Sweet idea man thanks

What do you do if it won’t turn the weels

Good tip!

It can't get much simpler than that

You can do this with the unit running while on a stand. If the pump has failed as mine did, nothing will happen. Better than tearing the whole unit out and using a drill. I suppose you could do this at a salvage yard to test a used unit to see if it's good.

At a junkyard you can lift it up on bricks or something and spin the tires by hand to see if anything is broken or locked up

You'll have to sell it to me for some money and I'll lube it up then he'll start to move

Mine is like stuck in park. Apparently sitting overnight broke it.

Definitely a good way to test them but most of them only act up once they start warming up that's when they start slipping but with my experience with most repairs it's usually a stretched belt I'd have to say only one out of every ten is actually the transmission

So much for experience. If it is a shaft and not a belt the same non performance occurs on old transaxle. Try thicker oil

@@jobuilder1011 once i repair one of my other transaxle transmission i can dig into my other one to see what's causing it to slip in forward gear then doesn't want go forward it all once you come to a stop then go it slips bad but goes in reverse really good I believe its the gears and the pump inside the transmission if its even got a pump I'm not sure but it should have one in it I've changed the old oil out because of it slipping done it all correct and it continues to slip bad in forward gear I'm not gonna put $300.00 into buying a new pump for it or slightly worn gears i ain't gonna do that all use other parts off it for one of my other mowers

would work for mine too but when I make a sharp right turn going up a slight grade it cuts out completely or goes really slow

Mine did that because of a slightly stretched drive belt. I thought transmission was going out, but the belt fixed it.

My pump/motor assy is difficult to remove, but from all I can tell looks to be tight. I have only one thing left to look into is the axle release mechanism which is hidden up inside the pump. There was not a single piece of metal on the magnets. The only thing that was old was the oil. I was told it was a sealed axle. Well, It's NOT!

Brad Taylor Dang ! That's quite the "pickle". You learn something new every day. If the oil is old, maybe the whole thing needs a good cleaning. I think its worth to try.

Just because they move doesn't mean they are strong it still could have a week pump or motor you will not know 100% until it's under a load.

If the pump is good enough to move it under load forward can it be assumed the same for reverse if it passes this test?

didnt show how to engage forward and reverse

Wish I could see how it went into reverse.

What does this tell you that jacking up the mower and starting the engine wouldn't, other than your cordless drill works? There's easier ways to figure that out other than pulling the transaxle out of your mower. Put a t wrench in the drill and try holding it back while your buddy pulls the trigger......

Read what he said. IN a SALVAGE yard, when you come across a transmission just sitting there....

No load doesn't mean much

Wrong. When they warm up they quit pulling most of the time the pump is bad.
