Issues with LT1000 dana spicer transaxle

[7394]

the chinese dana-spicer 6800-1 has a chain instead of all gear drive. If mine wasn't leaking right after warranty, I would have never had to change it. The parts for it are obsolete.

BlazNT, thanks for the parts numbers. I will see if i can confirm what I have.

7394, interesting. I would be happy just in solving the sticking in gear situation.

I was looking under my Craftsman LT 1000 and Poulan last night. The pulleys that engage the belts are different. Although I did not actually measure them, the Craftsman pulley is about 3 to 4 inches in diameter and the Poulan is about 2 inches. The bolts in the Poulan pulleys are very loose. I wounder if the guy I got these mowers from swapped the pulleys for some reason. I will have to find a manual for each machine.

Do not have the model number for the Poulan so can not get that info.

Thanks for the link. I will check out the pulleys.

When I go out today, I will get the info for the Poulan.

Found your other post with the other model number. "Thread: replacing dana spicer 6800-1 transaxle in 917.288250"
How many transaxle dana spicer are you having problems with?

I am having problems with one transaxle dana spicer, which is on my Craftsman LT 1000.

My apologies for not answering this question yesterday.

The Poulan Model is PTY 175G42. There is another number also, 960 160025 00.

I compared the pulleys on the LT 1000 to the manual parts break down. The LT 1000 pulleys are correct.
