GT235 Transmissions issues

Looks like a K71 in your machine, I looked at the pump shaft on the breakdown through the Tuff Torq diagrams but no idea how this would come out either :dunno:.

Before I would use a hammer on it, suggest you call Tuff Torq and ask a technician there. I have not had to call them, but saw some members here that had and they are really fine folks to deal with and offer help .

Update: I spoke with Tuff Torq. There is a ring which is number 15 on the diagram that needs to be removed before the shaft can be removed. Also they recommended using gasoline to flush the tran out. Does that sound right? It sounds like I am going to have to replace the "motor." I described to them what the mower was doing and they said it sounds like the repair kits number 201 is what I need.

Pictures of the tran all broken down. Hopefully I can put it back together.

Don't be afraid--you did a good job, looks like --pulling apart and cleaning..

(hopefully you took some pictures as you dis-assembled...):dunno:

How many hours did you have on your Deere before you decided to take your transmission apart?

I'm surprised your trans gave you problems. Pretty much the K71/2 and K92 transmission are bullet proof when the scheduled filter, and oil is changed according to the scheduled maintenance. (I think every 200 hours)

Well once its back together, believe me I plan to change it every 200 hours. I just bought it on Sunday. The guy told me it had transaxle issues and they had bought a new JD already. He sold it to me for 300 bucks. It doesn't have an hours meter and he didn't know how many hours were on it. I plan to change the engine oil, air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs before I'm all said and done.

Wife was not very happy with me when she got home. I took the two kids with me to pick it up so I had a long day. The wife walked in the door and my daughter yells "Dad bought a big tractor....."

That part is "kaput"




Is it the good diagram here?

Ok I'm back guys. After talking to Tuff Torq a bunch of times over the past few days I'm looking at 700 dollars in parts all together. Right now I feel like I have two opinions. Try to track down a used tranaxle for somewhere around 400 bucks or just replace swash plate and not the motors in my transaxle. Tuff Torq says if there is any type of grove in the face then it will cause an issue. Mine is clean except one little spot. I am going to take a picture so you guys can see. what do you guys think I should do?

What do you think?
