Hello, I have a John Deere LA 150 with a bad transmission (K46 BE / serial # MIA 10911). See attachment.

Will a K46 AC transmission (serial # AM 131580) fit my LA 150? If so would it be a direct fit or would I have to make some mods for this to fit in my mower?
Also, would there be any difference in gear ratio between the two transmissions?

I have no information as to what model mower the K46 AC transmission I hope to be able to use came out of so I can not cross reference the fit by the donor mower model number.

Also, would anybody have any info on a website that listed John Deere lawn tractors (and maybe others) from present day and went back to possibly the eighties or nineties year models and showed all the transmissions that were used in each model?

I thought I had it saved out to my favorites but have looked for hours with no luck. It was a pdf file I believe.

Thanks

call TUFF TORQUE at number bottom of page in a.m., ask for tech support.

I have been able to determine that the housing kit part number (1A646098110) is the same between the two different models of K46 so I am certain that the transmission I found will bolt up under my mower.

Also, all the specs from the tuff torq website ( https://www.tufftorq.com/product/k46/ ) are shown just for a K46 in general and do not appear to be model specific.

Here is the link to the K46 transmission listing for all mowers.

One thing I've seen different in a series of hydros is the axle end, some are keyed, some are splined. Usually can tell by a picture. About anything else can be worked around to make it fit.
