The 2nd step installed the bushing to the same depth as the bottom of the seal pocket. The 1st step was to press the bushing in to the same depth as the outside of the transaxle housing. I used a long 3/8 steel rod to drive out the old bushings from the inside and a large drill press as a press with flat washers of the correct thickness and diameter to press the new bushings in to the correct depth in 3 steps. Have you ever replaced the outer axle bushings? I did.

While reinstalling the fan & pulley be sure to place all components on the drive shaft in the reverse order from which they were removed and verify proper torque for each bolt.In "That's What Friends Are For", Taryl goes over how to rebuild a Tuff Torq hydrostatic transmission using the parts sent from Tuff Torq direct. The amount of oil needed may vary for your service, due to the amount of residual oil remaining in case after draining and the condition/age of the unit you are servicing. You will need approximately 2.2 liters of oil to properly refill the unit if completely empty. Only use the fill port (covered by the black cap) to refill unit. Tuff Torq recommends using only using approved Tuff Tech drive fluid when servicing any of our transaxles. Do this by removing the cap and inverting transaxle. Technical note: Check oil level when oil is at room temperature (20☌ or 68° F) and the unit case is level and secure.Īlways use the fill port (under the black cap) to drain the oil from your Tuff Torq unit. Maintain the oil level at 20~25 mm (3/4”~1”) below the lip of (black cap) port (see diagram below). Then remove the black cap shown in the diagram below. This is necessary to access the fill port (black cap) located under the pulley and fan (see diagram below).Īfter removing the unit from the vehicle, place the transaxle on a level surface and remove the fan and pulley. If checking the oil level/condition, it may be necessary to remove the transaxle from the vehicle. Normally the model K46 & T40A transaxles, that are featured in many tractor and rider models, do not require any servicing for the life of the vehicle.
