My neighbor gave me a John Deere L128. The trans leaks fluid. John Deere told here to buy a new one. Hopefully it's the seals. Wish me luck.

I'm glad that this transmission can be completely rebuilt, and not a throwaway.

[@caddylover3510]

JUST finished doing this on my K46 from a Husqvarna 20/42. Took 3 years for it to completely die on me so i picked up the kit out of the US because NOT ONE DEALER IN MANITOBA could source the part number i needed. Took 3 weeks to get here and $750 CDN later on the rebuild kit and it works! Took a bit to get it all bled out, but just cut 2 acres with it and it will actually go up a slight incline without issue now. My symptoms were a nasty whine from the tranny as well as no power at all. Just crawled like a turtle and then died. Changed the drive belt multiple times thinking that was the problem and no joy. It was always the pump, motor and case. I'm pretty mechanically savy, but this video certainly helped me. Thx Taryl

Taryl Makes The Best Video's of Anyone

[@chriswarren2599]

Great video Taryl. The trans I rebuilt is now working perfectly. Instead of buying a rebuild kit for £300, I had both rotors machined, removed approx 5 thousands of an inch from each one. I then cleaned out the crankcase thoroughly with petrol, reassembled, added fresh oil, refitted trans to the mower (a Countax) and it works a treat. Many thanks from England😊👍

[@bwp253]

which specific piece do you machine? Is it the round "motor" that holds the five pistons?

[@chriswarren2599]

@@bwp253 hiya, yes, what happens is the surfaces becomes scored, these micro grooves cause pressure drop as the oil squeezes out through the grooves. Taryl shows this in the video.

[@peterchang7646]

I've seen on one of the forums where people sand the surface smooth with 800-2000 grit sandpaper on plate glass to restore the power. I am thinking about draining my k46 and refilling it. It's from ~2003 Scotts JD L2048, but it only has 310hrs on it. Our yard is mostly flat, we rarely trailer with it, and I'm the heaviest rider at 200lbs.

[@stevesterling6514]

I had a john deere D110 i purchased for $75.00 trans would not move not even in neutral. I pulled the transmission out after watching Taryls video and found a $4.00 bearing demolished. Replaced the bearing and the trans worked great! Thanks for the great video!

[@Avidfisher777]

As a Mechanic for over 40 year's it's easy to tell Teryl is a very seasoned Mechanic.

[@spkay31]

This is one of your very best videos. These hydrostatic transmissions are really not that bad to service if you see a thorough demonstration of the servicing procedure. I've watched two other videos prior to this one and yours is really excellent, covering all the details and explaining some of the important details of the design of the parts and how to avoid errors in the reassembly procedure. These transmissions are really expensive to replace (practically the cost of the tractor) so servicing one that is working but no longer delivering the original amount of torque and speed is going to save people a lot of money if they can spend the time to do the rebuild.

[@robertcharman4994]

I had an oil leak in my JD D125, due to a rock being thrown up from the blades. It caused a graze with a tiny hole in the aluminium casing below the diff section. I contacted my JD dealer who said, the only way to repair it was a replacement Tuff Torq transaxle at Au$975.00. Thanks to Taryl's video series and a tube (actually two tubes as it's an epoxy mix) of JB Weld, the whole job took less than an hour and cost less than Au$20.00. I also fashioned a steel 'bash plate' to go under the transaxle, so, hopefully, it won't happen again. Thanks from the real deep south, South Australia, there ain't nothing souther than us.

[@DeezelScout]

Thanks for the video! I put this project off for a few years since I burned up the K46 in my JD LA175 from pulling an aerator. It really wasn't that bad to do and people told me I was nuts for taking it apart. It just takes patience. I kept thinking what a waste it would be to just scrap the tractor with a good engine in it. Well, it's back in and no longer wanting to lay down on me after a half hour of use. Once again, thanks!

[@jpara98]

I am rebuilding my K46CR and I truly appreciate this video. It is all the details of which way the blocks face, the pins and filter, etc that make this a perfect! Thank you!

[@carlschroeder6811]

Taryl, love your humor! If you take it down to that level, to save a bunch of cash, you can block sand the 4 pump and motor surfaces with 1500 grit wet sand paper using the motor/pump rotors as the blocks, only takes a few minutes each to flatten and refresh both surfaces. It doesn't take much grooving (.005" or less) of those surfaces to lose pressure.

[@bwp253]

have you tried this successfully? I saw it on another video and was wondering if the surface is planar enough at the end. Trying to save the $400+ that a rebuilding kit cost!

[@carlschroeder6811]

@@bwp253 Absolutely, i have a granite surface plate I use the edge of. Just cut in half and laid the 1500 grit on the plate, kept spraying plate and paper with water and worked the parts back and forth with even pressure until all groves were gone. had to remove the locating dowel pin from the aluminum body to get more room to work it. PS that isn't my post above with my name on it, I posted a much longer step by step procedure describing how I do it from removal, disassembly, resurfacing, reassembly and re-installation, don't know what happened to it YT is screwy sometimes.

[@biopsiesbeanieboos55]

Never heard of them but feel like I need a complete set immediately.

[@sadie77711]

It's called a drift punch.

[@anthonywilson4873]

So input pulley and belt, drive the drive pump with the springs and pump plungers, they bear on the swash plate. The Swash plate is sprung to a flat position meaning no pumping, if you rock the swash plate either way the plungers start to stroke, pumping oil one way or the other for forward or reverse, the amount of tilt on the plate varies the amount of oil the drive pump delivers. This feeds the corresponding plungers in the output pump driving the stack of gears going to the differential. The output pump plungers drive against the ramp which can be put one way or the other to reverse operation of controls. Pin pushes valve faces apart to provide a positive neutral. Filter is on suction from sump. Interesting stuff thanks Taryl. Seems like changing oil and filter on a regular basis saves the day in most equipment. The two dampers for forward and reverse selection initially dampen the transmission take up by allowing some of the oil going to the output pump to press the piston back against spring as the rest of the oil heads to the output pump driving section, causing a slower take up. Should wear gloves oil is not good on hands long term, so should I😀

[@stewp.3298]

The Sound Effects are brilliant and help me to better pay attention to this video. I'm going to nominate you for The Academy Award for Best Sound!

[@eyeorewolf]

Proper terminology: Pins=Pistons, Little washer=Swash Plate, Thing The Little Pins Are In=Barrel, It's basically a hydraulic piston pump with a piston motor for the output with two cross port relief valves to make up a hydrostatic transmission. That you for this video. I was just looking for fluid change procedures and came across your video. It seems Huskvarna went out of their way to make these mowers as close to disposable as possible but where there's a will there's always away. Thanks again.

[@thaddholdinghausen8039]

Thanks! Ended up having a cracked bearing washer on the middle pump. Waiting on parts.

[@stansorochman2701]

Taryl, for turning the pump to prome it, I cut a small 3 in section of 1/2" copper pipe then slotted each end and used a 10 mm socket to drive it with my drill driver. Secured the pipe ends with worm gear clamps. Like your videos. Thanks

Agree just dropped my transmission for a broken axle. No fear with this guy.

[@donhook3544]

Great video! Helped me rebuild my Husqvarna hydro. But I came across an idea that helped me with the reassembly. I put a rubber band around the spring-loaded pistons before installing the motor and pump blocks to hold them from falling out. After installing, I used some hemostats to hold the rubber band, then used a pair of scissors to cut the rubber band and just pulled it out. Simple and makes the job much easier. If you don't have hemostats you could use a pair of needle nose pliers.

[@mikefriesdrums]

This is an awesome video. It’s so much fun to watch somebody that really knows what the hell they’re doing. I love it. I had to do this very same thing to the transmission in my LX279 about four years ago and I did have a video on KZbin from some guy showing how to do it but it wasn’t as good as this video. I wish I had this video back then. Pressure washing the transmission before you crack it open is a must, it’s so nice to have everything clean when you’re taking it apart

[@clarkkent4991]

Thanks for the info! Dude you are very neat and organized!!! I like the way that you clean off the crud and junk before you open a system up for service. I see people just open them up with dirt and all kinds of junk around it. I’m just a regular guy and I like to work on my own equipment. I’ve gotten burned letting strangers and shops work on my stuff. You normally don’t find out until you get into it yourself. I take pride in my work. Done right done once. I had my mower tipped up and leaked some trans fluid out. I think I need to add some fluid to mine. Gonna start that task right now. Gotta figure out where the fill line is on mine. I saw the fill cap. I have a Cub Cadet SLT1550. Thanks again.

Another job well done. Sometimes I save some time & money by purchasing a junk mower with the same trans and just swap. There are lots of mowers with rusted out decks that drive just fine and most people are willing to give them away or for very cheap. Not taking anything away from the excellent job you did, just giving an alternative. Keep up the great work.

[@russfauver2495]

GREAT video that helped me alot. Thank you. Have you ever replaced the outer axle bushings? I did. I used a long 3/8 steel rod to drive out the old bushings from the inside and a large drill press as a press with flat washers of the correct thickness and diameter to press the new bushings in to the correct depth in 3 steps. The 1st step was to press the bushing in to the same depth as the outside of the transaxle housing. The 2nd step installed the bushing to the same depth as the bottom of the seal pocket. The 3rd step pressed the bushing another 0.0875 to the correct depth in the transaxle housing. I froze the bushings for a couple of days before I pressed them in and was surprised how easy the bushings were to press in. I had everything ready before I took the bushings out of the freezer one at a time to press them in. I used micrometers to measure the diameter and thickness of the flat washers. I hope this information is useful to anybody who replaces Tuff Torq transaxle outer axle bushings.

This is a really well done video. Clear and concise. The details are what will save the first time home repairman from making mistakes. SALUTE. There is a guy selling the whole transaxle unit labeled as a K66 for $2000! He started out selling them for $800 about 7 years ago but now it's up to 2K. This will hopefully save my friend from spending way more than he needs to. With a bit of luck the seal and filter kit will get his running again. I have it at my house right now. Sucking out the oil and refilling it didn't fix it. I suspect the filter is clogged.

Sometimes when air is in the center block, you can assist the bleed process by pulling the neutral lever out and then spin the main shaft as shown. This allows that tiny pin to bleed any trapped air out of the power cylinder "pistons". Then return it and spin again.

[@billburkart9087]

Hmmm that would explain why my trans would not move until I put it in neutral and shifted back and forth and then put it in gear. I really thought I had made it worse on my first test drive. I think I filled mine with 10w-40 synthetic racing oil.

[@DougHanchard]

@@billburkart9087 5W50 is a better choice if you run your tractor in extreme cold winter's and hot summer seasons.

[@mrbubetube]

I was wondering, when he spun the transmission at the end, shouldn't he have re-checked the oil level after bleeding out the air bubbles? Isn't it important to top off the oil after bleeding out the air bubbles?

[@DougHanchard]

@@mrbubetube Not if the full quantity of oil is put into the case. The goal of spinning the axle shafts is to bleed air out of the hydraulic circuits (the Power and Drive Hydrastatic cylinders) that compress the oil in the center block. Trapped air is then displaced into the case where a small pocket of air exist anyway. This is why the case is never filled to the top, which allows for expansion and contraction of the oil as it heats up.

[@mrbubetube]

@@DougHanchard ah ok, thanks.

If you buy a new lawn mower best to take the rear wheels off and put anti sieve on the axle in case you need to take the wheels off later. Saves a ton of work if you have to take them off later. Just a tip

[@anthonywilson4873]

Applies to truck hubs as well. We had brand new 8 wheelers with brake drums. First time hubs came off was 24 weeks some needed smashing of, the extractor bolts would just pull their threads. When new pull off all hubs and copper slip mating surfaces lightly, saves time and money down the line. Funny how things are the same across all fields we can all learn.

[@ThunderDog]

I've rebuilt two of these. The k46 is complete garbage in my opinion. That's part of the reason why the big box stores can sell riding mower's for so cheap. Luckily, I found a k66 on surpluscenter and never had a problem after I made the conversion. Good video.

Thanks for the informative videos! I have watched many, u r the best, u even known the names and operations of the parts 😮 I am deciding on rebuilding my cub cadet-K46 XT2 -435hrs. No go in forward/reverse. My dealer in Morristown,Tn. Said Sorry,have a nice day! Why don’t the dealers/sellers of the mowers tell u this ? It’s not in the maintenance manual, if u call tuff Torq for info or help they say sorry for your problem and did u service the unit at 50hrs then every 200hrs after!!!! No I was not informed .pass this on ,Thanks Oh yea don’t even try calling Cub customer service! U will be ingorned by a computer 😢
