[squatch]

1st drive on my super I caught a stick that came up and broke the driveshaft fan. So instead of lifting the engine for the umpteenth time I figured I would drop the transaxle instead and fix an oil leak at the same time. The axle is about the only thing I haven't removed yet. I did this over the weekend. The cork gasket between the pump and the axle was leaking. Pretty straight forward fix. Just dropped the axle and cleaned everything replaced the gasket. I pulled the driveshaft and replaced the fan and installed new stainless steel nyloc nuts on the rag joint couplings. I had replaced the rag joints when I replaced the engine but probably had the nuts a little too tight. This also gave me the excuse to change the tranny oil again. I replaced it a couple of months ago but don't think it has been changed in a while before I got the tractor. I consider that first change a flush.
I did have a little trouble getting the left pedal and the drive lever coordinated before this tranny service. The drive lever was easy but the tractor wanted to go reverse instead of neutral when left pedal pushed. Is this adjusted by sliding the bracket up or down on the trans case. I tried tightening and loosening the linkage to the pedal without much effect. Any advice on this adjustment is welcome. That is the only job left from this weekend that hasn't been done yet. Hopefully this evening. Then I can reassemble the new deck and get to mowing if this rain ever stops.
I almost forgot whiile I had everything apart I tapped the tunnel cover screw holes for 1/4" bolts as suggested in another thread. Sorry no pics on this job.
