Quick history: I have the John Deere L130 with 23HP motor, which I purchased new in July 2005. I began having the issues with the transaxle by around 2009, and with little more than 100 hours on the mower. Mower was just slow on slight inclines, to begin with. By 2010, it got worse, and wouldn't go up steeper inclines, at all. Symptoms seemed to get worse the longer the mowing session lasted, and finally wouldn't even pull itself for very long on flat terrain.
Never have pulled any attachments with the mower, or even used the snowplow I bought with it, new. Just the double baggers mounted on the back. Very few, small inclines in my yard, either. In other words, I don’t feel that I have ever “pushed” the tranny! Still, reading here led me to believe that was exactly what was wrong, so yesterday I pulled the unit off and am preparing to make a parts order from Tuff Torq.
Information: I want to be certain that I am correctly reading the list posted by stladrill to the Sticky from back in 2010, with respect to my transaxle’s numbers, so that I order the correct parts.
Numbers cast into my transaxle: K46 IA6460-24340 on the bottom left of wheel axle housing. On the base it has the same first series of numbers, but the last series is 24162.
The sticker says: TUFF TORQ 7A646024390 S/N: 46AC0259880
This serial number seems to fit into the list posted by stladrill (K46AC 0108108 – 0360248).
Questions: Just want to verify that my S/N means I am good to go with ordering the listed P/N’s for pump, motor, filter, and sealant from that same post ?
Also, these can be ordered directly from Tuff Torq using the “Catalog Shop” link on their website, correct?
It is recommended to refill with 1.85 Liters of a 5W50 synthetic oil, yes?
Finally, anyone able to offer a ballpark estimate on how long it might take to receive the order from Tuff Torq?
Thanks for your help!
