- Today, I take apart a Dana Spicer lawn tractor transmission just to look inside and figure out why it doesnt work well. I replaced the transmission with a more reliable Tecumseh Peerless transmission. In addition, I tested out my Homelite 2700 psi power washer that my neighbor gave me for free. I wanted to know if the water pump worked. I also got a shelving rack from my Moms house which I'll assemble to better organize my shed since inhave bins and bins of parts.

I have the same mower that is mint and paid $40 for. Guy bought it new in 92 and used it 1 season and said it broke. I put a fuel solenoid and battery and plug and drove it on my trailer. His reaction was priceless.
Score! Hope you’re subscribed bro
I had your type of back problem for years, very severe pain. Even went to a pain doctor for shots and radio frequency ablation. I discovered the large ice packs from Walgreens and it was like a miracle. You just have to get your lower back cold enough for long enough to get the inflammation to go away. It was a life changer.
Thanks Jerry, but my back hurt because I twisted it, I don’t normally have back issues, plus I was in the floor trying to open the darn tranny.
You know what you need to invest in next right? An Oxy Acetylene torch, so your not fighting rusted on pulley's like that and the infamous frozen rim on lawn tractor trans axle's, etc.
I just got mine a few months ago. It makes life so much easier.
My brother in law used to call his acetylene torch, his smoke wrench!!
Hello
Very interesting channel colleagues, bravo 🙌
Amazing how well getting all bolts out helps...lol
I know what it’s like to hurt your back I have muscle pains that starts in my back and runs down my leg I pray you feel better soon
Thanks Sean, tweaking a back is horrible. I know a lot of people relate. Just a few days of rest will be good.
Great job Henry 👍 glad you had a shifter for it. You're neighbor must have too much money to give away a perfectly good power washer, but hey good deal for you bro 👍 nice shelves too.
Heat up the bottom hub and press a candle on the top till u see the wax bubbling. Then heat it some more and use a flywheel puller. Works everytime.
Good tip bro thanks
when you use a cheap air hammer these are the results. i tossed that air hammer after a week
I dont really like air tools either, but I get soooooo many engines with seized blade adapters and henry I'm telling you the air hammer is the best tool you can use for it. I can sit there with a hammer for an hour and it wont even move, but the air hammer will just slide it off. I do about 3 a week, I dont know what I'd do without it
As you saw, that air hammer did nothing!
hey bonus the pump works on that pressure washer, and also looking at u taking apart that spicer trans it look like my murray one when i took it apart with the moisture on it same discolor in the gears and wont shift even after getting a new shifter link because it wore the squire out like the grease went dry from the seals more than likely my trans is doneski also :(
If I didn't damage it while removing the pulley, if it all get pressure washed and reassembled with new grease, it may have worked...but I already swapped the tranny, I just tore it apart to see inside is all.
That would be a funny sight, a bent over limping guy walking his dog at night with a crowbar in his hand!😂
It was a sight to see, damn crowbar was heavy too!
A little heat and paraffin would have made that much easier. There's an art to doing that.
My first time as you can tell.
@@MowersNBlowers I've also done my own Oppy swap on a DYT 4000 along with the stator swap larger automotive battery, voltage gauge, (eBay cheap), and smaller 38" deck. I've also swapped to taller tires all the way around, new fuel system rear tank to carb and have started on my GT 6000 with exactly the same steering teeth broken. I've already ordered the part but am considering the weld repair as I have a good friend that welds for a living. I saw the mistake on the belt routing before you did and was wondering how you would figure it out. I'm glad to know you can reverse the routing to fix it. I'm using a B&S Opposed Horizontal for mine. I may do the stator swap on it as well. You should find an old mid 70's Suburban to fix up and keep. You will not regret the plain heavy duty feel of those real garden tractors. I have 4 now to improve, repower, and set up for different roles in my little area. And BTW, nothing beats grading! My 76 Suburban SS16 has both original blades front and rear and people here at the house ask me why I'm always grinning when I'm grading my driveway...LOL. YOU know why now! Enjoy the channel.
Thanks buddy
Every time I put my cases back together something is binding.
Trying to figure out which way the flat side of the bushings go
I’m glad I didn’t have to put it back together
You need Bruce Penders setup for raising mowers up to work on them
A lawn tractor won't fit on that silly cart! But yeah for everything else, I guess it's good. But he stands when fixing things...I always sit on the kiddie stool. So it all evens out.
Those racks are nice till they get wet. And shelfs turn into sawdust again.
It's in my shed, hopefully it won't get wet in there.
By the way the top and bottom cases actually sell on ebay for 40-50$ and the gears sell good to
Not after how he pryed it open
No...that’s how much they go for regardless of how I pryed it open! Dumped in the trash a long time ago smart guy!
@@MowersNBlowers no i gaurantee u warped tht case because theres atleast 1 bolt sometimes 2 under that pulley
However if u still have the gears i may be interested in a few
Tim Johnson they’re all gone! By the way, I pried it open like that because it was broken, I took it apart just so my viewers can see what’s inside. I didn’t sell it, I dumped it in the trash. Besides Dana spicer sucks! Peerless is the way to go!
I got the flywheel off pretty easily, but Im having a hell of a time separating the two halves of the case. Looks like yours came apart pretty easily. Any idea what I could be missing?
No, it was hell splitting it!
You didn't try EVERYTHING... Heat would have taken that pulley off in a minute.
I have a craftsman racemower 6 speed. I'm guessing it's a spicer. Does the chain in them is what activates reverse? I do not want reverse in it
You don’t have to guess, the title says spicer. Just don’t shift into reverse
@@MowersNBlowers well my prob is someone has messed with the plate that guides it a little bit and neutral can be a bitch to find. So I want no reverse
I know this is a very old video, but was wondering whether you still have that transaxle. I'm looking for some parts from one like that.
No I threw it away, but I have a few others from a murray and snapper
@@MowersNBlowers Should have parted it out. Gears are hard to find. Good shift keys on ebay 75.00 for pair.
Is there a plug of some sort to add grease without tearing it apart
Nope. They say it's not serviceable.
@@MowersNBlowers great video. Making me think if I want to do it or not. I've seen videos on people just giving up on taking that pulley off and no doubt it's a bitch but since my old Murray hasn't been stored outdoors I'm hoping to do a teardown.
Michael Hartzell do it, it’ll be interesting.
@@MowersNBlowers haha you so funny
@@MowersNBlowers Just take them apart and regrease.
A+ wallace gardner
What’s your P.O. Box I want to mail you some stuff
Email me bro.

Mowers N Blowers ok thanks
@@samsgarage8515 email me a I can send you my address.
If everybody maintained machinary properly you would be out of business.
True, but you and I know that’s impossible! Half of all machines sold, people have no idea or any intention of taking care of their machines!
Amen.
Rebuild it,by all means.
Why, spicers are a dime a dozen, free all over the place!
