This just doesn't seem quite right to me:banghead3 :banghead3 :banghead3 I am considering doing the K66 transaxle upgrade to my Jd La145.......... I found them forsale....... brand new on Ebay for $ 299.00 or as a kit for $899.00 which includes everything that you need including rims..... I contacted Tuff Torq directly and this is the quote they sent me.............................


Hello,
The K66's will cost around $1,300 ($150.00 freight) and the K72'Ss will
cost around $1,600 ($175.00 freight:crybaby: :crybaby: Why can it be that you can find there transaxle on ebay for $300 vs them trying to sell it for more than 5 times what it can be found for??????????????? Just wanted to see what everyone thought............ because you could really buy a new lawnmower instead of replacing a $ 1500 transaxle..... IF you buy your tractor for $2700 I can't believe John Deere sells their engine and entire frame for $ 1200.............. Thinking this is just another company trying to screw the small guy over:banghead3

I'm not on the hunt just yet!!!!!! but am worried from what I've read that I may only get a couple of years out of this transaxle and all I do is mow grass with it now.........................If it craps out on me I will deffinetly up grade to either the k66 or the k72 for only a few bills more and never worry again.



Do it right the first time............ No F$#@in around !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long have you had it?????????? I find that mine makes a whine whenever I first engage a direction of movement.. forward or reverse....... and then the sound goes away......... I have no loss of power since I only have 12 hrs on it total and I do plan on changing the oil in it..... I have a pump to suck out the old oil............ I do haul a cart sometimes too... I just don't want it to just burn up on me in the future........ If it does from the use I am putting it thru ...... Cutting grass ... I will never buy another Lawn tractor again and will upgrade to a Compact Utility for sure.
