HI
Thanks for k62af model I was told by cub cadet k62a no idea what differance is
Although being a plumber all my life and a son who was a mechanic no longer living I have done many jobs were a spring or ball bearing jumps out dissapears and no idea were it came from, and at 82 my abbility is not as good as it was and this looks like one of those jobs , so was hoping for a tech locally to work on it

Having successfully done a couple Tuff-Torqs and Hydro-Gears here's what I can tell you from experience:

Unless you are 110% certain that you can do the job, don't even think about it.
It requires that you be totally prepared and unbelievably meticulous in what you do.
I watched dozens of videos and read other peoples posts who did repairs, and I took dozens of step-by-step photos as I disassembled.
Would I do it again? Yeah, because of the obvious "the more you do it".

But here's the kicker, even if you could find someone that would do it for free, the cost
of new internal parts for these things is WAY beyond what you may imagining your final bill might be,
and of course you won't know what you need until it's disasembled.

Wish I could give you better news, but them's the facts.

HI
I see on ebay techs charging $100 plus parts plus shhipping.
A full kit from mulligans is approx $400 so I expect to pay approx $600 total still a lot cheaper than a new box.
Another way could be a dealer who does exchange units but still looking for one

A New K62AF is about $1,704.16

By the transmission serial number you gave, it is a K62AF.

HI
After the terific response to get a tech I seem to be having at the tender age of 82 to take on a new learning curve.
So I have added a video that I made for my brother in law a heavy goods mechanic in UK for his help.
Also now gear box in bits three broken springs so any expert know why this would happen.
Many years ago I worked as a building inspector and the boss had a rara meeting every morning, I can now hear the oldest inspector saying Dennis my head is full I have no more room Iwill answer the phone whilst you have your meeting.
My head is also now full.

HI
Next stage for a wanna be technition, getting bits.
You can see Mulligan's cheapest at $430 next SLE at $470 next EBAY at $495 and $499.
Called Mulligan's Wednesday was told to leave a message indicating what required and I would receive call back, Thurs, Fri, no call back rang again same message decided to call SLE Fri night also got message that I would get a call back, ten minutes did get a call but kit not in stock, so off to Ebay purchased for $499 waiting arrival.
Now five days later Monday still no call back from Mulligan's.
