    Noise In transaxle

    I am petty sure that the wine is in the Trans. I don’t hear it has bad when it is a load on it but coasting I do. Does it have oil or grease in it.

    Noise In transaxle

    I have a LA105 John Deere mower with 514 hours on it. I have started hearing a winning noise from the trans axle. It looks like it is a sealed unit does it have oil in it or just packed with grease. Would like to repair it if possible.

    Transaxle

    I have a Craftsman mower. Model # 917252540. Serial # 062995A. No mower deck. I have used this just to pull a cart and a small drag. The trans axle has gone out. Hope I can find a good used one local. Will other brand mower trans axles work?

    Starting Problem

    Thanks ILENGINE, So the sticking compression release is something I can repair or does the camshaft need replacing. Not really up on small engines. Was a diesel mechanic on road tractors for 35 years.
