hydro tranny are there any differences

[mechanic mark]

oh well, no one here knows so i guess i will have to leave them for last when i have the time to compare them side by side

keakar, Gil from TUFF TORQUE Tech Support called me back with this information: K46AW fender controlled & K46BT pedal controlled are not compatible to be swapped.

Well sir I have no idea, I've never tried to interchange them, I was just telling you what might need to happen....

There is no such thing as a linkage that can not be made to work.
I once fitted a RER tranny into tractor because the pensioner could not afford the proper replacement & I inherited a dozen new trannys with the business.
Lots of bell cranks & cables .
It just depends on the competency of the person doing the job and the time available to do it .
Naturally if the units are not identical then it will not be plug & play .

thank you very much, now i know not to waste shop time on them

i was hoping being both k46 trannys they might swap out but thanks to you i am learning more about them

i had assumed they maybe were different but wasnt sure so i came here to ask the experts willing to help

If it takes a phone call to Tech Support to find a correct answer then that's what I'll do. I am by no means an expert, just a retired former mechanic both military & civilian that enjoys helping folks out. The experts on this Forum are Rivets, ILengine, bertsmobile1 & several others. I give GOD all the credit for the wisdom & knowledge he has given me.

One other thing. I wouldn't just assume the other K46 is a good transmission either. Might be better off pulling the mounted unit and cleaning it out, refill with new oil, reseal and trying it instead. Many (me for one) have done this and gotten a couple hundred more hours out of it.
