Hello from Australia,
I have bought the above mini ride on mower, which has a problem/s with the transaxle. I knew so when I purchased it, but got it at a good price, hoping the issue was only slack chains.
I have the transaxle disassembled on the bench, and have found the differential shaft bushings and chains definitely need replacing.
However, Im not sure about the differential. It has what I would call excess sloppy movement in the short stub drive shaft , feeling like a CV joint in a front wheel drive car. I can move it up and down laterally 1/2" in all directions by its outer end.
Can anyone who has replaced this item with a new item , recall if the shaft should be very firm , ie., no lateral movement or very little ?
A very expensive item here in Australia, so unlike the worn bushes, its not something I want to replace if this movement is normal, or just because Ive got it all pulled down.
If that movement is normal, can it be serviced internally ?
Thank you,
Regards.
