I really appreciate this fix, I just made the same thing after watching your video , these are great little tractors

I had that happen on my 425. The header pipe into muffler cracked and cooked my grille.

What size Verail Flares are needed for the large and small lines. and where did you order them from ?Thanks,Great video !

very good work. thanks from france

Great vdo

Is there a model number on the pump?

Great job. saved me some time looking for parts and some $$. God Bless and have a great day

Excellent video, I enjoyed watching.

nice work on the pump. and congrats on the trophy for best tractor at the show.

How’s it doing

Thanks for the video! My '96 445 was leaking fluid badly at the transaxle so a full reseal was done last winter and it's been working great ever since. This video was a great aid in addition to other resources. A few things: In addition to what Mr Raible has shown, after almost 30 years of spinning-up a 60" mower deck the PTO clutch in this tractor needed a rebuild. It's a good idea to check the clutch plates when you are into the transaxle this far. Search for "deere 425 K91 transmission" for an excellent forum article with parts list. You should also search for the tractor and Tuff-Torq K92 (seems the same) service manuals. As long as you do your homework and take it seriously this repair is within the reach of many DIYers. Since the dealer repair cost is roughly the value of the tractor, you don't have a lot to lose. Pull the transaxle, clean it thoroughly and take your time.

I've watched this 3 times, and I'm still scared to tear into my 455 :( What is that book you're using that shows the exploded view of the tractor?

What is the gasket grease you’re using? Thx!!

Did a 445 or 455 deisle rider. Had to do the line from steering motor over to the hydraulic box dodad. And the lines were a good inch and half off were bends were supposed to. But I made it happen

How long did the whole process take?

Hi, where did you buy that book?

Thank you for this video. Could you share what you used for what looks like a fluid applied gasket?

Great video - just doing the repair now - I'm attempting it without taking the trans out - its been leaking for years - your video shows all the detail and good overview - I used a grinder and sawzall to cut between the large hole and the small hole over the gear shaft to get enough room for the snap ring pliers - the o-ring part barcode number is 1 CH17653 the other numbers on the pack are 20211117DY2 and 2709 JOHN DEERE its only a couple of bucks for one pack - I have 3 packs.

what did you use to seal mating surfaces?

What "Red" did you use with the Rattle Can? Do you recommend it?

How much was the pump?

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I've been dreading this task, putting it off. But now, I have to make these repairs on mine !!. I Can't afford to pay the stealerships outrageous repair cost. It's time to rip it apart & cut some grass.

Mine did same thing..lotta work to snatch out tuff tourque rearend..had dealer swap seals after i disassemble d .not a job for shadtree mechs .lol. great machine!! If vent plugs, itll blow out seals..

Why didn't you take the line off to cut it instead of using a little hand hack saw and trying to clean the burrs underneath.

Dang it, my 425 was slipping, took it out, apart, found one case plate was broken where the right bearing is. Replaced the side case. Less then an hour later started again. Looks like I'm digging deeper this time. Great video.

Great video! Was a lot of help! What seat do you have?

Great video!

Where did you obtain that hydro bpump kit ?

Daniel, I have a 425 and I need a rear axel. If by chance you have an extra one laying around. My drive shaft U joint for the deck come apart and the transmission part flopped around and now it leaks real bad, and I can't find out where. I live in Western Kentucky can you help me?

Every idea that comes up is helpful! Thanks for your efforts!

Manufacturers could build a dustless saw but probably have determined the sales of such would not be profitable. It's the guys who have these saws in a closed room...like me...that need dust collection.

Many Many thanks for this video. I have the same leaking problem and your work help me a lot.

Very helpful, replaced my packings on right side threw the frame. but HELP! New trans filter will not thread. 3rd one home from JD dealer… it threads w/o gasket but with on my bolt wont catch filter threads :||

My 445 has a leak on the petal side. I just kept putting more fluid in it when it got low until snow season ended I planned on fixing it but now it won’t move or do anything after a few minutes. Did I ruin the pump or charge pump? I’d like to get it running again.

Nice seat

Quite a job. Beyond my capability and that of my mechanics as well I think.

Well done. The sound is hard to hear. Other than that, one of the best video's I've found.

Wow. what a great video. I have a leak somewhere over on the left side of my 425 rear end. Thinking either the brake seal, or the rear differential lock seal. Don't suppose you are in Wisconsin are you? LOL...I'd hire you to do mine. You did such a great job.

Good video. My Differential lock won't disengage. Was hoping to see a little more of it in here but I will just have to dig into it. Once you had an AWS you would have the old style.

On my 2000 Ford selectshift I was hooked to my boots are I'll pick you up when out and mow a little bit I when I got ready to come back in about an hour I went to lift a bush hog up and nothing happened it did not even try to pick up up until 9 picking up fine completely quit all at once

That little tractor works great.

What is the sealant that’s brushed on? Is it used on both gasketed and non gasketed surfaces?

I'm about to replace my third coupler repair kit. Sometimes I get lazy when snapping that coupler onto the PTO shaft and this is the price to pay. Maybe one day I'll learn.

Maybe little off topic, but does your deck has a mulch kit? Just curious because the end result of mowing is fabulous !

Thank you Daniel for recording, editing and posting this video. Helped me tremendously in narrowing down my leak on left side and getting Diff. Lock seal - M806040 from dealer and replacing myself.

Very poor sound quality. Just saying.

Where did you get your parts catalog

my shaft came apart just the other day, your video very well done,just what I needed, was feeling rather apprehensive but after seeing how easy a fix it is I can relax. The kit cost 201.00 bucks Canadian. JD shure knows how to sock it to you . Thanks for your video.

Really helpful. Thanks. Note - John Deere O-Ring - CH10570 has been replaced by John Deere O-Ring - MIU804787

Anyone else have any trouble with the forward/reverse action after connecting it back up? It looks like there is only one way this arm at 24:56 connects. It went on fine but now that I am hooking up the linkage, it only moves for reverse. Forward seems to be frozen. Does the damper need to be adjusted or anything? The linkage lines right back up just like when I disconnected it. I'm so close to being done, just this last problem!
