Automatic is filled through the dipstick tube. You will need to find a funnel that fits into this tube. These are available at the auto parts stores. Manual is filled through the transaxel housing. You will probably need to remove a tire to get access. There should be two bolts on the transaxel housing, one for draining and one for filling. Remove the fill bolt and use a funnel as described above.
remove head pull shaft out
It's not a real hard job but it takes time. I did it in about 5 hours. - Remove battery - remove wheels and wheel assemblies - remove air filter and intake assemblies - remove backup light switch connector - remove and mark shifter assemblies - remove speedometer cable - remove 24mm plug from transaxel housing and drain fluid - remove plastic splash guards from font of body-10mm and 12mm wrenches - remove 30mm axel nuts from both sides - remove fron ball joint control arm bolts -14mm wrench - tap transaxels out - pull transaxels out from transmission - remoive starter cables -12mm wrench - remove 3 bolts on thin flywheel cover under car-10mm and 14 mm wrenches - remove transaxel bracket - 3 17mm bolts - remove lower transaxel -to-engine mount - 14 mm wrench go back up top and remove the 12mm bols holding the hydraulic slave cylinder on the front of the transaxel housing - losen only!!!! the upper transaxel-to-engine mount - remove the lower transaxel-to-engine mount - 17mm and 14mm bolts - position a jack under the engine oil pan to support engine - position a floor jack with wheels under transaxel housing - remove all bolt securing the transaxel housing - separate transaxel housing from engine and lower it - remove clutch cover - 12mm bolts - remove clutch - using a centering tool, install new clutch - re-install clutch cover - torque to 15 ft/lbs now, put it all back together. I found that the best way to re-attach the tyransaxel housing to the engine was to ust an engine hoist on wheels as I was doing this operation solo. If I'd had help, a motorcycle jack would have done quite nicely or a floorjack on wheels if I'd had two helpers Have fun..every real man must do at least one clutch replacement in his life.
A transaxel is the same thing as a transmission except its for front wheel drive cars
stick a flat head screw driver in the slot above head and turn counter clock wise.
The two bolts are reachable only ewhen you remove the air filter assembly and the battery. They can be found on the back/top part of the transaxel housing. One is adjacent to a bolt that secures the transaxel housing to the engine. The upper starter bolt is just slightl to the rear of it. ayou'll need a 14mm wrench for both bolts.
Changing the oil is as simple as looking for the oil gauge on the weed eater. Once one finds the gauge within the weed eater, then remove the cap and remove the oil.
You might want to check out the Weedeater website. I was able to find and download a manual for my Weedeater line trimmer from there. Don't know if they would have one on the lawn tractor, but certainly worth a try.
get a new one
Yes, I'd recommend the Ryobi One+ system weedeater. The batterys are removable and work with your cordless drill and a variety of other products
Place mower near street with FREE MOWER sign. That is the best way to remove the clutch/drive on this POS mower.
You need to disconnect the cable from the transaxel. Then you pull out your dash cluster. Remove clip from speedometer cable then just pull it out. Reverse for installation.
