I have a 20622 that won't roll in neutral. I pulled the transmission and opened it up to see if there was any unusual wear. Everything looks to be working properly with no visable wear. I can switch through all 3 speeds and see that they are working properly with the case open. My problem is when I put the other half on and start to tighten the bolts. The case sits flush and the axle will spin freely without being bolted down but as soon as I put in a couple bolts it seizes and won't spin. I'm almost certain I have everything aligned properly inside, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Toro | install all bolts and leave them loose then try putting in first gear & tighten 2 bolts 180 degrees apart & see if axle spins, if it locks up loosen bolts & try second then third gears accordingly, make sure you have appropriate amount of fluid or grease in transmission per toro instructions.
