Just a thought to help prevent comebacks on these seals - take some brakleen to the seals mating area on the case to remove all oil,dirt & grease etc.. then add some loctite bearing and seal adhesive (can’t recall the number sorry) around the outer ribbed edge of the seal before pushing in the new seal. It will greatly help hold the new seal in the case. Cheers !

@@PinBall3 good one, sir ! modern childish 'engineers' .....never went to the school of hard-knocks....maybe use angle grinder with narrow wheel, cut groove in axle shaft, with 1/2 of the groove, underlapping that seal. Then, snap 0 ring it in, seal cannot move anywhere.

@rodconner9079 3 года назад

@@PinBall3 Same thought I had! There are a couple ways of doing it. Bushing, whether it be metal/brass/copper or even a plastic (pvc, cpvc, black poly, etc), glue on flange or a washer/spacer at the seal. Be sure to not get it too tight -- maybe 1/8 gap/play (@ wheel and seal both). It'd keep the seal from walking out. The seal isn't tight at all -- able to push in-place with thumbs (sorta tells me it has or needs to breath/vent)... being plastic/fiberglass, as it warms up, would have a tendency to sweat. The flex in the housing allows the shaft to wobble, walking that seal right out.

The problem is the sideways wiggle allowed by the rs800. It allows the shaft to work the seal loose over time.I solved this problem by cutting two equal lengths of galvanized pipe and putting a washer up against the seal.

@jeeperjeff70 3 года назад

As a mechanical engineer in the auto industry, I remember the fear when Ford Festivas went to 4 and Renault LeCars went to 3 lugs per wheel. So, with my 40 year old JD214 still sporting 5 lug bolts per wheel, I was enlightened in this video to see that modern riding mowers are using E-clips. It makes sense from a cost standpoint, but I haven’t purchased a mower in 20+ years. So, I didn’t know. Also I was interested to see the seal can push in by hand because I could not envision a seal driver (or deep socket) longer than the axle stub that would allow the seal to be “driven” in. As always, it was a great video that I’m sure helped people with modern mowers either save money or understand what they were paying their local mechanic/chickanic to do.

I can easily see why the "seal" comes out. Absolutely nothing is holding it in place. If that is their design, they are looking for service repairs. I would total clean the housing to bare material with no oil or grease and coat the new seal, on the outer diameter, with some type Loctite and allow it to dry/cure before moving the mower. Odd they didn't have a "C" clip groove with a "C" clip installed to hold the seal in place. JMHO

It's actually insane how much better my old 1975 wheelhorse is built compared to riding mower today haha I mean everything down to the manual transmission and the axles is so much better on my wheelhorse .. and husqvarna makes two types of riders. You need to be careful when buying them because they make a cheaper version- plastic trans and other cheap parts. And they make a very well built version with good parts and no cheap stuff but they look the same for the most part so you have to actually know what models are made which way.. or you can usually tell by price but that's not a guarantee :)

I wont buy a new mower when the time comes. I'll keep fixing this one until the engine dies. Then I'll Frankenstein something. Has to be a stick. I might not have brakes but that just means I use a lower gear going down hills. Mine came without the clutch adjusted that gives you 'sort of brakes' with the clutch. I looked up a JD 100 and the screw was in the same place. So I sort of have brakes. Yay.

@mikewarren9850 3 года назад

I liked your video, however, when you press the new seal into place, it went in way to easy. What I have done in the past on similar unit, I used gasket silicone and put on the outer flange of the seal. Once seal is installed, let it overnight so the silicone sets up. That has usually kept the seal from popping out again. We just need to remember, the manufacturer want to either sell customers a new transmission or a whole new lawn tractor. Raise the prices and build them cheaper!

@davidgoettel957 3 года назад

Caution! If you fail to put the key in the axle it will cause the brakes to not work as well The brake pedal locks up the transmission and without a key on the axle the wheel will turn even with the axle locked. The way she has shown to install the key is the best method as you are sure it is in place. Do not put the key on the axle first and then install the wheel as it is likely to push the key off the axle out the back and you will not notice it. Always spin the wheel after installing the wheel and key to make sure they are connected.

@tomdillard9558 3 года назад

a lot of times a seal will blow out because the vent on the gearbox is clogged and won't allow pressure to escape when the oil and air in the gearbox gets hot and expands. I've seen it happen on a couple of trucks I've owned. The pinion shaft seal on the axle got clogged with mud and the seal blew out. I don't think it happens all at once but every time the oil gets hot it moves it a little bit and eventually it pushes it out enough to cause a leak.

@chuckfischer7202 2 года назад

Maybe a length of 1" hose, cut to fit between the back of the wheel and the face of the seal. Not so tight that it creates friction. Just reuse the old seals. New seals can't be expected to work with the axles wobbling around in worn-out bores. It's a shame the junk they make and people unwittingly buy.

@benjurqunov 2 года назад

My mower axels wobble about 10 thou where they exit the seals and about 200 thou end play. It’d be interesting to know what the bearing material is. I suspect its axels ride on a bronze surface whats moulded within the plastic. I’ll find out after I swap in a hydro.

@MrWirebrain 2 года назад

I had a hard time believing those seals did not have some kind of retainer on them. So I went out and looked at my Husqvarna and there is a large washer on the face of those seals and a spacer that faces the washer against the wheel. So it looks like you’re missing parts. That seal should never be expected to stay in place without a retainer.

That reminds me of an 80’s Trans Am I restored. The rear axle leaked gear lube because the seal had spun and rounded out the housing to where a new seal could be pressed in easily with two fingers. Since I didn’t want to do the job twice, I made sure that the housing was absolutely, thoroughly degreased with brakeclean then epoxied the seal in place. Six years later, still no leaks.

I have a Husqvarna rider. I fixed my seals and added a homemade seal pop out preventer. I used 2 large washers that just fit the size of the axle. The inner one is the same size as the seal the inner one is a little smaller. Then I cut a piece of pvc pipe wide enough to take up the space between the wheel and the seal but narrow enough it doesn’t rub. Maybe 1/16” clearance. 2 years later seals are still in place. I have found the bouncing and flex is what makes the seal pop out. This spacer prevents the seal from popping out.

It’s a darn shame that I just found out about the plastic transmissions. My mower has only 115 hours and I use it like I want to be using it next year to. I changed the seals the other day and only mowed once and the seal is out again 😡 I’m gonna clean it up and try to keep it in there.

@intrepid5684 3 года назад

Hey Chickanic, love the channel. You refer to the transmission as being made of fiberglass. It's most likely a glass filled injection molded compound. It consists of tiny glass fibers mixed into a molten compound which is injected into a mold. Regardless, it should be able to be molded with tolerances that would retain the seal better. It shouldn't just come out of the housing like that. Thanks for bringing this up. I never knew they were making these housings with this process and material. I think it has potential, it just needs refinement. Keep up the good work.

@landonedwards7504 2 года назад

Agreed! I used to be in plastics compounding. If the housing is made to automotive standards (and it probably isn't), the "fiberglass" could be glass-filled nylon 6 polymer. That's commonly used for under-the-hood applications because it takes a lot of heat and resists expansion/deforming. (Nylon 6 melts around 420-450 degrees). It also has some wear/durability traits. So the loose fit of the seal is likely more of a molding tolerance issue than heat or wear and tear. The housing is probably made to allow for replacement with no tools - another way of saying with no acceptable level of quality. Once again, it's true - you get what you pay for. Unlike with an automobile, where components aren't allowed to just fall apart (unless it's GM in the 1980s & 90s).

Do you need to add more lube to the transmission to replace what leaked out?

@gregmaxfield4405 3 года назад

Thanks for another great how to video. Changing the seal is a straightforward process when you know how ! Love your work !!! 😊

Hi. My name is Dorothy. I watch every video I can of your tutorials. You said the word niple 9 times in the video about changing the blade and spindle. Keep on making your videos.

At least the wheel axle isn't made of plastic...yet. Great video.

Southern slang lol it's ok... me the Missouri man I find myself saying surry instead of sorry people think im Canadian on some of my pronouncements on words... might be cause my mom is from Minnesota 😜 anyways great video it helps alot!

@paulmonk7820 Месяц назад

Would it be ok to clean the axle seal area with a degreaser? 😮

@paulmonk7820 Месяц назад

Weird that there's no way to keep the seal in place. 😮

How do you replace the grease or oil that came out once the seal failed?

@ronnieso 3 года назад

You said "nipple's" 9 times in the video! Great information in all your videos.

@harryerhart5978 3 года назад

How do you replace the grease ? My JD dealer has a whole dumpster full of those transmissions😲😲 nice video

@danielcastelow7523 3 года назад

It just some thing for the manufacturer to save money on

@THEJR-of5tf 2 года назад

Judging from the way the transaxle distorted when you jacked it up. I would have thought it would be flexing in use, which will damage the seals.

This has become my favourite channel. Thankyou.

Do you have to replace any grease that was lost ?

@bulkchart3239 Год назад

does the trans not need oil added back to replace what was lost?

@philipmanter3216 2 года назад

i just pushed the parts back in annd put on a clamp-

@sasquatch4554 2 года назад

Should have Emory papered rust off axel as it will damage the fine lip on new seal. Also looked to me there's enough thickness to the housing that if you carefully drill a couple of small holes in edge some small sheetmetal screws and flat washers might cure that problem.

I’m so happy to own a Honda with a hydrostatic transmission. 😂

@crashwrench 3 года назад

Hi , With the top of the transmission being so dirty, Was the " vent stopped up " ? If so , Heat build internal pressure and can leak and / or push out the seals . Some have a metal " Axle Bushing " inside . This bushing wears and knocks out the seal .

How do we refill all of the missing grease / oil??

@ProfessorDIY 2 года назад

The problem is not the material, aircraft are built using fiberglass, the problem is poor quality material

9 times I counted ”nipples” to in the video. Biggest wish would be for the black/white Briggs hat. Thanks for all the great videos! Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪

@johnduff6436 3 года назад

I got to ten repetitions of the word "nipples" before becoming crazed at the very thought of all those nipples. Seriously, I like your well produced videos. They're informative and entertaining. Thanks so much, see you in the next one!
