Transaxle removal and replacement
1. Remove the upper drive belt as described in the
drive belt replacement section of this chapter.
2. Loosen, but do not remove the wheel bolts.
3. Lift, and safely support the tractor. The rear of the
tractor should be high enough to allow the transaxle
to pass under it.
4. Remove the rear wheels and spacers.
5. Disconnect the forward-neutral-reverse gear selec-
tor rod from the transmission by removing the hair
pin clip. See Figure 5.55.
6. Support the transaxle so that it can be lowered out
of the tractor in a controlled fashion.
7. Remove the two torque bracket hex screws using a
1/2” wrench. See Figure 5.55.
8. Remove the two hex screws securing the variable
speed pulley bracket assembly to the left side of the
frame. See Figure 5.56.
9. Take the nuts off of the T-bolts that hold the tran-
saxle to the frame using a 1/2” wrench. Set the nuts
and bolts aside.
The battery will be removed in this procedure. Review the Operator’s Manual and the Electri-
cal chapter of this manual for important safety information about handling batteries before
proceeding.
