I sent my Mid pump and Cylinder's to Hydro House in Spring Green Wi. Half the cost of new. Had my Tuff Torq Transmission working perfect for under 125$
Brilliant video - so glad I found it! Think I’ll be doing something similar on a TT K574c (4WD variant). The damn thing won’t go up hills once it’s all up to temperature. Anyway, many thanks for the time you took putting this together.
Mine just barely had a couple of score marks in the different parts in center case on mating surfaces. Had a perfectly flat steel surface with some 600 grit, didn’t take long at all and everything polished out nice, no marks…
@@rows3063 yes. I have the K58a. There wasn’t any difference in parts from the k46, except the inlet of the center case has an fluid pump that was pretty simple to deal with.
good video and job. i think the fan was under the pulley. that thing is full of parts i will not be taking any apart and i use to rebuilt motors.i think the one in my old murry mower has same thing in it. take care, be safe and well.
I did the same with the fan when I replaced the input shaft on my K51A, oops. I wasn't able to reinstall the trans with the fan on top on the Scotts S16/42 and so that's how I discovered my mistake. Now I have to do a total rebuild like you just did because I get almost no movement forward or reverse. Tuff Torq no longer makes the K51A so I'm going to ask them if they still provide rebuild kits for it. I would really like to put in a larger trans like a K66 but I'm not sure if that will work.
I have seen photos with the fan in both positions. It might be different for different models. Mine would have worked but the drive belt was not lined up on the pulley. I did change it and was going to make a video about that, but alas time has not allowed. Since the rebuild the mower is working really well. Look upon ebay that guy in Canada who does the rebuild kits. He might be able to help you. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks great. Just a little ingenuity and you can save a lot of $$!

@@Dirtywhtboy87930 take it yours wouldn't do hills either when hot?
Just wish I could find a YT vid showing the inside of a K574 C.

Where do you send the transmission to get it rebuild in Canada, which you mentioned in the video

nice rebuild. liking your music
It was fun to learn how to do this!
Very well done and great job on explaining everything to us 😊
Very happy with the video ❤
I'm so glad!

Yes, the fan clearly needs to be under the pulley. And where does the extra clip go? Wait for part 2.
Where is part 2 ?
Not bad for an old man. That center case has a trick to getting it in... brute strength. You compress that SOB and it'll drop right into place.
Thanks for watching and commenting. It was a learning experience!

I did the same thing with mine, only had 1 snap ring and it was on the fan shaft
That was it! I fixed it and was out cutting grass a few days later! Thanks for commenting.
I had thought all 300 series had an hour tachometer on the dash, does yours not?
I'll have to look. I think that you are correct!
How many hours was on the transaxle? Thanks!
Wow, I don't really know. We bought the machine about 12 years ago? Mostly just mowing in the summers. we have about 2 acres to mow.
Did you make the Part 2? I can't find it in your videos - what was your big mistake?
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately the mower worked so well that I was out mowing grass and did not find time to produce a Part TWO!
The washer has to do with the way they built the linkage to work I think 😊
i'll look at that.
You jumped over major part of the pump installment
Granted, I missed some stuff on the video!
You need to get a tripod so we can see what you’re doing. Do I have to do that just to change a shaft
I agree. Not the best view!
The axle seal looks backwards
Thanks for your comment. I think it was right. I'll have to re-look at it.
@@a_farm_west_of_boring the spring goes to the inside
Thanks. I'll look at that!
Yeah I thought the fan was on the wrong way too
@@RobertPaglia-y5k yup !
turn fan over
Rookie mistake! I fixed it!
When. You. Said. Don’t. Lose. The. Pin. Guess. What. Gone
Thanks for your comment!
The snap ring should have gone to hold the fan on. But worse than that where did the extra c clip come from?
Good Question! I did figure it out!
