't straighten them...it feels kind of loose when I move it left and right.

Changing the pump/motor didn't work either. Obviously another problem which I think is the 'center section'. I also sanded that as you did but still that didn't work so I'll buy a new center section. Also could be the relief system which will be replaced with the center section. I'm getting good at taking this POS apart andre-assembling. Hopefully it will work after the hydraulic stuff is fully replaced. I will change the oil more frequently from now on (if I get it fixed)

Hi I have a John Deere x155r tractor mower. The right hand rear axle has broken off. How difficult is it to replace a new axle in the tranaxle? Graham

Great video. I have a question you might be able to help with. I have a 1990 Ariens tractor that is have a issue. The mower wont move forward and make a whining sound...it move backward strong and fast...just not forward. The belts seem to be tight, the fluid seem to be full, the linkage seems to be moving. The mower is in super good condition and hope to save it. Any help would be great...Thanks

Perfect!

My la120 doesn’t seem to want to stay in gear. If I slam the bypass lever back and forth it will go into gear for a minute. I checked that it was moving the lever on top the trans. Is this common?

I had put rebuild transmission on my D170, when I start the tractor it is in reverse. I can hear the transmission pump on, it does go forward and reverse but is in reverse when in neutral and starts smelling. Can't get hold of the guy I got it from. Will you know what can be the issue

Is slipping the same as jerking? I have an L120 with a K46. It jerks on load or uphill. Same when turning left or right. I'm planning on opening it up. How did you know how to put it back together. Nice video but it would have been helpful if you explained why you were doing what you were doing. No offense.

When you removed the K46, the v-belt pulley was on top of the plastic fan. When you installed it, you put the fan above the pulley. ??? Wondering if you caught it, but didn't mention it? Great video. BTW, The Deere parts website shows the pulley above the fan, like when you removed the tranny.

I just replaced the Tuff Tork unit on my 550-hour John Deere LA-145. Is there any use for the old unit?

Can this diff be welded where the tires spin the same way

So, is it normal the noise when you push to go forward (or backward)? Because I have the same one and i thought that was a bad transmission

bonjours ! j'aurais une question pour vous ... le moteur briggs and stratton de 22 force Platinum et t'il un bon moteur ?

Good video, but not enough detail. I couldn't understand some of the things you said (mumbling). Where did you get parts? I definitely appreciate the video. With better production you would be phenomenal. BTW, far better than I could do. Thank you!

TRY RIGHT STUFF GASKET MAKER VERY GOOD BEST I HAVE TRIED

Will this work on the k62ac they put in the simplicity broadmoor

I have a 100 series 115 John Deere I'm looking for a new deck what other series would fit

Bonjour, je vois que vous faites des vidéos très détaillées et très instructives. j'ai une fuite d'huile sur l'axe qui relie la roue a la boîte hydrostatique. Avez vous une vidéo pour expliquer comment procéder à la réparation. merci

What would make one wheel spin while pulling up the hill and the other one dont help pull much or any?

Maybe i missed it, but i wouthave liked to know what the symptoms were.

Yo tengo un tractor john deree lt 155 y no me tracciona?

Dear Sir I have a JD lt160 it has gotten slower over the years itsabout 18 years old. I never checked the trans as I was told it was in service able but it is slow going up hills an has lost speed over the years what would suggest to try doing the trans oil change at least it runs ok on flat but struggles going up hill I did change belts an drive pullies and my drive belt is always tight which Leeds me to the trans what do you think sir Ray Stein

Buen trabajo se podra traducir en español?

So I put the wrong oil in my transaxle how do I fix that

only thing that sucks on lawnmower transmissions is 99 percent of them are to slow

tough torx r not made for hills at all

You put the big brake pad in wrong that little tab goes in the back not towards the smaller brake pad

Input need better information about what you are doing a little more than what you did in this video.

Is that tranny a two speed?

Did your pump block slide down snug on the main shaft splines? I noticed mine seems loose with play on there so im wondering if thats my problem.

rule #1: don't buy one.. do NOT buy a John Deer anything. save yourself a lot of trouble.
