It's been a while so I thought I'd bring this post back up. I have a L120 that I need to do the rebuild on. My question is, what's the deal with the center case? TT says it should be replaced. I see that they have little filters now instead of the BB's. Can you get just the little filters and springs? I haven't taken mine apart yet...just trying to put a parts list together. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
What is it you are wondering about the center case? Are you wondering if you really need it? I replaced mine, for what that is worth. If the pump/motor is worn why wouldn't the center case be worn also. They contact each other as the pump/motor turns. The little filters are supposed to dampen the shock of switching directions better than the little BB's. Below is a list of what Duane @ TT recomended me to order. I upgraded my K46 to a K57. I would have to look at my shipping list, it is at home, to confirm everything I actually ordered. I am pretty sure I ordered more than what is listed below. I did not add the drain plug but am wishing I had. I was really hard on my L130 this summer but have been very happy with the upgrade. If you would like to know what my complete order was I can look when I get home.
