Change transmission cable Gravely mower

[mulchman]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace a gravely mower (MDL 911174) transmission cable. It appears that you need to loosen torx screws on the top of the transmission so as to have enough of a gap between the pulley and the top of the housing on the transmission. I can't figure out how to do so without pulling the rear axle. I was wondering if there some secret. The owner's manual refers to removing hardware. I thought running a torx down through the deck at a 45 degree angle would let me remove a screw holding down one side but couldnt get that to seat. Removing the rear axle seems extreme. Hoping someone has a tip on how to do this.

thanks, mm

Is this mower a walk behind? Like a 21" cut? The model # you posted, is that the mower model number or is that the cable part number? Does the transmission weigh 100lbs or more like 25lbs ? Maybe you could post a picture or two of your mower.
