After rebuild I start the purge process on the work bench, first by turning the input pulley by hand until I can get the output shaft to start turning, then will put a driver in my cordless drill with a socket on it to put on the nut of the input shaft nut and spin the input until it completes purge at least to work bench standards before reinstalling in the mower and doing the final purge. Never had more than just a couple minutes to bench purge on, so I am wondering if there isn't not right about this tranny causing the purge problems. Or many not a purge problem but something actually wrong internal allowing oil to bypass the normal passages.
Here's what i've deduced so far,
There is nowhere else on the internet with instructions on how to purge this specific hydro. there's also no instruction on what oil to use or anything honestly. This leads me to believe that this hydro was never meant to be serviced. So i imagine that its taking a long time because it wasn't designed to purge like this. This is definitely more of a "replace" than "repair" kind of brand. The purge is very slowly working and its not making any weird noises or anything. All the important internal parts seemed in pretty good shape to be honest, so i imagine there's just an air pocket somewhere in the hydro still. i guess it'll work its way out eventually.
