Hi all,
new to the site, and I'm hoping for a little guidance from the experienced. I have a 2001 JD 455 LG, just doing my personal yard with it. Bought it used about 3 years ago with about 200 hours on it, and it now has just under 400 hours. Last fall what I assumed was the original gearbox failed during start up. Non repairable as most of you probably know. I bit the bullet this spring and bought a new gear box (19086), filled it, and went to mowing. After about 5 hours of use, it too failed in exactly the same manor, during initial start up. The gear box is warranted, but obviously something is wrong here. The local JD dealer could not provide an answer, and I'm wondering if there is an issue with the PTO that is causing it to over torque the gearbox during start? HELP please!
