I ran mine for 9 years, still goes forward fine, but lost all power in reverse, i cant find anything on the outside components that will fix the issues, so i got another new one being delivered tomorrow.

I do have this transmission in my mower. Thanks for your video. I was trying to figure out how to add oil to mine. My seal came out and I put new ones on both sides. But I couldn’t see where to put in oil. Luckily I found your video. Thanks!

Is it hard to pull the transmission out? Mine goes forward but not backward

I love your video ur very correct on them rearends

I have one in my craftsman T2500 that has leaking seal on the left side. Surprisingly I found a seal kit for it

Transmission has no grease, it has gear oil.

I moved my battery to the rear of mower to let me pressure wash it after each mowing.

No good on any incline land. Get hot and quit, even if you cean out the grass that accumilates in it.

Thank you for this video!

yes they are junk should be recalled

Is there any other transmission to fit up under without changing all the linkage

Sure wish you do less complaining and more teaching

could you tell me what is that large black cone pulley on the top?? mine is making noise and I dont know the name of it to start doing research on it.

Excellent idea for the transmission bracket! Thanks for your video big help!

How about adding a grease fitting?

That helped me a lot. Thank you.

Yep. Mine is an Ariens/Husqvarna hybrid. Only goes forward. Reverse quit after 9 years. I think it's time for a new cutter.

This is true it is bad will reverse slow

Just welded my Huskvarna up for the 2nd time.." I was told they make a bracket kit for this issue so why would they not send out or notify the customers of this problem...? Going to do the angle iron fix after this mowing season.. great video"

Well I have one it can set awhile and it will pull out good a few minutes into it it's like it kicks into neutral sometimes I can roll it back and forth and it will lock back in

Great paint brush. Great info.

It’s awesome when you take it to a repair shop and they laugh at you, one guy wouldn’t even come out of his office, told me to just buy a different tractor.😂

After each mow I took my leaf blower and blew out the grass on top of the transmission and a few times removing the battery and holder to get to the top of the transmission and took the cover off then blew it out. If you mow a hilly lawn it will wear out the trans fast. I do not think they use these transmission anymore because of lot of warrentee work claims on these transmission. I had a Poulan mower and it needed to be replaced by Poulan which cost $700.00 dollars.

I bought a craftsman in 2017 with this transmission. Was pretty good at cleaning the grass off of it with a leaf blower. Last year I noticed the pedal wouldn't go back to neutral . I did notice the rod from the pedal to the transmission had a lot of play . Dropped it off at the shop . Any ideas?

Thank you got my belt changed hjad to take the gas tank off.

So Cute!

Those two are a hoot! Lol

42” Ariens and my speed selector is basically no go or full speed. There is no middle or intermitted setting.. any idea what this issue may be? Does it need a cleaning?

I'm still pissed. I have one two years old that failed.

I understand that this video is 3 years old , but guess what ? I good friend of mine , back in July of 2022 this year actually gave me his husqvarna yta24v48 automatic riding mower, and yes it has that transaxle , or whatever you call it ! Well he was up front and honest with me and told me he wasn't sure about how much longer it would actually work, because he was told by a repair man that it was about to die ! He told me it needed new axle seals , and he just decided to go but himself a new zero turn . Up until just yesterday I only replaced both axle seals which keep popping out and yes I'm having to put more grease back in because it now sounds like it's empty and I. Nit a lawn mower machanic, and I've replaced the 139.7 inch deck belt because I have 3 blades and a 48 inch deck ! I'm slowly learning ! And I wanted to thank you very much for your video , because I almost put 15-50 oil in it ! You stated it only take grease , I almost screwed up ! I'm trying to research research research . I really need this to last me til next year at least ! I can't complain I got her for free ! Take care. From north Carolina

Yep, got mine removed from tractor and waiting for the top pins that broke since I forced it to go on reverse and snapped the aluminum pin, once I took it down and apart couldn't believe the grass packed so tight on springs that was ridiculous and to access it is a pain, terrible engineering

Dane, thank you for this video! No one else has explained why my mower sticks in forward gear!

Thank you for your advice and words of caution on this type of transmission. I am currently in the market for a new riding mower and have been trying to decide on what kind of transmission is best.

I had the right side axle seal go out on me last year, lost a little bit of grease but everything seemed fine. This year, I started noticing a grinding noise every time I disengage the clutch/parking brake. After a little investigating, I found my left side axle seal was leaking now. I got it replaced and cleaned the hell out of the transmission. Used a shop vac and air compressor to clean out all of the grass, dirt, and dust that gets wedged into small spaces then lubed up seals and other parts that I had access too. I also replaced my transmission drive belt thinking maybe it was worn down a bit and possibly causing slippage; however, I'm still hearing the grinding noise every time I disengage the clutch. I'm beginning to think I've lost too much grease and its causing gears to grind within the transmission. Do you think it would be possible to turn the transmission on its side, pull one of the axle seals, then add a little bit of grease in from that point if I can figure out the type general transmission was using in these?

I have 400 hours on mine cleaned it twice

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I learned a lot this week. one of my front mount bolts was gone the other was sheared off. Tried using an extractor to no avail, so I ended up drilling the old bolt out from underneath. If you have this problem perhaps, I can save you some time. I used a 5/16" Bosch cobalt bit (titanium won't work) drill slow, using cutting oil. Good luck.

Mine under 50 hours won't go forward or backward. Now is about 135 hours 4 years later , sometime stuck in forward or backward position. After spray wd-40 at the linkage then I was able to move the lawn mower. At the beginning the machine was under warranty and cost me 65 dollars to get it fixed. Now I am on my own for this piece of junk. They advertised it built like a tank. Actually it is a disposable transmission because you can not go inside to do anything. I have spend some time to check and clean this piece of junk..

thanks got one in for repair your video helps

Glad to hear you are from WV. What part? I’ve taken the pulley out and have cleaned debris from every spot I could access and I still have issues with my pedals sticking and sometimes not going back to neutral

I wonder if a person could adapt a TuffTorque hydrostatic axle into your tractor?

Thanks for the video. A friend gave me a mower for salvage that had this tranny. It was exactly as you described, grass in mechanisms on the top side was prohibiting drive functionality and it was leaking oil from the axel seals. The case was cemented together and a bit beat up after separating halves with a chisel. Inside was in good shape. half of the drive gears are plastic , and the case is filled with a really thick oil, almost grease.

My husbands sears yt3000 did the same thing, had a friend fix it about 5 to 6 years ago, thinks trans mouth bracket is broken again. This is a lousy set up on these. When putting in the bolts put the nuts on the bottom instead of the top. Also use nuts that have plastic in the threads as the jam nuts.

I went through 5 of those variation belts... I've been googling hard to figure out why... My rear pulley came off the line assembled wrong... 😒 This video helped me notice it

Mine just started making an RPM dependant noise when the brake is not engaged. Do you think cleaning the top would help that or will it need a tear down?

I got one. Pedal sticks going from forward to reverse. No way to work on it without removing it. They want us to just buy new mowers when they break.

I bought one of these used around 7 years ago. I blew the seals out about 4 years ago towing a yard roller up a hill. Easy fix $15 and it's been fine. It was beat when I got it and for the last 4 years I use it to trim 10 acres of hilly open field and trim the 2' tall grass around the farm fields surrounding me. I beat the tar out of it and just now starting to have trouble. Maybe there are good ones and bad ones considering my experience you are way off...

Thanks for this video, I am one of the unlucky. Ordered a Craftsman lt2600 special with the Kohler engine and thought this thing would last forever. 6 years later and the trans lost reverse and now wont go forward. $600 for a new one but still beats $2k for a whole new mower. This video had me smiling the whole time and brought confirmation to my assumptions about what a stupid idea a plastic transmission is. Still laughing at a drunk from West Virginia lol Thank you for taking the time to review this RS800.

Mine has been working for a good 7 to 8 years now. The only thing I've had to do is clean the grass and debris out of it and it's fairly simple to do if you are pretty mechanically inclined. I accessed mine from under the seat

My is fine after 7 years. I bought the upgrade md cover to keep the grass out which makes it difficult to go into reverse.

I'm stuck with one of these POS's. Terrible design. May be ok for someone with a small level yard but on steep grades they fail in a hurry.
