John Deere 425 445 455 Transaxle Removal

[@FloridaDeere]

Thanks for another great video. I have to remove an AWS unit and replace the center unit from a 2WS, but it's always nice to watch your videos first to pick up any issues you have crossed first.

Appreciate you for all your 425 videos!

Great video and audio, This fellow knows what he's doing

Great video again beef. It is worth mentioning that should someone have a motor in their tractor yet it will have the drive shaft for the charge pump yet, and it will need to be disconnected also. That shaft is located between the 2 hydraulic lines that were disconnected and is connected with 2 (I believe) 13mm bolts.

I meant to mention driveshaft when I was going over the fuel tank etc being removed. Thanks for pointing that out. I think they are 13 mm as well.

If I have motor still mounted, do i only have to disconnect from the charge pump?

[@Fireguy1020]

@@hectormolina3618 If you're just taking the motor out, yes.

[@hectormolina3618]

Thank you !! I ended up removing it front and back. I noticed that on the front end, there's a rubber piece attached to the drive shaft that's cracked 😳

Good video! I have one I'm working on with a leak in the transaxle somewhere. I'll know more once I get it cleaned up and out.

Good video with perfect timing ! I have a 425 with a small transaxle leak on the left side. Almost impossible to see where it’s coming from, I didn’t want to remove it unless I had to. Not quite as involved as I thought, I might get a inspection camera to see in there beforehand. I think it’s leaking around the brake lever input shaft.

Great video thanks I have a 445 that will not release the differential lock can you help with this problem

[@hectormolina3618]

@mmrbeef do you have any videos on how to remove the driveshaft from transaxle on a 455

[@mmrbeef]

I might have a few videos showing the removal from an X485. The principle is the same. You need to remove the bolts from the isolator and then you can drop the driveshaft from under the machine and pull the driveshaft off the transaxle. It’s a pain to do but overall not a terribly hard job.

[@oilcan2787]

There is a small spring on the forward reverse linkage @ the connection. How does it re-attach?

[@jackolson6479]

Is this a beefier transaxle than a 430 transaxle?

[@mmrbeef]

My opinion is the older sunstrand 15u couple with Peerless diff are on par with the K91. The strength of the K91/92 being able to accept a full loader and a wet clutch... other than that both systems are extremely reliable and robust.

mmrbeef gotcha, I found a John Deere f935 for sale on Facebook with a 60 deck, 4 way rotary sweeper and a cozy cab, it has about 2000 hours on the diesel and wondering what price you would label on it? And what problems should I look for if I go to look at the mower?

[@oilcan2787]

That tractor must only be used in parades. Nobody is cutting grass with it. Too pretty.
