Service Manual

12 Tuff Torq Model K61A Hydrostatic TransaxleTransaxle Disassembly and Inspection
Note: If servicing a transaxle with low to moderate use, it
is not necessary to disassemble or remove any of the
levers or linkages from the upper case, unless a part is
damaged or there is an oil leak. If doing a complete
rebuild, all shafts should be removed, inspected, and
packings (o-rings) replaced. If leaving the shafts in place,
avoid excessive use of cleaning solvent on the upper
case half, and do not use solvent that will damage the
packings.
Detach the torsion spring from the control shaft.
