Transmission Swap

[XT1guy]

My JD of 18 years finally died. The transmission quit. (k 46 Tuff Torque). Bought a surplus K57 and it was set up the wrong way for the JDs controls. Tried to flip the swash plate inside the transmission, puit back together and it didn't work. Question, couldn't find anything good and used so I opted for a new Cub Cadet XTI. The problem is the company website said the mower had a K 46 TT tranny, which I think was correct for 2020 models. In 2021 they swapped it for a TL 200. Now i figured the K 46 was good fo my property and uses, the last on lasted 18 years with minimal care. Some inclines and hauling a yard trailer. I feel the TL 200 would be taxed. If I can get the k57 to work, will it bolt on in place of the tl200. Thanks for the input.

If your K46 lasted 18 years I would disassemble & inspect for worn out parts. Can you purchase & replace worn out parts? If not purchase new transaxle K46.
