There's A LOT of different filters and kits for many different models/brands etc. So be sure to use your Serial Number to look up the correct parts for your transmission. You can do so on the Tuff Torq website. We'll have a video coming Wednesday on how to look up parts incase you're wondering.... www.TUFFTORQ.com And THERE's Your Dinner!!

My Dinner still can't be shipped to Australia. Any word on when you will be able to ship to Australia mate?

[@blacksmokematters4521]

Guess you had to replace the smashed muffler 🤣

[@thyubernoob]

Customer: Did you test drive my mower afterwards? Taryl: Oh, I test drove it! 👍

[@carolinaprepper540]

That was smooth with the knife in the pocket 😀 I thought you were gonna give it back closed then you put it in your pocket. That was great !!!! 😆

[@tombarker2369]

i saw right away also--pretty slight of hand, lol.

[@frankr.1594]

And i though it was Taryls' and Scruffy gave him back....🤔🔙

[@Carder97]

@15.58 Customer is going to be like ,’what the hell happened to my muffler shroud it’s mashed 😂🙏🏻 .Great informative video guys! Funny as always

Can't wait to watch when I get home from Church!

[@daryleduardo7055]

Terrell smashed that dude's muffler cowling

[@FishFind3000]

[@toddhughes3641]

On my GRAVLY it has screw oil filters that look just like regular oil filters Like a Engine oil filter. It takes 20w50 oil. That’s a great teaching terrell

[@rick8676]

I always hope Taryl will do zero turn stuff, our Toro 42" timecutter has been through hell with a fairly steep hill in our yard. Watching the wife slide down with one wheel spinning backwards I am amazed it even moves anymore.

[@Enchanted3DPrints]

I used one commerically for 2 years cutting probably 1500 yards or more and many hundreds of hours runtime . Then gave it to my dad. Idler pulley bearings went out twice and uhhh i replaced the front and rear tires once. Still original belts. I replaced them before givbing it to my dad but they showed little sign of wear. Great mowers. I bought a bigger Toro. I also used them working on a golf course. Hands down my favorite brand. Should last a home owner practically forever

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Nice to see Tough Torque is made in USA and supports their products.

[@LiveInOC]

Taryl pocketed Scruffy's pocket knife...no pun intended

[@Jakeplayz659]

loving the scruffy character and the coming back in the shop thing...nice comedy sirs!

[@deanmoore420]

Nice job changing the transmission fluid 👍

[@christophersiano969]

Amsoil makes a good replacement oil for the Tuff Torq boxes. Handles thermal breakdown better. Had issues with a lawn tractor on a slope in the heat of the summer. Was told to try the Amsoil and never had another problem.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

If tough torque wanted Amsoil in their transmissions they would put Amsoil in their transmission

[@tileguy0078]

The mower medic I disagree with that comment Amsoil is proven to be one of the top oils and synthetics on the market today

[@tileguy0078]

Amsoil is all I use in my zero turns it’s the best far as I’m concern

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

@@tileguy0078 yes but it lacks the anti foaming and sheer properties that the tuff torque transmission requires. Just use what the oem recommends

[@christophersiano969]

@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 Strange... Amsoil specifically states that the Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil has both shear and anti-foaming additives. I respectfully disagree with your view on this.

[@jdmccorful]

Wheelies are happening! Another good learning adventure. Thanks boys!

[@johndii2194]

Holy Cow! The customer brought the manual in! It was too good to be true.

[@michaelcastellanos8873]

Ahaha that Kwai is like I’m throw a rod after them killer wheelies lmao 😅

[@landonthompson5604]

When I was a kid I enjoyed popping wheelies on my grampas riding lawnmowers, I still enjoy it to this day and I'm glad to be not the only man either.

[@tommybounds3220]

Thank you for the video

[@tmurray1972]

You gonna need a lot more ketchup packets…lol🤣😂🤣😂 you tell’em Taryl.

[@Antimortem]

Hi taryl, please explain, or even a video about the " funnel notch ". I do a lot of oil changes and I wanna know what you mean👍

[@tsmith578]

Hey Taryl ! I Seen on KZbin that some Smoes .. from Lawn stars Called you out ...?! . I Don't know who those guys are ,. and I have never even heard of them before . But I wanted to let you know I'm one of your frequent viewers that got your back . I have working on stuff since I was a kid , and I know how to spot a intelligent mechanic that has experience . So whatever challenge those guys have is likely going to be horse pucky . So go kick some asz buddy ! 👍. and thank you for all your videos . Tim from Wisconsin .

Awesome awesome awesome good old Spartan mowers made right here in my home town 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Thank you

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Would you cover this same procedure on the Hydro-Gear transmission sometime in the future?

[@michaelglynn2638]

Good stuff guys, Scruffy was on form😂

It's Sunday has to be good 1 day of the week

[@krisanderson997]

Woooo tuff torque doing a wheelie woooo! Show off. Lol 😆

[@johnb5519]

Nice, I wish my old Time Cutter had a drain system like that.

[@wg4405]

OK Taryl since you did that pump it's time to bring that Woods Front Deck Mower ( AKA Grasshopper ) in the shop and show us how to rebuild that Gemini pump/motor . Good tip on the 450 pump seems that's the one to get in a zero turn !!! The customer who owns that Spartan is probably so proud his mower is in the video 🤔😄😆

[@w2dmw]

Thanks Taryl, for the demo, at the end, on how to abuse equipment, as a child would.. .

[@progun2015]

Good video

I want to know more about these tech sporks.

Good job

Those tuff torque transmission are tough.

Scruffy's mower is really clean, underneath.

[@ramirocortez6392]

New sub ! Could you please do a video on parker pump hydraulic oil change

[@shanemak47]

Now I'd like to see a review and your thoughts on that there spartan mower. I've got a rt pro but it's got the parker transmission

[@justsaying4195]

I'm sure if one is in for service and it's different from the rest of the r&r the cameraman will be there

[@andybonneau9209]

I saw you pick Scruffy's folding knife Taryl. 😁

[@jensenwilliam5434]

You pocketed scruffy knife.

[@partymanau]

That drive belt has seen better days too Taryl.

[@harryerhart5978]

Looks like my JD ztrac transmissions not sure if we have drain plugs 😁

[@effenfish661]

i need to change the fluid in an old hydro-gear transmission. manual says i can use 20w-50. it has an expansion tank too that has to be drained separately.

[@marcelcanuck]

sure would like to see this set up on the regular lawn tractors as well , wouldn't have to take the diff all apart just for an oil change

[@marcelcanuck]

@Spokes 100 i have the k66 on my 140 deere and it has no drain plug . i think there's a drain plug kit that can be purchased from Tuff Torq , if one is willing to go through the effort of dismantling and reassemble their transaxle to change the oil it would be a good idea to look into it .

[@justsaying4195]

This is great information when I purchase my ZT, there will be a never ending question and answer session

[@GrandPrix46]

Now I want a zero turn mower, that I have no use for whatsoever.

[@marcmo7138]

Those transmissions must be Tuff with all that Torq pulling wheelies.

[@timmersoft]

Your very generous giving customers 30 days to pick up completed work before changing them. I normally give them 10 days. But I don’t have much space.

[@jamesaucutt8284]

Hey Terrell I have a Cub cadet zero turn it has a normal steering wheel and it has individual transmissions in the back what type of fluid does it take I’m not sure what the transmission brand is

[@moondogdieselworks3883]

Badass machine

[@ar.d.410]

Love tfa

[@mauropluto4557]

Very good, but the Mechanic is great at identifying every problem. I follow you from Italy I follow all your videos, unfortunately I don't know English, I help myself with google translator but the manual operations performed by the super mechanic are understood very well. I wanted to ask you if you have the opportunity to make a video on the husqvarna Awd rider as he hi one but unfortunately there is almost nothing on the net thanks bye.

[@chukzombi]

i wonder if Tuff Torq sponsored this video. hehe

[@anthonypuccio9575]

Some ketchup, hot sauce, a sweatshirt and a knife. I assume you kept it in your pocket. Not bad unless Scruffy see's this!!🙃

[@pyromedichd1]

Taryl stole Scruffy's pocket knife.

great now i gotta do mine lol just hope i get a full gal of fluid , 3.7l in a gal. lol

Hey Taryl, I also have a Spartan mower but it has the 10cc Parker transmissions on it. I can't seem to find any info on servicing them. I'm at the 150 hour mark on my mower and it needs to be done. Do you know if any info on changing the fluid on these transmissions? Thanks in advance! And I love the videos! Joey S.

[@FishFind3000]

Try contacting Parker. They will know what best for your pump/motor.

[@littleeagle7563]

Smashed the muffkin guard.

[@rat8356]

at the end in the parking lot....thats exactly what zero turns do to your yard

[@daryleduardo7055]

Or muffkin guard when he did that first wheelie

[@waypointproductions8248]

I have an issue with my SWISHER Zero turn .. It has the Eaton motors that are no longer available after talking with SWISHER ... They stated there are no longer parts for the motors and their new mowers have a different brand motors that would not fit on my older SWISHER. I was wondering if there has been any modifications because EATON is not longer available and the mod actually shows how to convert a different brand motor.

[@troy3052]

Depending on the model transmission, it seems like eaton doesn't sell parts, just the whole unit. Had a simplicity, that had trouble, I had to buy the whole unit. It was a eaton 778. There are companies after I bought a new one that rebuilds them.

[@andrewgilchrist4399]

Taryl AKA The Wheelie King.

[@vincentrobinette1507]

The serviceable oil filter is the only way to go. I would rather have NO filter and change oil more frequently, than to have a filter that can clog up, and not have a way to replace. I don't understand the thinking behind that. I know that some CVT transmissions and also transaxles in some electric vehicles that have built-in, non-serviceable filters. I don't like that any better. For those, I would rather see "spin-on" filters, like those used on engines.

[@rockomagistri]

It's a closed system. Unless you like dumping dirt in there it really shouldn't clog.

[@meatballmagoo6134]

Splenda packet ?

[@outtatime4512]

I do the wheelie burp too

A little redemption for the last Tuff Torq video. That one made them look pretty bad.

That oil looked like it had ALOT of life left in it.

[@ellabayforever]

Taryl I was talking to Scruffy and he said you aren't getting the wolf top until you return his knife you Bandit! (his words not mine).

[@matthewsones5287]

Glad my mower has hydraulic pumps and motors instead of a transmission. Standard motor oil and standard filter without the need of raising it up…

[@fair2middlin]

The Continuity People from BroGro called and said the knife was Scruffy's and that he looked a lot like Slippers

[@gregthompson3238]

not sure why he only showed one side and didn't mention to do other side as he was servicing

[@710pappy]

Why does this video and lighting quality look so different than your others 🤨

[@mikespain8655]

Toro just bought Spartan last week for $400 million bucks.

[@edgenet1]

Taryl is beating this tuff trans to death, I guess he wants to keep his dealership.

[@FishFind3000]

Gotta keep the partner happy if you want free stuff. I don’t mind as long as it’s actually useful info he’s giving.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Spartan will be my next mower. Dollar for dollar the features and build quality are far superior to their competitor bad boy and big dog

[@honklerton732]

TARYL!!!!!!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED WHAT BRAND OF KETCHUP PACKETS!!!!!! 10 BUCKS AND MY LEFT NUT SAYS THOSE ARE NOT HEINZ!!!! YOU GOT BAMBOOZLED!!!!! and on yeah... if anyone offers you mustard packets make sure they are the FRENCHES brand (heinz sucks at making mustard compared to Frenches, grey pupon is also an acceptable substitute - or even better depending on your taste). I am really big on condiments... they usually take up a good portion of my fridge - so I make sure they are the proper brands that taste good at least. You know what they say for us lifelong bachelors (not sure if you are but I am - MONK MODE 4 LIFE - MAN GOING HIS OWN WAY HERE!!!) If you're going to have nothing to eat you might as well have something good to put on it!!!! You'd be surprised at what MAGIC I can do with some cup of ramen (I learned a lot from watching those videos from ex-cons on youtube who would get all crazy creative with the commisary they were allowed to buy. Did you know you can make a burrito with cup of ramen even? Great stuff!!! There's even a video on how to make "prison peanut brittle"... I knot your shit!)

[@chrisbrown7362]

Will Work For Rally's Coupons And Ketchup Packets . . . And A Ratty Old Sweatshirt.

[@Lulanda93]

Tough Torque in my opinion is about the junkiest rear ends you can buy. They constantly are going out at low hour intervals and the joke of service kits they try to sale you are so overpriced you might as well buy a new transmission, better yet a whole new unit. Back in the day when Tecumseh and spicer made all the gear driven rear ended no one ever even thought about having to repair the transmission as they never failed. I get it tough torque is a company that’s here to make money however they’re Hyrdo units seem to be designed to fail and I just can’t justify the price for the low quality products no matter how I look at them. It’s a lot like The Snapper and John Deere names, used to be some of the best products around and now they are nothing but a Bastardized Zombie brand, that the name alone, gives people a false since of quality.

[@mrpotatoheadracing]

You're correct. I've tore down several of these Tufftorq units with less than 500 hours for major repairs. John Deere Ztrak mainly. Junk...

First use of his new machine. Break in procedure. I hope the first is dealer free and a much longer use period. Unsold me just on this maintenance!

[@FishFind3000]

That’s for a break in oil change. My jd tractor wanted an engine oil change at 7 hours then at every 50 after
