I got a scag V ride hydro pump where the release valve threads are stripped smooth half way down. Think I could braze some aluminum and metal the existing threads? Just wondering about the holding power since the hydro pumps are pressurized systems.

I'm a vehicle mechanic by trade, never had to deal with lawnmower transmitions up until mine shat the bed, after hunting on KZbin I finally found a decent video to watch, awesome detail and information aswel as a real good sense of humor, keep up the good work this video is worth it's weight in Gold

[@davidcarlson4533]

Thanks a million for making an easy to understand set of instructions. My trans went completely dead after 224 hours. After disassembling, I found a pump piston spring ($.83) had disintegrated, and it's pieces gouged out the surface of the pump. Replaced the pistons and springs and the unit, and to my amazement today, and delight, it works! JD wanted $1300. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Compress-ion with that short stare at the camera, it just hurts soo much the next morning from laughing, and then trying to say it while laughing just hurts more.

This is an amazing teardown and tutorial on the K46, which i get is very common and econonical. But I would Really Love to see you do this for the K66, which is Tuff Torq's lowest level of ground engaging transaxle. Definately a more permanent unit, stands up to pushing snow, pulling carts, hills... etc. (i have a "Johnny Bucket" on mine, which i am shocked Taryl hasn't had given to him... rediculously helpful). Anyway, if you could do something like this for the K66, I Know many, many guys (gals?) would greatly appreciate it. TT is a Great company for being so open to their customers and owners, really different than anyone in the mechanical world.

I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel! I just had a problem with my transmission when I went to mow my yard for the first time yesterday. Trans seems to be skipping and surging. I will keep this video bookmarked so I can take mine apart next week. Thank you so much!!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Follow up: I took my transmission out and disassembled it with your video playing on my laptop by my work bench. I carefully took photos of it as I took it apart but I messed up BIG time when I put it back together!! I put mine back EXACTLY as you put yours together, but I DID NOT refer to my photos. I installed it and when I pushed the forward pedal, it went backwards!! Took it out, looked at my photos and saw that my transmission has the large end of the wedge shaped part opposite of yours. I reversed it and it now works perfectly. I would never had the confidence to take it apart without your video and help! By the way, my transmission is a K46BT3 and it works perfectly thanks to you!! Oh, and I also downloaded a parts breakdown from Tuff Torq by serial number and it also showed how mine was supposed to be assembled. Live and learn.

[@jarretpeart2833]

I no longer use a tractor with this transmission, but could have used this info when mine quit working. Not a very robust unit in my opinion.Very helpful and informative video!

[@mikespain8655]

The Tuff Torq K46 transmission is very common in many riding mowers. Overall, it does a good job and doesn't have many problems. Avoid heavy pulling and steep grades for longer service life. Old oil and overheating, combined with neglect and abuse is often the problem.

[@markchriestenson3257]

[@Tech-tipsntricks]

Love your videos !! I’m a Canadian Grass Rat ! All you did was perfect…….just want to add my 2 cents…..had issues with these budget transmissions losing drive when hot under load……was due to oil getting thin when hot and hydro pump losing pressure from that forward reverse orifice you mentioned losing too much oil though it, due to the thin oil. A fix we found was drawing out oil which is actually equal to 10w30…..or John Deere low viscosity hydraulic oil and replacing it with John Deere Hygard oil or even straight 30 weight oil for customers with lots of hills and pulling lawn rollers. Also I think wear on spider gears is probably due to loss of wheel traction and excessive spinning through differential, maybe a snow blade , snow blower or hilly terrain issue. Love your videos !! Take care guys !! P/ S I use a plastic shower curtain rod decorative cover….for seal installs…….comes in a 4 ft length, really cheap and is Plastic and snaps over axle, crankshaft, whatever, you just snip off in length you need !!

[@luuk-out-below9804]

I wish Tuff would make these easier to service. I wonder why they don't have a replaceable filter from the outside and a oil drain and fill so you don't have to remove the trans. Its like they designed this so it wears out after 5-7 years.

[@FishFind3000]

That’s an option for some of there models. It’s the manufacture here that asks if they want it or not. They use it as a selling point to buy the higher end model with the filters and easy service.

[@partymanau]

Yeah a filter u get from the outside would be great.

[@luuk-out-below9804]

@@FishFind3000 crazy, what tier do you need to get to before they include the drains and filters? I recently bought a commercial huskie and no drain and filter .

It doesn't have a charge pump to push the fluid through an external filter. It would be nice to make it easier to drain and replace the fluid though, that may help some.

[@NA-pg4lf]

You inspired me to go to the local junkyard and buy a chipper shredder. Only thing I see wrong with it is the float bowl needle seal was jammed. They let it sit for 10 years. I cleaned the carb , made sure it would pop off with ether. It looks brand new, no scratches on the paint. I’m betting it I get it running mint for $20. Paid $80 for the entire unit

[@daver6699]

I have had great luck using your excellent videos for the K46 trans. Thank you very much for your vids. Now I have a customer with a K62 trans out of a JD 190 C that has me scratching my head?? It is a 20 year old mower but she has kept it in immaculate shape. There isn't even a tear in the seat and it fires up like a new engine. No more parts available from Tuff Torq. It seems a shame to trash a perfectly good mower over a worn out trans.

[@williamblack7268]

YOU AND YOUR CAMERA PERSON DESERVE TOP BILLING OF ALL VIDEOS AND YOUR SOUND VOLUME IS PERFECT. YOU MISSED NO, NO, DETAILS OF THIS VIDEO! SUPERB!

[@TradeWorks_Construction]

From what I remember a lot of the John Deere Tuff Torque K46 hydrostatic transmissions were INCORRECTLY FILLED with generic 10w30 SAE Motor oil due to a mixup of recording the Tuff Torque TL-200 requirements data sheet (restrictions on shipping if they had been properly filled before leaving Tuff Torque factory for final install at John Deere factory so it was most cost effective to fill them right before sale) which was what happened. However the K46 isn’t exactly built for ease of oil changes and customers of John Deere tractors quickly were encountering loss of power, start and stopping/surging all from accelerated wear in the hydrostatic pump and motors. Forgot which models or years it applies to but if the magnets aren’t completely clogged with powdered friction gears material you can usually just drain the oil out run a little 5w50 full synthetic to flush and top off with the same fluid. In most cases of drop in power, slippage or surging the replacement to correct oil will resolve things

I try to keep the oil changed on them, even though they're a pain to remove to do it. It seems that using the 5w50 they recommend makes them work better than the 10w30 that most come factory filled with.

[@FishFind3000]

I used 5w50 mobil1 full synthetic. Mine seems to be happy. It’s really cold blooded in the cold though. If I just started the engine and it’s cold and at idle and let out the brake the oil in the pump can stall the right so it needs some extra rpm till it’s warm. This only happens when it’s freezing or below when the oil is extra thick.

Only one detail to consider. Upon refilling with fresh fluid after a complete evacuation/ cleaning.
