Those things were a complete and total FAILURE. I worked on one. Cheap and easily broken. The seals in the axles fail because heat and friction damage the plastic housing. This had to be the worse design ever.

722 hours and the K46 in my 2015 Cub Cadet is still running fine, even mowing on somewhat hilly terrain. (even used for plowing snow for 6 winters) It's oil replaced every 2 years with synthetic 5W-40 diesel oil. Also making sure the cooling fan isn't damaged and the fins clean.

My 2023 mower lasted 33 hours before the 3 of the springs in the pistons broke and tore up the pump block. I wonder if they make more money selling transmissions or the parts to keep this junk working. If they were at all concerned about reliability there would be a drain plug and access to the filter. Cub Cadet said the tractor is a throw away by another.

How can you release such a gearbox without a drain plug for changing the oil? A deliberate act to shorten the lifespan and force you to buy a new one.
@michellatour150Ай бұрын
While it's not as easy as a drain plug, you can change the oil by removing the transaxle from the tractor and draining it out of the fill port.

FYI. If you’re using a 40:1 oil mixture, you will always periodically have starting issues. It leans the fuel mixture too much for the auto tune to compensate. Use a good synthetic oil like Klotz etc, and run 45-50:1, and your saw will be at its happiest.

What should have been done is installed the drain plugs in the first place not hard to do but should have been done and a better filter design so you don't have to take it apart change the filter again not hard to do but it is a hassle if they had done that it would have been much easier for the average person to take better care of it but they just want you to throw it away and buy another one
@chuckram21882 ай бұрын
I agree, easier oil change would help. I understand that John Deere puts 10W30 oil in trans at factory and that's too light anyway. I have the John Deere L 101 and it seems to me the whole thing is designed to fail in short order, the Briggs and Stratton motor is a hideous design with a large splash block on the crank. I would think a gear to gear drive would last much longer but could make shifting from forward to reverse more difficult.

For those wondering about the part number for this auger belt, it is HUS 501818201. I changed it recently on this sane machine and the size is 1/2” x 35.6” (some sources say 35.4” and 35.25” but I believe those are wrong). Prior to getting the correct belt I had purchased a 1/2” x 35” and although it fit, it was too small as the auger kept turning even when you released the auger controls (a safety NO NO) and it had a burning smell too so it’s important to get this correct belt I referenced above. Although I did not change the drive belt, that one is HUS 584216102 and the size of that one is 1/2” x 38.2”.

I have the same machine and on mine those pivoting bolts were already tight so I just removed the bolts she did and split the machine. Then I put the same bolts back in and did nothing with the pivoting bolts. So to answer your question you should just make sure all bolts are tight and there’s no need to slacken those 2 pivoting bolts.

It didn’t split in half after removing the bolts that hold the upper part together so l had to remove the pivots 🙆🏽♂️ l tell you this needed 2 people but l ended up doing it myself. Got the job done though, but a lil bit harder 😅 but it worked. Will test it tomorrow,am sure it’ll work though.

@newfie-dean58036 ай бұрын
No, just make sure it’s routed correctly in front of the black plastic idler pulley as when you push down on the auger control that pulley pushes the belt tighter. Also, make sure the belt is fitted on the bottom pulley in the groove of the pulley and not over the brake (steel bracket) and on the top pulley make sure it’s under the steel bracket and in the track of the pulley. That upper steel bracket prevents the belt from coming off the top pulley.

@newfie-dean5803 My belt kept slipping off the pulleys. I originally thought that maybe the belt needed to be tightened. Then I had two belts snap back to back. Turns out I had aI had a bent impeller blade. Once fixed, I have not had any more problems. The winter up here in upper Michigan has been weird, so I have only used it one time, so it appears to be corrected, but I need to use it further to be sure.

I have an Ariens 20hp 46" (93608500) with this transaxle. I purchased it last year with only about 10 hours of use. It had been purchased as new old stock by a neighbor who then only used it part of a summer on a small yard. The transaxle doesn't even have actual seals for the axle shafts like some versions. Mine just has O-rings. It started leaking grease (OO grade) with 20 hours of total use. The paint wasn't even worn off the mower blades. I was second owner of it so could not pursue a warranty replacement. The axle shafts do not have bearings or bronze bushings. They wear directly into the plastic housing. I measured the wear in the housing at 0.072inch on one side and 0.057inch on the other at that time the leaks were discovered. The axle O-rings could not seal with that much movement. The axle shaft wear in the axle housing is significantly worse now after 2 summers of mowing I ended up drilling a hole into the housing and gluing a hose to the housing with epoxy so that I can refill the transaxle with grease when ever it decides to quit driving. I'd love to join a class action lawsuit over how deliberately a poor a design this transaxle is.

Thank you for sharing. I’ve be having a hell of a time trying to get the axle out and now I see I’m wasting my time. Where do you get the grease from? Any specific name brand I should be looking for? Where exactly on the transmission did you put the hole with tube sealed with epoxy so you can add grease when required? I like that idea and want to do the same. Thanks in advance.

Now it has A 810cc Vanguard Briggs and stradden. You can change the oil. You can take transexual out and tip it upside down. Or you can buy a cheap vacuum pump. That's $340. Give or take for a brand new pump And everything else you need. The people that say if they fail, you probably just needed to change the oil. Conventional oil. The one I have really likes 20 weight 50.

Exactly. Change the oil and if you push it harder than it's designed for change the oil more often. A few quarts of oil it's cheap compared to replacing a transmission. The same people that complain it's bad and don't last long are the same people that never do proper maintenance on their car and they use that every day.

Too many plastic levers, springs, control cam, rods etc the things a bloody nightmare. Taryl is spot on about these pieces of junk!
