Grasshopper 390026 Mower Deck Gearbox

CHECK OIL LEVEL !!!

THIS IS AN EXACT OEM GEARBOX LIKE INSTALLED BY FACTORY IN MY MOWER. MY OLD ONE NEVER HAD ENOUGH GEAR OIL IN IT TO FILL AN EYE-DROPPER, AND THAT IS WHY IT FAILED. (IT HAD 1500 HRS ON IT, AND LOWER SEAL HAD LEAKED OVER THE YEARS, AND NEVER BEEN REFILLED.)

4 STARS BECAUSE I MUST CAUTION ALL BUYERS TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL !!! MINE NEEDED GEAR OIL ADDED TO COME UP TO INSPECTION/FILL PORT LEVEL. TO CHECK, CLAMP UNIT IN A BENCH VISE, THEN REMOVE ONE OF THE 4 INSPECTION/FILL SCREWS AND THEN SET THE UNIT ON A LEVEL SURFACE, AS IF IT WAS IN YOUR MOWER. IF OIL IS UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE SCREW YOU REMOVED, IT IS FULL. IF NOT (LIKE MINE WAS) THEN ADD UNTIL IT IS UP TO THAT LEVEL. (I USED 85W140)

WHILE I WAS WORKING ON IT, I SHOULD HAVE DRILLED A HOLE IN THE GEARBOX PROTECTOR/SHIELD/ROCK-GUARD FOR FUTURE ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO MORE EASILY CHECK OIL LEVEL. (BECAUSE I DIDN'T, I'LL HAVE TO REMOVE THAT THING JUST TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL NEXT SPRING. I'll REMOVE ROCK GUARD AND DRILL A SMALL INSPECTION-ACCESS HOLE NEXT SPRING WHEN I ROUTINE THE MACHINE FOR NEXT YEAR'S MOWING)Vollständige Rezension lesen

Gearbox

Thid gearbox was a direct fit. No issues. I checked the gear oil level. Was low. T
Same reason the original gearbox siezed up. I recomend anyone buying this to inspect oil level prior to installation. And save yourself the grief of it wearing out prematurely. It does work perfectlyVollständige Rezension lesen
