Lawn Tractor Transaxle 794711

Lawn tractor transaxle installation

Excellent product. The transaxle installed with no problem. The axle length is shorter that the one that was removed, and required downsizing of the axle spacers which involved simply cutting off a short piece of the original spacer. During the installation, as the trans axle is being brought into position , engage the emergency rod/spring assembly into the arm on the right side of the unit, then attach the trans axle to it's transaxle brackets over the axle with the four mounting bolts.Next loosen ( but do not remove ) the three bolts that attach the transaxle bracket to the chassis. Next attack the vertical two anti-torque straps (one left ,one right) on the front of the unit.( You will need to use the bolts from the old unit as these are self-tapping bolts that you will need to self-tap into the appropriate holes on the new unit.Likewise for the bolt that attaches the Belt keeper bar unit on the top-front of the unit) The new unit comes with untapped hole for these bolts, but the bolts from the old unit taps in nicely. Now that all the supporting bolts are in place then proceed to tightening them. Next with the shift-lever in neutral, loosen but do not remove the shift adjustment bolt, determine that the transaxle is in neutral ( both wheels should simultaneously spin in the same direction) then attach the shift arm to the transaxle shift shaft. Next retighten the shift lever adjustment bolts and the installation is done. Attach the drive belt and that should be it.
