Has anyone industry wide attempted or successfully added a drain plug to non serviceable hydrostatic transmissions?

Also, could running the mower in wet boggy areas that splashes water up and under the mower cause water to enter the transmission?

Do you leave the mower outside and uncovered? Do you wash the hot mower down with a water hose after using it? I ask this because a hot transmission with minimal moisture contamination SHOULD dissipate that moisture through a properly functioning vent. Maybe stormwater has entered the...

How many hours did you have on the transmissions?

I hear that some people remove the trans and flip it upside down. My AT in my Civic requires removal and replacement of 2.3(?) quarts of fluid every so often, so theoretically the fluid is completely changed every three (?) services. My civic has 270k miles with no transmission problems so far...

Yeah, the previous advice about removing the pulley sounds best, and the belt is likely damaged, be prepared with a new replacement. I would also suggest a simple bracket on the lead side of the pulley to help prevent future occurrences.

I just test drove one of these ZTS yesterday and I was very impressed. I had my heart set on a a riding tractor and the salesman showed me how much better the ZTS is on steep slopes these are than zero turns and riding tractors. As far as steering you turn the wheel like a car and it is...

I have stored ethanol fuel in the "new" oring sealed cans and I have had no issues to date. I use ethanol fuel in everything, without treatment because the gas gets used quickly. But, I do use non-lethal fuel for mixed fuel, chainsaws, and those small engines that do not get run often enough...

I'll second the MyRide.
