Yeah, maybe that's pretty much all it has for climbing ability. I was surprised at how small the transmission is for the size of the mower. I could carry it under one arm.
The owner of the mower is happy with it but I don't think it works like new. I probably should have done the other surfaces again using the better method. My main concern is that it might create fine shavings from the uneven surfaces. I'm going to have him mow a few hours then I'll drain the oil...
Yes, just matching the surfaces. I cut a square out of sand paper and sprayed adhesive on the back and put the block on it and let it dry for a few minutes then cut the excess off and cut a hole in the center for the shaft. The first time I used the piston side of the motor block without putting...
I got the transmission back on the mower today and it seems to work good now. The problem had nothing to do with the dump valve pin. I could tell from the wear marks on one of the surfaces on the center block that I didn't flatten it well enough. The block I used to flatten it had a low spot in...
Yes, it's a lot if you buy new from a dealer but I see new k66"s on ebay for $400-$450 shipped, I just don't know if they would fit both mounting and linkage. I've read on other forums where people have done it by modifying things themselves but they had a different mower. The hubs would have to...
Thanks for the replies, I have seen on ebay where people are offering to rebuild the pumps. I really don't know what else they could do other than flatten them as I did unless the pistons are worn which the one I worked on seemed really good. I'm going to take it apart again tomorrow. I have a...
Hello, if anyone is still helping on this thread I could use some advice on a k46 rebuild I just did. The transmission appeared to be in pretty good shape internally so I just flattened the blocks on a surface plate using 600 grit wet/dry sand paper and flattened the center block surfaces also...
