HR-195. 3-speed transmission issue.

[JD14SB]

Anyone know if 2-speed transmission from and HR-214 would fit into the HR-195? My HR-195 has a 3-speed. I guess the axle would be too long but maybe it can be changed.

It appears a new trans might be a more direct path to your goal.

I think you are correct, Harmony Seeker. Not sure I want to spend $180 on a transmission for a 27 year old mower, however. Not finding a good used one either. Might just leave it a push mower.

Very hard to find a trans for your HR195 .I collect these mowers,have several Hr216,HR214,HR216 but only 1 HR195 .Its 19" mower so the rear shaft also 19".You may find the trans for HR215 or HR214 and cut off about 1" both side (best is to math the lengh both side with your trans ) then tape M8 screw on both end .Wheel is the same,cable,and adjusment is the same .You may use trans from HR215 HXA .ITS hydrostatic and run more smooth,speed will be slower as your PTO shaft have lower gear ratio than HXA engine

You may have to spent 100 for a good used trans from HR215,ask them to included all cable and do what I said about .IUt will out last the new HRX217 with Chinese engine ($600)

You may well leave it a push mower, but if they're as rare as tranchinh indicates, I'd ask a hefty sum anyway and sell it as is! Look at the prices they're asking for used ones on Craigslist!

There are still parts available for that 3-speed transmission, and good diagrams on boats.net. So repair is an option. Damn things are bulletproof, they only problem I've had is when the nylon key holder assembly swells so it gets stuck in one gear, but its an fix with sandpaper.

The same gearbox, just with a longer axle, is on my hra215 (hr215?). If you find another comparable transmission (ie, identical gearbox, different axle length) you could simply open both units up and swap the axle. May take awhile to find, but I've seen clean units on ebay for <$100, on occasion.
