John Deere L120 forward and reverse are REVERSED?

I bought this tractor cheap because the transaxle was bad, after replacing the motors in the transaxle it now drives but in reverse when i want to go forward and forward when I want reverse. Any help would be appreciated!

Sounds like a major problem. What all did you do (or did not do) ??

You installed the ramp backwards you will need to pull it apart again and flip the ramp.

Just turn your seat around!

Batty54, you are exactly right. Now that I think about it I was so frustrated with the spring loaded motor that I put it in upside down. Rustyiron, I'm lmao! Thank you all for your help!

"it" meaning the ramp.

Should work, there are a bunch of sears K46 transaxles "new" cheap on e-bay, made that way for sears machines. The axels are a little shorter by a 1/2 inch or so but same trans for 1/4 of the price if you can catch them. I missed one for under $100 with free shipping.
