Parker HTJ & Dixie Chopper

[oldgearhead]

Here are the details of my mower:

• 2017 Dixie Chopper Blackhawk HP 2560 KOE purchased in 2018
• Kohler EZT 740 S/N: 4702504833

Left Side Parker Transmission

• Model: HTJ12L260FALKCA000
• S/N: 170350016

Long story short when my Dixie blew the plastic idler pulley 6 months after I purchased, I was not aware of the impact to my transmission. Still under warranty, everything I was told, that was broke was repaired. Fast forward a few years and I blew the idler spring. My dealer, like so many said they had no idea when they could get to the repair. With the help of this forum, I replaced the idler spring. A sound I have complained about over the years to my dealer has gotten worst and I thought all related to the spring. When I was replacing the spring I noticed the fan on the left Parker was "broke" and the pulley was wobbly (for lack of better terms) on the Parker as well.

I have received very good support from Parker and their tech support. I received the updated parts and assembly list and was given the nearest distributor (after several weeks of searching). BUT.....and this is big.....although the distributor I contacted was very helpful; they told me Parker does not provide parts or transmissions for distribution! That was a quote after the distributor contacted Parker directly on availability and shipment.

My questions are:

• Does anyone know of a vendor who rebuilds Parker HTJ's??
• Does anyone know of a vendor who will supply parts for Parker HTJ's??
• Does anyone know of a vendor who sells (at a discount hopefully) Parker HTJ's?

LOL as you can see I am desperate. I only have this zero turn and cut about 6-7 acres a week. Downtime would be critical, so weary of tearing it apart for it to sit.

I can honestly tell you this will be my very last Dixie Chopper. This is my second, unfortunately nothing but issues since purchased and I am done with the brand. I need to get through this summer's cuttings if at all possible.

Thanks for any assistance,
Kevin

Sort of confusing as to what exactly the situation is.

I need to either find a vendor for Parker parts, rebuilt transmissions or new .....bottom line I need to replace or repair my current Parker. Sorry about the confusion.

Thanks hlw49! By chance do you know of a source for parts of this Parker transmission? I was hoping to buy just the fan -Parker #420004.

Looks like the fan, Parker #420004 is trashed. I unfortunately cannot find a source and Parker does not sell retail. Although hlw49 has the new part number I would prefer if at all possible to find a rebuilt unit before buying new. Thanks

I remember replacing a fan on an Eagle which is a souped up Black Hawk. I will check next week and see what parts are avlailble through Dixie Chopper.

When I google Parker fan 420004 it takes me to an ebay ad sold out that lists the part same as 607509. Looking at that part it comes back online to 450-0024-00 which is a 7" HTE HTJ fan. One HTE-HTJ manual shows some units with both a 6" and a 7" fan. 420002 6" and 420004 7". Looking further Cub Cadet shows a 7" fan part number PH-420004 $66.91 at cubcadet.com . MTDparts.com also shows a PH-420004 7" fan for $66.91 in stock. Troybilt also has it listed for sale. theoempartsstore.com has it listed at $59.61. Have you googled the part number? PH-420004

Thank you !!! I have googled, but now I see that I was using the wrong part number. Thanks for the correct part number and your patience. It’s been a long week. I appreciate the help.
