I came across this site while looking for info on repair of replacement of an tuff torq 46 K (or JD part am131580). I have read there is a repair kit for this but tuff torque site is not user friendly or very operational.
I have a part of an antique property/farm in north central NC which is over five acres with half in woods and half in lawns with giant antique trees and shrubs and then a monstrous field about 1.5 acres which is a large bowl with giant trees and roots big as the green giants arms coming up through the ground. This field is really a big bowl with 35 degree slant on all 3 sides which goes into a 'holler' which turns into a stream in our woods abutting this.
For ten years I've used a Scott's JD L2048 to manage this. I do most repairs myself and have kept it going through this rough mowing which has a long season here in NC. I have 2 repair shops, one an authorized JD dealer/repair nearby where i take it for things I can't do (no workshop yet) and they wanted over 1100.00 to replace it. I'd just gone past the 1000 hour mark and for the first time the tranny started to slip. No crunching, no problems leading up to this, which was always amazing that this tranny lasted this long. It continued to loose power and then the other day I tied to move it into its winter berth and it wouldn't go back or forward. Some folks have said this may just be low fluid level, but on a 'sealed' transmission, I have no way to fill/check level. Any help will be really great.
Aside from this, as I keep searching around for answers I keep coming upon very nice forums like this and am very thankful. This little part of God's Earth, near Winston-Salem, NC, is about as good as it gets. Good little city, an hour from the Blue Ridge/Appalachians and not too far from the ocean. I'm from the real North IN New England and New York originally and miss the real four seasons, but the shorter and warmer winters (except the ice storms) are a nice bonus. My last winter in Maine I had a foot of snow every week for 10 weeks straight.
I married into a good Southern family and have 2 beautiful kids, son 8 and daughter almost 12 (eek!). Though I started out in the arts I went to become a psychologist and am now -- after years doing clinical work, my real strength and passion -- have to do mindless government bureaucrat work to make enough for the family. We're part of the 99% nevertheless and this is partly why I try to repair things, aside from the love of it.
Good to meet ya'll,
Richard
