Topic

thanks guys - I picked it up from the dealer and did the teardown myself. The dealer reached out to MTD and he relayed MTDs reluctance to try to help me out because I'm not the orig owner of the machine :( Turns out there are six grade 5 bolts holding the differential planetary gears and four had backed out (no loc-tite or torqued correctly?). The hub locking mechanism was banged up pretty good too. Replaced all the parts with Cub Cadet parts and put it all back together (with grade 8, loc-tite, and a torque wrench). Cost about $350 + 2.5days with about half of that for 5gals the $37/gal drive fluid. I appreciate the attorney comments - but in this situation I figured I could have it fixed by the time the attorney gave a recommendation. The trans isn't that complicated once you get it out.
