Do you have a cost on the replacement center section?

What did you use or recommend to clean out the inside of the case when you have it open, to make sure any contaminants are removed from the inside. I've got mine all broken down, and new part in hand and look to reassemble this coming weekend.

A chunk of wood is NOT a flat or true lapping surface. If you can't get a granite block, use a thick piece of glass.

Great video, the only thing I have a question about is how do you "check the fluid level/add" @13:55?

Just opened up a ZT3100. I've had no trouble up to the point of getting the center section loose. But, I don't want to damage anything. My axle runs, but gets hot and loses power. I picked up a ZT2800 thinking it was another 3100. It's the opposite side (R). Checking the parts list for both, there are only a few parts that are different. So, my $15.00 investment hopefully netted me some serviceable parts. I noticed the gears were different numbers along with the center section, which figures since it's the right side vs. my compromised left. I didn't see that you had to remove the input shaft, but noticed it went back in after you put the new center section in. I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks. 😊 I tried watching another guy, but he was saying it's a waste of time and money to attempt a repair. He was ripping parts out and said the whole thing was going in the trash after his video.

when i turned the shaft fully clockwise there was mechanical clanking, so i am going back to ccw rotation and see if the clanking goes away, then slowly turn back cw to see if the governor works.

To make sure it's flat, sand the motor part on a glass sheet. You shouldn't be push hard enough to break the glass anway,

This was a very straight forward repair video. No fluff, just the necessary info to get it done. I just subbed. It turns out that parts and service are available for these Transaxles if you do it yourself. I just want to change the fluid in mine, but I found this video and thought I'd watch it just in case I need to actually rebuild mine in the future.

How much was the parts bill for this i have a i1050 zero turn with the same problem. Got it didn't wait till the end to post message.

LMAO vise-grip?

Hi Tractor Guy, thanks for the video.....nice job , clear and well explained........looks to be easy......just two questions, if we consider the time and effort, would it not be safer to replace the 2 bearings? also Hydro gear tech say I have to replace both blocks (pump and motor) I know these parts are pretty expensive, but is there no risk these are worn and no anymore usable? ......last thing : seal kit : for what? where did you use it?....... my case ZT2200 (EZT) less than 100 hours, oil inside rotten (milky/silver gray) after 20mn/30mn use becomes noisy and weak and after a while won't work on right side.......many thanks

I have watched a lot of these videos, and nobody asks the question of "Why" did the center section fail. I have rebuilt several of these units, and in every one the 10-tooth jack shaft gear hard surface is flaking off. Those tiny chips go down to the sump, get sucked up into the pump, and chew it up. So, if you don't replace the gear your rebuild will be short lived.

How do you get the center piece out after you remove the bolts?

Can you send link for that piece you replaced

I have had my 60" z force for 15 years and I changed the trans fluid every year no problems .I put three spring on it .great mower

I can’t remember were a spring and washer goes ,,,,Need Help

I followed this procedure perfectly and it worked well for a couple of months and then the problem of slipping was back again. Hydra gear makes junk.

Great video! About to my left side! P.o.s! Struggled all last summer trying to mow with 1 transmission working all the time. Other one worked until it warmed up and would get weak! Thanks again for a great video!

So mine is of course is the left hydro and as I mow the unit gets hot and is not very responsive. But cold at first it turns fine. What if you just changed the oil from a multi V to a straight 30 or 40 weight or even a 50 weight? Isn't the problem the oil thins as it gets hot? Yes I'm lazy and afraid I'll screw it up!!!😉

I'm going to do mine shortly so THANKS for the video!!!! Also these hyro's seem to be on so many different Brands that it "might" be a great way to start a biz offering to rebuild these. If proficient at it how much time would you say it takes to rebuild? THANKS!!!!! Most people would not attempt doing a rebuild.

put bypass in with wheel bearing grease it will be sticky and hold it in place

at the end of the Video you adjusted the neutral position. Was the engine running to check if the wheel would spin forward or backwards ? ( to get Neutral at the correct spot )

Your carburetor idle circuit needs to be cleaned.

I don't usually comment but we'll done video had to give you 30.sec of my time to like

the only thing I feel you left out was price for sealer kit , parts and shipping,

Good idea just getting the center section those complete kits are pricey.

Losing power from right hydro, why do grooves hurt the center piece? I checked my check valves, they are tight, I do have metal shaving in the filter. Thanks

your video is helpful but you leave out important steps, (washer placement). This is like watch repair; generalization is not good enough, it must be step by step specific if you're trying to teach someone how to do it. 🙃

wanting to find out how old my transmission is Info on the sticker: HYDRO GEAR top right 618-04327 bottom left 6060B50239 MOWER IS TROY-BUILT RTZ50 Ive had it for many years. About 300 hours. Cleaned and greased after every use. Garage kept.

This failure/repair is all over the Internet and causes me to believe this is a design failure because it is certain to happen on the left hand transmission to every zero turn mower owner. I love the tractor when it’s working, but I will not buy another.

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

I know yard tools use the crappiest oil they can buy for manufacture. Could these transmission problems be avoided by using synthetic oil? My JD LX176 1994 still runs great after 30 years of mowing and snow removal.

get it bubba. glad to see you're making content again

Good video but you never showed it start after your rebuild? Any reason why?

Just got done replacing both left and right side center sections on my Husqvarna RZ5426. My finger was too big to hold the bypass valve in place when installing the center section so I just used a zip tie to keep it in place. Worked like a charm.

Maybe a good way to prime the unit would be to drive it with an electric drill while the unit is still out of the mower. That way after priming is done, you can easily check the oil level and fill as needed without having to remove the unit from the mower again.

I have a broken cradle bearing and the manual is saying its only available with a new case, but I found the cradle bearings sold separately. Have you ever replaced those? Not sure if they just rest there in the case or if they are adhered in some kind of way.

All 6 volt cubs were positive ground from factory fyi . If you switch it back to positive ground you will have to repolorize generator. Thanks so much for the video of your great little Cub !!!

Where is the TO35 running video?

I just bought this very tractor. Lol was there a reason you got rid of it? Any issue when you sold it with?

How many hours do them pumps last until problems start happening ??

Hey DarbleyTheTractorGuy is this the 17AI2ACK056?

Hey, Darbley. Everything works fine, the mower runs like a dream, but one issue, the bypass rod does nothing. I put it in, the same way it came out, and absolutely nothing. I can't find the reason, hopefully you can point me in the right direction, thank you!

Is there any reason why you couldn't do the purge procedure using a drill before installing it? Seems like it would be easier to add oil if needed while it's still on the bench.

I have a gas 202 Massey Ferguson w/102 loader. Is there a seal between the pump and engine where my hydraulic leak is?

Have not had any luck with mine I tried this and it worked great for about 45 minutes then it started losing power again back to where I started I went ahead and ordered the whole transaxel

I had a home depot cub cadet. Very deep in the manual it stated that the life expectancy Was 185 hours. I sold it soon after. Box stores dumb down the standard product to make more money. Never buy major equipment from a big box store.

Excellent presentation..!!! I’m having trouble getting my center section out.. you skipped past that part. Everything is disconnected but it seems like it’s jammed in there.. worried if I just try to pry it out that cheap metal will break and parts will go flying everywhere..
