Additional Information

Part number 788089A serves as a critical component in the functionality of your lawn tractor's transaxle system. As a robust seal, it effectively prevents oil from leaking out between the transaxle housing and the wheel axle. Oil leaks in the transaxle can lead to significant damage and reduced performance issues that this high-quality seal addresses efficiently.

When your lawn tractor experiences symptoms such as oil stains under the vehicle, decreased power transmission, or weird noises in the drive system, it could signal a failing axle oil seal. Replacing the oil seal restores the efficiency of the transaxle, maintaining optimal lubrication and preventing component wear.

To change the axle oil seal, ensure the lawn tractor is secure and elevated safely. Wear protective work gloves to protect your hands during the replacement. Carefully follow standard mechanical safety procedures to ensure a smooth installation.
