Tuff Torque rebuild

[bob747cat]

Decided to join up because I live on 40 acres and normally slash grass with tractor IH B250 but cut around house with JD L108 and was searching net for info about Tuff Torque K46 repairs as after only 125 hours the back axle is starting to growl. Flat cutting and not hard work at all . Beginning to think I should have waited for a manual gear unit

Tuff Torq sells a repair kit (#1A646099580) for $360.00 ...

May be normal according to these guys in 3/2008,
Tuff Torq K46 transmission noise - Tractors Forum - GardenWeb

They stated;
"Hydrostatic whine should be called hydrostatic growl"

I bought & installed the K55 repair kit....... but doing a "bench test" (driving the pulley with my electric drill), the shafts are turning in the reverse (opposite) direction...... I'm quite sure I installed the "swash plate with the proper orientation, but am reluctant to reinstall into the tractor & the have to pul it again..... anyone have a thought?
