John Deere 2305 Compact Tractor Transmission and rear PTO failure

[yelbike]

Did a bunch of loader work moving gravel so I was on and off of the pavement and I noticed some spots on the driveway. Took it into the dealer they thought that perhaps the gasket on the rockshaft was leaking so they replaced that, only then did they notice that after cleaning up the area that the rear transaxel was leaking and had been what looked to be epoxied. SON OF A !!!!!! 2000 for the part and roughly 3000+ in labor. Not sure what to do from here. I used mine for loader work and MMM, no rear PTO impliments. Granted I bought it at a farm auction so I'm more or less screwed.

Sucks. I read of some failures stemming from the mid PTO. One in particular hit a brick with his MNM which jammed in good. The shock went up the drive line and broke the case near the rear PTO shaft.


Epoxy!! What an a$$whole!!

So is this the culprit?
Tuff Torq | K92

Tuff torq recommends synthetic in their K46 trannys. They are prone to problems too.

Does this tractor really use a K92?

Yes K92 is the one. Found it somewhere in the documentation when I bought my tractor but that was 10 years ago and I've slept since then. Tufftorq is part of Kanzaki and Kanzaki is part of Yanmar if I remember correctly.

The Factory name plate on the small JD tractors is a Yanmar plate, theyre made in Japan by Yanmar for JD.

The Tuff Torq k92 is not used in the 2305/2210. The only tractors using this transmission are the Simplicity Legacy XL and John Deere x700's.

Ok so what one is on the 2210/2305?

What brand/model is it, I don't know, I'm wanting an answer to that myself. It's probably some Yanmar/John Deere product specially built for the machine.

I say the k92 is not in the 2210/2305's because these tractors have a 2 speed transmission (as you know), while the k92 is single ranged. Take a look at both of the rear ends installed in a tractor---they look completely different. The Tuff Torq also has quite a bit weaker hydraulic pump than the 2210/2305.

Does anyone know what the last series number built that way is?

Does any one have an idea how to replace the rock shaft on the rear pto of A J.D. 2305 or where I can get information on rock shaft replacement . Thank you : Richard
