Hydrogear transaxle reassembly, part 2

[@philliphall5198]

What type of oil do I put back into it ?? Is there a place to add oil ???

[@ravenbarsrepairs5594]

I honestly don't remember as it's been 6 years. I'll see if I can find the manual hydrogear manual I found.

[@steelernation9320]

is this using a rebuild kit?

[@ravenbarsrepairs5594]

No, I was just installing a new thrust bearing on one of the pump/motors(can't remember which as it's been a while)

Ravenbar's Repairs thank you where did you find the part or did you just get it from a parts store

@@steelernation9320 All my records show it that I paid $13.51 via PayPal to Interstate of San Jose CA. From what I recall, I searched online for the part I needed(either I pulled a number off the bearing or I looked it up in a parts diagram). Then I ordered it from whatever site I found that had the part. My theory on the cause of failure is that a couple weeks before it broke, I used the tractor to tow a junk Ford Ranger out back and I had to do a couple hard jerks to get it to move.
