Tuff Torq K46b transmission failure again
Comments (0)Craftsman YT4000 which is 3 yrs. old, rebuilt the K46b hydrostatic this past June. Purchased motor and pump from Tuff Torq and used Castrol 5w-50 synthetic oil. I mow 2 acres every week which are 80% flat. Worked really well for 5 months and now back to having the same problem. Very disappointed....See MoreSimplicity or Husqvarna?
Comments (22)xs6dfg0: I can't say a great deal about the Husqvarna other than they are orange, and some models I've seen mowing from the road look like they do take a beating. I can however tell you a bit about my Simplicity Landlord DLX. Though my Simplicity is a bit higher end garden tractor, the quality is still there in your model. Mine is a year model 2000. It has the full length rollers on the back, and a 18 hp Vanguard engine. I bought it used in 2005, and it now has right at 300 hours on it. The engine runs as smooth as any I've ever had, and that includes a brand new Sabre by John Deere I bought 2 years before finding this Simplicity. The engine in the Sabre was a Kohler Command 17.5 hp single cylinder. It was a good mower, but it was a lawn mower. The Simplicity is a garden tractor. The cut on the Simplicity was already very good, but is a great deal better now that I have new gator blades on it. The ride is great, and I now own a Johnny Bucket Jr. for it. This really made a very practical tractor IMHO. The Simplicity you're looking at will have a deck very similar to mine. Heck, when it is that good, why change it? Take a test ride, and hopefully mow with it. If not, try to see someone's yard mowed with a Simplicity. I was like others and thought it was all hype. Not any more! Whatever you chose, do your regular maintenance, and enjoy the ride....See MoreScotts Tuff Torq K46 Transmission
Comments (3)The K46 does have serviceable seals and axle bushings, I believe the seal is driven in rather than being retained by a lip in the housing. You should be able to tell by cleaning the area up and having a look. If it is an active leak rather than a light seep, it should be attended to sooner rather than later. If not sure, clean it up and watch it. No leaks are obviously better than having one. Plus, you get the opportunity to change the oil....See MoreHusqvarna LGT 2654 with Tuff Torq K46 transmission failure
Comments (17)How is there not a class action lawsuit against these pieces of crap??? Mine has worked mediocrely for 4 years till the left rear axle broke!!! Evidently this is a common problem as well!!! I pay almost$200 for the axle kit that came with new seals and 20-50 oil and after 15 minutes it won't move!!! Husqvarna!!! Proof that Sweden is only good for porn and smoked fish!!! I saw where someone is selling kits for this swap but they cost what I paid for this POS new!!!...See Morebchamberlin
