So my little modified lawn tractor is on its second transmission. I bought the replacement about 250 hours ago and it was another K58, which is like their top end lawn tractor trans but not really meant for what I've been doing with it.
Well I wore it out again and a rebuild kit was like $300. I spent $450 to buy the previous replacement.
I'm out blowing leaves and am pissed because I can usually use the tractor and plow to push the leaf piles into the woods instead of picking them up. So I search for a new transmission, just wondering how much it would cost. First result is a brand new K66 - a real garden tractor trans, for $430 shipped.
When I bought the one I just wore out, those were going for $1600.
So hopefully there's no catch to it and I'll get it in a few days and be able to drop it right in and start pushing shit around the yard again.
Everything's coming up WootFatigue!
