Scotts 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 MoreTuff Torq K46V
Comments (0)I was having a lot of trouble with my lawn tractor losing power. I decided to find out why. After doing a little searching on the internet I found that I needed to change the oil in it. When I pulled out the sealer cap and the removing the magnet I found gritty sludge stuck to the magnet. I decided to take my transmission apart and clean it out real good. Everything went well untill I started to put it back together. The hydraulic pumps inside are a devil to reasemble. Especialy the one driven by the pully shaft on top of the tranny. I found out also that it has TWO magnets and a small filter inside. The filter was really dirty. There are two small steel balls inside that are really easy to lose. If anyone takes they'rs apart like I did be very carefull not to lose them. I got my tranny all put back together now and am waiting for a new sealer cap and vent. I had to order those. I am writing this to let folks know that sometimes just changine the oil may not be enough. You might have to do what I did and give it a good cleaning out. Especialy that fiber filter. It gets full of grit and sludge. I don't recomend disasembling the pump housing at all. I lost one of the tiny steel balls. Lucky for me I had another one. The upper rotary pump (the one driven by the pully shaft ) is very hard to reasemble....See MoreJD X300 transmission failure

Comments (18)there is minor play in two directions an mine . pulley moves up and down along shaft a small amount, due to normal looseness from use of a spring spacer in that assembly. separately there is side to side play allowing pulley to rotate on shaft slightly before splines on shaft are fully engaged. I would expect a pulley to fit snugly onto the splined shaft since leaving it loose will encourage accelerated wear of splines. Interestingly, there is a similar amount of rotational play with the plastic fan on the same shaft. That seems to suggest that there was some play in both pulley and fan on shaft from new, since by now the pulley would have seen a lot more force and wear than fan. It was the fact that there was some play in both fan and pulley that prompted my original question to see if when new there would have been no play or if a little was normal....See Morelkbum_gw
