How to Remove Zero Turn Hydrostatic Hydro-Gear Transmission (John Deere Z255 Lawn Mower) 

Thanks for the video. I am ready to pull mine and you let me know I was doing it correctly.

I don't even have a mower but this was unironically an entertaining video and I learned a thing or two as well, thank you for this video Mike

Hi Mike,you’re so funny,it’s a pleasure to Watch your vidéo and it helps me a lot for my Ez-Trak 425 .Thanks Claude from QC in Canada.

Works! BUT make sure you have an Impact Drive with enough strength. My little Black and Decker was challenged. Backing out and in a few times got a couple of tough bolts out.

Thanks for posting this! We have a Z6700. I am hoping it is as easy as replacing the fluid to get this thing moving better. Really appreciate the video!

Hey! Loveing your video. I couldn't do lawn mower repair with out'em. I have a Question? A belt got Tangled around transmission fan, when it broke. Cause the opposite side to stop pulling. I got the Transmission loosened and let down, resting on a block . Now what? down on the block

Are usually put a small jack underneath it so It don’t drop. Great video

Great video. I had a tornado drop a tree on my zero turn and now the right side won't go backwards. I also can't get the brake to disengage. From the top, everything looks fine, but I drove it up under my carport, and now it's stuck under there because it won't back up, and I can't push it. Unfortunately, I don't currently have a decent floor jack. I'm hoping it's just a bent linkage, and there's nothing wrong with the transmission itself. I thought I'd have to fix it myself, but my grandmother was nice enough to offer to pay to get it fixed for me. I have someone coming out next week. I decided to look up a repair manual. It's a Husqvarna, yeah, that didn't go well. I did find their Online parts store, though, and the IPL, but I was curious how the linkages and stuff connect. This video was pretty helpful at showing me that. It also showed me that if I was repairing it myself like I initially thought I'd have to do, I'd have to jack it up and take the tire off to see those linkages. I was a vehicle mechanic for 20 years for the army, but zero turn mowers are a bit different from forklifts, heaters, and HMMWV so I was at a bit of a loss without a repair manual and to make matters worse, the tools you use in the Army belong to the Army so you don't get to keep them.

I have a troy bilt 0turn lawn mower stop pull when about a hour after mowing can it be repaired

So how do I get this list you talk about? Could a person remove a 3400 trans and install a 3800 in its place?

Why not use a vacuum pump and suck all of the fluid out and then replace it. I will try this next week. It's better than going through all of the trouble. Do it a couple of times to make sure you remove the fluid.

Could you tell me what model transmissions I need for a John Deere Z525E?

You rock man!

Great video Mike. Don’t keep us hanging too long for the reinstall. Is this identical to the removal on a Deere Z355R? Also which is the rear left wheel, the one on the left when sitting on the mower or the one on the left when standing in front looking at it? Yes I’m that dumb lol

What is the Part called for the wheel to mount on?

Would this apply to a john z425?

Thanks

I thought john deere used tough torque transmissions?

If you got a cub cadet zero turn its not that easy of access

WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS GIGGLING IN THESE VIDEOS???
