Thanks for the info. However, the links that you have attached are only for a dealer. How can I purchase these blades if I am not a dealer? I did find one on Amazon but I don't know if they are the same as what you posted. Here is the link...

So what blades should I buy?

What are the blades that you are using now?

What is a good blade for my 54" deck. Where can I buy a balancing tool?

Can you give me a blade name?

Here are some photos. The deck is 54" (three blades). Good suggestion about raising from the front-thanks.

So I should remove the baffles in the attached photo?

I have a similar set u I have a similar set up on my mower. And I move the deflector up all of the way as much as I can depending on the wind!

I have a 17 year old YS4500 mower. I have about 2 acres of grass to cut. I am using mulching blades. My problem is that the deck gets a buildup of grass clippings. I know that if the grass is wet this buildup will always happen. But this happens even of the grass is fairly dry. The pix below...

Thanks for all your replies. Great information from everyone! At this point I was able to find a company that has new trans axles for my mower. I have purchased one, so I am on the road again. Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply. My property is at an altitude of 2750ft. I think like you-going down the incline instead of going up, but I have only been doing that lately. (Check post #25) Also check post #31

Okay. I stopped by a local Husqvarna dealer and looked at at Husqvarna TS 354XD tractor. Would this be a good choice for me to purchase? Or am I just buying a 5K problem?

Thanks for the info. When I first got this mower I was going crazy up the hills way over 15°. Needless to say the trans axle didn't last too long doing that. After having the trans axle replaced under warranty I stopped running up the hills. But I still have some inclines to mow. At this point I...

Does anyone know a company that makes a riding mower that has a better Trans Axle.? Are there trans axles made that have a drain plug and a oil filter? The Hydro-Gear 400506 356-0510 does not have a drain plug or a oil filter. When I first started having trouble I called Hydro-Gear and they...

I went to the Sears Parts website. I got into their chat and they said that they have the trans axle. The cost including shipping & tax would be $826.46. So the situation that I have is do I buy a new unit or do I try to rebuild the unit that I have??? I actually have two units at this point and...

I sent an email to get a price for the Hydro-Gear 400506 356-0510 Trans axle. The reply was--NO LONGER AVAILABLE! I assume that they still have some parts???

I always run the mower wide open when cutting but when I stop I turn off the blades and I put the engine at idle. I do not pull anything with the mower. I have a golf cart to pull a small trailer. See pix for the property. I do not have a lot of dust while cutting the grass--just a lot of grass...

Where can I get a good price for a new unit?

I have a 17 year old Craftsman riding lawn mower-54 inch deck-Kohler 26hp. I have replaced the Automatic Transmission (Hydro Gear) three times. Why do these units keep wearing out so fast? My grass cutting areas are about 2 acres & they are not flat. Has anyone rebuilt these Hydro-Gear...

************************************* They are refunding my money--I thought of grinding the center leg--I may try that if all else fails! I can't believe this has become such a deal!!!

********************************************************** Thanks for the reply---they are OEM and they have the lowest price! Thanks again!

**************************************************************** Thanks for your reply-- There is no way that this coil will work on the 455 Rancher. I set the coil in place and I can see that there is NO WAY to make that coil fit properly. The center metal tab is already touching the flywheel...

************************************************** Thanks--yes I have attached a photo of the old coil. I also attached two other photos--one is the old coil--the other is the new one I purchased on ebay.

*************************************************************** Thanks for your reply. Is that a OEM part? Seems a little pricey. Are all the cheaper ones junk?

I have a 455 Rancher chainsaw and I need to replace the ignition coil. I purchased a new coil on ebay--the seller said that it would fit the 455 rancher. However, when I received the part I found that it did not fit properly. Is there some confusion out there as to what coil fits a 455...
