tuff torque k46bt swap out to K57r. anyone?

[caddylover]

before i order this sucker from surplus direct, has anyone just taken the crappy old k46 out and put one of these K57r in without modifying anything? I have a 2011 Husqvarna 20/42LS

I don't know, but Husqvarna says my tractor has a K46bt, and K46BT is in the parts diagram.

However the sticker and Tuff Torq agree its a K57R. I believe from the factory.

It uses the foot pedal shifter, not the hand lever.

Not sure what year, maybe 2018.

The LTH17546 has a K46BS according to the transmission sticker itself and is a hand shifter. I think the levers on the trans differ, and did not attempt a swap, though it may have been as simple as swapping the shift lever and doing without a reverse switch (mounted by the hand shifter on this one, and on the transmission in the other.
