The only video of these plastic units that even begins to explain how they work. This video gave me enough information to make a "guess" where to begin looking for my particular problem. Bullseye...Parts are on the way. Decided to remove it out of the machine to completely clean it and inspect everything. If you have more than a couple hundred hours on yours, it's worth it. Hubby acts like I'm an alien from another planet when I'm in the shop tinkering with my mower. Bought it 6 yrs ago at a yard sale for $150. Best money I ever spent. Wouldn't buy one new though. Thanks so much for the video...

I was going to buy another one for $2,300 the first one was bought for $1,500 in 2014 . Got 10 years out of it . I used it to pull trailer around the yard and the older kids drove around our 3/4 acre yard. It was used hard but did once of year total maintenance on it and garage kept. After watching your video I now am purchasing a new transmission and drive belt and pulleys for it for $550 total. Thank you for explaining how it works and the issues . You saved me here I was not wanting to buy another one now.

Great video Dude!!! My buddy's mower has locked it's diff totally, the left foot floor lever won't depress, the wee rear push/pull lever to move the mower makes no difference, you can rock the mower forward and backward a small amount but that is a real good clunk clunk.......is I possibly a fully seized bearing??? 😉😎

@mr_fixit 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. Regarding your issue I think there may be another problem you are experiencing. It could be the mechanism on the transmission that changes the forward and reverse that could be jammed or there is even a possibility of internal damage. Either way you will have to drop transmission to inspect everything.

@@mr_fixit hi Man and thanks for replying ! Yes the forward and reverse lever is activating just fine , it's shaft into the trans looks fine , the thing that has me scratching my head is it's locked up , the start lever won't depress , there is no nuetral ... I'm sure something inside has gone real not good 😎🙃😉 thanks again !!!

@@mr_fixit hello again, yes the more I've thought about it, I remember laying under it shifting the lever forward/backward and it felt too smooth like no form of engagement noise/feel. I double checked to be sure the lever was still locked to the shaft and it was so I think you might be on the money... currently it's with my buddy's son in-law who's an awesome young engineer......phew I dodged that job 👏 Thankyou for your help!!! Very appreciated 😁 regards Deane and love from New Zealand 😉😎

Would replacing the primary pulley (furthest one back) fix the D105 not going up hills? I've replaced the secondary pulley spring, the long drive belt from the engine back to the primary, and it does not want to go up even the smallest incline. Everything is clean, the brake isnt obstructed, and other than that the tractor runs well. It hits a normal top speed in reverse and forward on a flat surface... 270 hours.

@mr_fixit 2 ай бұрын

You may need to replace the short belt it could be glazed if original or worn down so it's skinnier and slipping on the pulleys

@sunapeelakers 2 ай бұрын

@@mr_fixit I don't think the belt was original, and I'm not sure it looked absolutely terrible, but I replaced it and the secondary variator (came as a kit with the secondary spring and hardware on Amazon). Blew it all off with a leaf blower, although it wasn't that dirty (I keep it clean and in the garage when not in use). After getting it back together, it climbed hills great on my short test ride - maybe the belt was junk after all. We'll see how it does once i get the deck re-attached, and it's mowing while climbing the hills. Thanks man!

@@sunapeelakers check for fine black dust in the area and make sure everything is moving freely. I did once before threw a secondary belt on there cause original broke and was fine at first but rear pulley bearing was starting to seize and was wearing belt down little bit at a time till it made it almost half the original thickness and it would barely move.

My D105 goes in reverse and moves but does not go forward. The selector arm is really rough to put it in reverse but it will go but it won’t go into drive or move. What do you think is stuck or broken? Thanks.

@mr_fixit Жыл бұрын

There is a selector guide piece that may have jumped too far. That would be my best guess and transmission will have to probably come out to confirm that's the problem.

What could be the problem on a D105 that is not variable, seems like it only goes about 2mph max?

@mr_fixit 11 ай бұрын

Is it slow in both forward and reverse? If that's the case, most likely the main drive belt is stretched or worn.

Do you know if the replacement parts are upgraded? It would stink to go through all that work, and then have to do it again, because the parts aren’t reinforced

That's a good question but unfortunately I don't know. I do know that so far I haven't replaced an after market one but only the oem ones that have failed.

Excellent instructional video. I spent way too much time,effort and worry trying to diagnose my mowers issue. I just did not want to think that a transmission with so few hours would fail and the cost of a replacement was a real issue! I am relieved to see that 4 screws and $100 part solved all of my problems. Thank you!

Either the belt is worn or there could be excessive wear on the plastic selector piece and not fully engaging reverse but not common issues unless it has a ton of hours on the machine.

@georgestrickland9278 6 ай бұрын

just don't buy the d105,the d100 is cheaper and better with a manual transmission,the d110 has a true hydrostatic trans which is good

@mr_fixit 5 ай бұрын

Yes, the hydro or manual is the way to go. Craftsman, Husky, Troy Bilt and Cub Cadet had a similar set up but very simple design and never had an issue other than the belt getting old and dry and start slipping up hill or tensioner pulley freezing up from sitting.
