What's the yellow bung for? Thanks. Transax transplant I have a 30 y.o. Murray 11/36ic that was increasingly difficult to change gear. I acquired another transaxle 10 years ago, and seeing it has 10 years less use than my one so it must be in good or better condition...right? I hear it clicking as I move the gear changer thing sticking out the trans into several positions. Put it on, and now the mower won't move forward or back. I see the drive belt is turning the rear pulley on the transax. I lift the back up to see if there is the slightest movement and there is nada. 😑 Any ideas anyone...
When reassembling, one trick that I use is to put the top of the case on, snug up the bolts, then go around all over the top case and lightly tap with a hunk of 2x4. This always has helped everything seat nicely...
I like to use what's called an anerobic sealant when I reassemble them..it's like loctite that dries in the absence of air. It costs 2x of rtv probably ,but it cleans up so much easier if you have to open the trans again. whatever oozes inside the case won't harden and migrate thru the trans. If anything it'll go thru the oil and stay in a liquid or gel type of state. Sometimes it's nice to put a little oil on the case bolts too, if they came out with protest. Besides, it'll make it easier on ya next time you have to open it up again.
has anyone had the issue of it not lining up 100 % and when its together again it turns easy, and then hard, and then easy, then hard again ? i can never seem to get them back together the way it should be so it turns easy by hand
Thanks for this great video. I was not sure how to get the spring and ball back in. This vid is the only one I have found that address the issue. When I opened the case the ball was in the far right hole, but I have had all the gears out. I think I got in N and I am putting it back together. Will the ball just fall into the correct whole based on the gear it is in? Also should there be grease in the axle channels?between the spider gears and the bearing?? how much? thanks
Question for you. I have a bunton 48in walk behind mower and the guy I bought it from put a tractor transaxle on it and it drives but it drives in reverse so basically it'll only go forward in 1st gear which is reserve gear. Gears 1-5 work but they make the mower move in reverse. He said that's the only way it would fit. So my question is is there a way to take the trans axle apart and simply swap reverse and forward gears to be able to use gears 1-5 go move forwards instead of backwards?
Hope I didn't confuse you lol. The transaxle can only fit one way and I'm trying to change the way the trans spins in reverse to forwards and forward to reverse idk if this is possible lol but I figured I'd ask
i have a 920 series 7 speed and we took it apart, we cant get it back together, it seems spring loaded. now the ball bearing that is spring loaded to give the shift fork a clicky sensation came out. i am dealing with the same problem when you turn the pulley it locks up and then starts to lift the whole assembly out of the case. if anyone could help that would help alot.

Yep. can e used both ways too, when taking it apart you can hit it with a 2x4 to separate the case, no bolts holding it.

also does the little triangle protrusion on the bushing have to be on the right or left side
How come you didn’t re-grease your transmission, I’m just curious unless you did it off-camera camera
You didn't show how to put it back together putting the lid.
LoL Ive gotten mad and smashed the last 2 craftsman transaxles because of the same issue! Wondered wtf was still holding it together...haaa
Smart
Is that out of you off-roader
First!
haha
