Hi All - I have a Tuff - Torque K-46 hydrostatic transaxle that is in a Craftsman riding mower (about 12 years old). My problem is that every few years the left rear axle will break in the identical place just outside of the housing. In the past I have been able to order the axle and what ever other parts I may need from Tuff-Torq. They have changed their policy and now will only sell the axle included in a kit that includes a lot of parts that I do not need - such as a right axle (not broken), sealant (have plenty left from previous repairs), filter (I have a new one), etc.
As a result, the cost for an axle kit is $189.63 instead of the $40 - $50 that would be the cost of just the needed parts.
My question is - Is there another supplier for parts or are there other options? I have tried looking on Craig's List for mower parts or junk mowers in the Portland, Oregon area with no luck.
Thanks for taking the time to read this........
