JUST finished doing this on my K46 from a Husqvarna 20/42. Took 3 years for it to completely die on me so i picked up the kit out of the US because NOT ONE DEALER IN MANITOBA could source the part number i needed. Took 3 weeks to get here and $750 CDN later on the rebuild kit and it works! Took a bit to get it all bled out, but just cut 2 acres with it and it will actually go up a slight incline without issue now. My symptoms were a nasty whine from the tranny as well as no power at all. Just crawled like a turtle and then died. Changed the drive belt multiple times thinking that was the problem and no joy. It was always the pump, motor and case. I'm pretty mechanically savy, but this video certainly helped me. Thx Taryl

Great video Taryl. The trans I rebuilt is now working perfectly. Instead of buying a rebuild kit for £300, I had both rotors machined, removed approx 5 thousands of an inch from each one. I then cleaned out the crankcase thoroughly with petrol, reassembled, added fresh oil, refitted trans to the mower (a Countax) and it works a treat. Many thanks from England😊👍

@chriswarren2599 Жыл бұрын

@@bwp253 hiya, yes, what happens is the surfaces becomes scored, these micro grooves cause pressure drop as the oil squeezes out through the grooves. Taryl shows this in the video.

I've seen on one of the forums where people sand the surface smooth with 800-2000 grit sandpaper on plate glass to restore the power. I am thinking about draining my k46 and refilling it. It's from ~2003 Scotts JD L2048, but it only has 310hrs on it. Our yard is mostly flat, we rarely trailer with it, and I'm the heaviest rider at 200lbs.

This is one of your very best videos. These hydrostatic transmissions are really not that bad to service if you see a thorough demonstration of the servicing procedure. I've watched two other videos prior to this one and yours is really excellent, covering all the details and explaining some of the important details of the design of the parts and how to avoid errors in the reassembly procedure. These transmissions are really expensive to replace (practically the cost of the tractor) so servicing one that is working but no longer delivering the original amount of torque and speed is going to save people a lot of money if they can spend the time to do the rebuild.

@eyeorewolf 13 күн бұрын

Proper terminology: Pins=Pistons, Little washer=Swash Plate, Thing The Little Pins Are In=Barrel, It's basically a hydraulic piston pump with a piston motor for the output with two cross port relief valves to make up a hydrostatic transmission. That you for this video. I was just looking for fluid change procedures and came across your video. It seems Huskvarna went out of their way to make these mowers as close to disposable as possible but where there's a will there's always away. Thanks again.

I’ve gotten burned letting strangers and shops work on my stuff. You normally don’t find out until you get into it yourself. I take pride in my work. Done right done once. I had my mower tipped up and leaked some trans fluid out. I think I need to add some fluid to mine. Gonna start that task right now. Gotta figure out where the fill line is on mine. I saw the fill cap. I have a Cub Cadet SLT1550. Thanks again.

I had an oil leak in my JD D125, due to a rock being thrown up from the blades. It caused a graze with a tiny hole in the aluminium casing below the diff section. I contacted my JD dealer who said, the only way to repair it was a replacement Tuff Torq transaxle at Au$975.00. Thanks to Taryl's video series and a tube (actually two tubes as it's an epoxy mix) of JB Weld, the whole job took less than an hour and cost less than Au$20.00. I also fashioned a steel 'bash plate' to go under the transaxle, so, hopefully, it won't happen again. Thanks from the real deep south, South Australia, there ain't nothing souther than us.

@anthonywilson4873 Жыл бұрын

So input pulley and belt, drive the drive pump with the springs and pump plungers, they bear on the swash plate. The Swash plate is sprung to a flat position meaning no pumping, if you rock the swash plate either way the plungers start to stroke, pumping oil one way or the other for forward or reverse, the amount of tilt on the plate varies the amount of oil the drive pump delivers. This feeds the corresponding plungers in the output pump driving the stack of gears going to the differential. The output pump plungers drive against the ramp which can be put one way or the other to reverse operation of controls. Pin pushes valve faces apart to provide a positive neutral. Filter is on suction from sump. Interesting stuff thanks Taryl. Seems like changing oil and filter on a regular basis saves the day in most equipment. The two dampers for forward and reverse selection initially dampen the transmission take up by allowing some of the oil going to the output pump to press the piston back against spring as the rest of the oil heads to the output pump driving section, causing a slower take up. Should wear gloves oil is not good on hands long term, so should I😀

Taryl, love your humor! If you take it down to that level, to save a bunch of cash, you can block sand the 4 pump and motor surfaces with 1500 grit wet sand paper using the motor/pump rotors as the blocks, only takes a few minutes each to flatten and refresh both surfaces. It doesn't take much grooving (.005" or less) of those surfaces to lose pressure.

I put a rubber band around the spring-loaded pistons before installing the motor and pump blocks to hold them from falling out. After installing, I used some hemostats to hold the rubber band, then used a pair of scissors to cut the rubber band and just pulled it out. Simple and makes the job much easier. If you don't have hemostats you could use a pair of needle nose pliers.

GREAT video that helped me alot. Thank you. Have you ever replaced the outer axle bushings? I did. I used a long 3/8 steel rod to drive out the old bushings from the inside and a large drill press as a press with flat washers of the correct thickness and diameter to press the new bushings in to the correct depth in 3 steps. The 1st step was to press the bushing in to the same depth as the outside of the transaxle housing. The 2nd step installed the bushing to the same depth as the bottom of the seal pocket. The 3rd step pressed the bushing another 0.0875 to the correct depth in the transaxle housing. I froze the bushings for a couple of days before I pressed them in and was surprised how easy the bushings were to press in. I had everything ready before I took the bushings out of the freezer one at a time to press them in. I used micrometers to measure the diameter and thickness of the flat washers. I hope this information is useful to anybody who replaces Tuff Torq transaxle outer axle bushings.
