How bout you tell us what "The Special tool" is!

Those things were a complete and total FAILURE. I worked on one. Cheap and easily broken. The seals in the axles fail because heat and friction damage the plastic housing. This had to be the worse design ever.

What about the Internals

238 hours on JD L120 and this K46 crapped out. Should never be used on lawn tractors.

Definitely not even close to a complete disassembly.

Top view would be better as I have no idea what your setting this down on. Still glad I got the kit.

You need a whole different kit for each chain size, not just the file?

This was not a complete disassembly

The depth file part is confusing, so I place the back of the gauge on the tooth behind it?

My Husqvarna has this transmission. 146 hours and no reverse

Thank you!

I have a 372 Husqvarna and it is always a bear to get re-hot started. I wouldn’t trade it though because it is the most powerful saw I’ve ever owned. Cuts through two foot oak like butter.

I was very disappointed when it didn't sound like T-Pain

722 hours and the K46 in my 2015 Cub Cadet is still running fine, even mowing on somewhat hilly terrain. (even used for plowing snow for 6 winters) It's oil replaced every 2 years with synthetic 5W-40 diesel oil. Also making sure the cooling fan isn't damaged and the fins clean.

My 2023 mower lasted 33 hours before the 3 of the springs in the pistons broke and tore up the pump block. I wonder if they make more money selling transmissions or the parts to keep this junk working. If they were at all concerned about reliability there would be a drain plug and access to the filter. Cub Cadet said the tractor is a throw away by another.

This transmission is a pile of 💩

How can you release such a gearbox without a drain plug for changing the oil? A deliberate act to shorten the lifespan and force you to buy a new one.

Have a 572xp and a 592xp/ never had any issues hot or cold.they start and then idle.next.the 592 is an animal.

200 hours on. My John Deere x300 and it’s toast. I agree junk.

And this little piggy made his gear box from plastic ...the big bad wolf said HHAAAA I'm not waisting my breath on this POS let it fall apart on it's own.

Not a great view from camera angles. Hard to learn from this

Poor video. Absolutely crap

FYI. If you’re using a 40:1 oil mixture, you will always periodically have starting issues. It leans the fuel mixture too much for the auto tune to compensate. Use a good synthetic oil like Klotz etc, and run 45-50:1, and your saw will be at its happiest.

C'est de la merde

It's been proven by many that pre-mixed gas is garbage for your chainsaw!

I just couldn’t see what he was doing close up.

Thanks it went well.

The k46 transaxle on my John Deere will not hold itself on a hill. To fix this I was curious with the adjusting bolt on the side of the transaxle is used for?

What should have been done is installed the drain plugs in the first place not hard to do but should have been done and a better filter design so you don't have to take it apart change the filter again not hard to do but it is a hassle if they had done that it would have been much easier for the average person to take better care of it but they just want you to throw it away and buy another one

For those wondering about the part number for this auger belt, it is HUS 501818201. I changed it recently on this sane machine and the size is 1/2” x 35.6” (some sources say 35.4” and 35.25” but I believe those are wrong). Prior to getting the correct belt I had purchased a 1/2” x 35” and although it fit, it was too small as the auger kept turning even when you released the auger controls (a safety NO NO) and it had a burning smell too so it’s important to get this correct belt I referenced above. Although I did not change the drive belt, that one is HUS 584216102 and the size of that one is 1/2” x 38.2”.

What f ing garbage

What’s the part number fir the auger belt? There are 2 that Ive found online

Full Disassembly = This Is NOT FULL Disassembly = Its " Partial " disassemly = Outte r Hardware In fact

Do you have to slacken the two bolts you tightened?

Just got done replacing my auger belt. My machine ST328P hydro is a rare model. It didn’t split in half after removing the bolts that hold the upper part together so l had to remove the pivots 🙆🏽‍♂️ l tell you this needed 2 people but l ended up doing it myself. Got the job done though, but a lil bit harder 😅 but it worked. Will test it tomorrow,am sure it’ll work though.

You should have installed all four bolts BEFORE you tighten them down to make sure all the holls line up

You do not need to tighten the belt?

que aceite o fluido lleva esta transmision en su interior?? se salio un reten y boto un poco, no lo veo como grasa, si no mas bien como un aceite, me ayduarian si alguein comenta!!

I don't own a Husqvarna and find it surprising the channel has so few subs.

do I have to add a claim through CZcams?

I have an Ariens 20hp 46" (93608500) with this transaxle. I purchased it last year with only about 10 hours of use. It had been purchased as new old stock by a neighbor who then only used it part of a summer on a small yard. The transaxle doesn't even have actual seals for the axle shafts like some versions. Mine just has O-rings. It started leaking grease (OO grade) with 20 hours of total use. The paint wasn't even worn off the mower blades. I was second owner of it so could not pursue a warranty replacement. The axle shafts do not have bearings or bronze bushings. They wear directly into the plastic housing. I measured the wear in the housing at 0.072inch on one side and 0.057inch on the other at that time the leaks were discovered. The axle O-rings could not seal with that much movement. The axle shaft wear in the axle housing is significantly worse now after 2 summers of mowing I ended up drilling a hole into the housing and gluing a hose to the housing with epoxy so that I can refill the transaxle with grease when ever it decides to quit driving. I'd love to join a class action lawsuit over how deliberately a poor a design this transaxle is.

Full disassembly my ass. What a piece of overly complicated junk.

People really need to learn how to Maintain their appointment. I have one of these With probably over a 1000 hours on it And I Have Moved a F 150. It used to have a 21 horse single cylinder. Now it has A 810cc Vanguard Briggs and stradden. You can change the oil. You can take transexual out and tip it upside down. Or you can buy a cheap vacuum pump. That's $340. Give or take for a brand new pump And everything else you need. The people that say if they fail, you probably just needed to change the oil. Conventional oil. The one I have really likes 20 weight 50.

no drain plug 🤣🤣🤣wtf....Tuff Torq = cheap shit

Have one of these on a Toro XLS 380. The pedal jams between foward and reverse. Have to play with the pedal like a drummer in a rock band to go fwd and backward. Can't see anything obvious with the likeages and arms causing a problem. All I can say is if I knew at the time back in 2012 about these plastic transmissions I would never have bought the Toro. Too many plastic levers, springs, control cam, rods etc the things a bloody nightmare. Taryl is spot on about these pieces of junk! Anyone got any ideas as to what's going on, why the pedal jams between fwd and rev??

K46 trans designed to last (designed to fail) after about 300 hours of use (you can get 600 hours here and there), then a rebuild kit is ~$500 May as well just get a new one, right? $750.... well, may as well just buy a new lawn mower if you'respending $700... its really a dumb thing to design things with such low service life. Oh... drain plugs are a "premium feature" 🤦‍♂️

"Respect the tightening torque" If you dont you will crack the plastic. What a joke.

I won't be buying a new tractor with one of those in it.

Truth is there hell to keep it clean and having a air compressor is a must
