I sent am email to the Tuff Torq people to see if they can advise, but if anyone here knows, feel free to jump in. When I then checked the Tuff Torq site again, the first transmission that they list as having 1' axles is the k58. When I measured the axles on my X300 using a micrometer, they are exactly 1' diameter. According to Tuff Torq, the axles on the k46 are 3/4' diameter. Having said that, I went to the Tuff Torq site and looked at the specs for the k46. It's a great tractor, but I was possibly misled as to its ability to do yard work, as it has (according to the JD specs) a k46 transmission.

This January I bought a John Deere X300 with all of the toys - 44' snowblower, weights, chains, mulching kit, full winter cab and bra. Hello, I am new to the forum, so please bear with me. I went to the Tuff Torq site and they recomend 5W50 synthetic oil in place of the 10W30 now. The upper rotary pump (the one driven by the pully shaft ) is very hard to reasemble. I don't recomend disasembling the pump housing at all. You might have to do what I did and give it a good cleaning out. I am writing this to let folks know that sometimes just changine the oil may not be enough. I got my tranny all put back together now and am waiting for a new sealer cap and vent. If anyone takes they'rs apart like I did be very carefull not to lose them. There are two small steel balls inside that are really easy to lose. I found out also that it has TWO magnets and a small filter inside. Especialy the one driven by the pully shaft on top of the tranny. The hydraulic pumps inside are a devil to reasemble. Everything went well untill I started to put it back together. I decided to take my transmission apart and clean it out real good. When I pulled out the sealer cap and the removed the magnet I found gritty sludge stuck to the magnet. After doing a little searching on the internet I found that I needed to change the oil in it. I was having a lot of trouble with my lawn tractor losing power. This is the right tractor for me and my property needs and should hopefully last for many years to come. I sold it after purchasing a used 2002 Toro Wheel Horse 522xi garden tractor. I actually sold it for about $ 300.00 less than what I paid for it new, although I did add a few bells & whistles - wheel weights, steering wheel spinner, front bumper and a mulch kit w/gator blades. The tractor was a great lawn cutter and would have probably worked well for a long time on a flat property. I'm not slamming any particular product here and am just reporting what I experienced. I believe this was beyond the engineered limits of this machine and would have eventually led to a premature death in the form of a tranny failure. on my 1.5 acre property began to take its toll. I have some hilly areas and I think that pulling my loaded yard cart, weighted aerator, etc. My '06 Craftsman YS4500 with the K46 tranny really started to get loud and I noticed it was beginning to slow down. Thought I'd post a follow-up after over a year and some months.
