Lawn Tractor STX46 Transaxle Repair

[RandyT]

I do enough repairs on JD mowers that I have my own account with jdparts, and an open account with my local dealer that I have them sent to for pickup

Its nice being able to just look up my own parts, and put them in a shopping cart and then just show up at my dealer, and they hand me my bag or box of parts and walk out without even slowing down some days.

Just registered at JD and learned the parts go to a dealer. Now your statement makes sense to me. Didn't realize the parts wouldn't be shipped to me and our nearest dealer is 90 minutes round trip.

Will wait until I get the case open before ordering.

I think you can have them shipped directly to you instead of going to the dealer to pick them up. You just pay shipping instead of picking up.

Perfect. Thanks again Randy for your help.

Hey Randy,

Help. Removed all the T-30 Torx Bolts around the perimeter of the case and split with a screwdriver all around the case but it won't completely separate. Is there a trick to getting it to open? I'm afraid if I wedge it open any wider it will crack the aluminum.

Remove the pulley on the top and clean out all the areas under the pulley. I seem to remember that there is one or two bolts down in that area also

Makes sense and I did not yet remove that pulley. Was hoping to avoid it but I'll try it tomorrow.

It you don't find them there, they could also be on the bottom. if I remember correctly there may be two.

You may also want to consider item 39 which is the shift keys parts number AM126117 since they are a wear parts and replacement now will save you headaches down the road.

Found the last two bolts. Thank you Randy. Also found the clip I damaged trying to get the wheel off the axle. Anyone guess which one I need to replace?
