Complete Disassembly
The following procedures describe complete disassembly of the Transaxle Series
dures cover the basic unit only. However, procedures
for units with options such as the differential lock/
parking brake are still basically the same.
The level of cleanliness maintained while repairing
the transaxle could affect its performance. Work in a
clean area. After disassembly, wash
clean solvent and blow the parts dry with air. Inspect

all mating surfaces. Replace any damaged parts
that could cause internal leakage. Do not use grit
paper, files or grinders on finished parts.
Our service policy is to replace all seals and gaskets
whenever a transaxle is disassembled. Lubricate the
new seals with petroleum jelly before installation.
Use only clean, recommended hydraulic fluid on the
finished surfaces at reassembly.

It is easier to disassemble the axle assemblies
with the transaxle as shown. Before securing the
transaxle in this position, place a clean towel
between the valve cover surface and the work

Rotor Assemblies-Disassembly and
Inspection
46 Inspect the rotor assemblies in the following
manner. Remove the piston balls from the rotor, one

in the rotor face. Place the piston balls in a container
such as an egg carton or ice cube tray. The balls
must be replaced in the same bores from which they
were removed because they are all select fit.

Reassembly
57 Before reassembling the Transaxle Series
clean all parts and assemblies with clean solvent
and blow them dry with compressed air. Inspect and
replace all scratched or damaged parts. Replace all
gaskets, shaft seals and O-rings. Lubricate all shaft
seals and O-rings with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) for
retention during assembly. Freely lubricate all
bearings and finished part surfaces with clean
hydraulic fluid to provide lubrication at start-up.
Housing
58 Position the housing assembly on its side.
Lubricate and install the brake shaft seal with the
seal lip pointing away from the housing. Press or
drive the seal into the counterbore.
59 Turn the housing assembly over and repeat the
same procedure for the other brake shaft seal.
60 Lubricate and install the O-ring in the groove
located in the dump valve bracket.
61 Install the spring on the dump valve bracket with
the right angle bend of the spring pointing inward.
62 With the housing assembly in an upright
position, install the spring and dump valve bracket in
the housing assembly. The spring is properly
installed when the longest leg points toward the
check valve assembly.
63 Lubricate and install the O-ring around the
dump valve nut.
64 Install the nut over the dump valve bracket, into
the housing assembly, making sure you do not
damage the dump valve O-ring during installation.
Torque the dump valve nut to

75 Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the
buttons for retention during assembly. Install the
buttons in the cover assembly.
76 Install the cover assembly by carefully aligning
it with the control shaft, cam ring pivot dowel and
pump rotor drive.
77 After engaging the control shaft and pivot dowel
in the cover assembly, carefully rotate the input shaft
to engage the pump rotor drive. When all mating
parts are aligned and engaged, the cover assembly
should fall into position on the housing assembly.

79 Before installing the parking brake assembly,
make sure the brake is in the unlocked position.
Note: On transaxles with the differential Iock/parking
brake option, do not move the lever unnecessarily,
especially when it is out of the housing assembly.
The differential lock/parking brake assembly incor-
porates automatic self-adjusting brakes. Unnecessary activation of the lever may cause the brake to
expand and make installation of the assembly very
difficult.
Install the parking brake assembly in the housing
assembly, aligning it with the four notches cast in the
housing assembly.
Note: Make sure the parking brake handle is
pointing
or
leaning towards the cover side of the
housing assembly.
80 To ensure correct installation of the axle
14
housings in the housing assembly, the housing and
axle assemblies are marked with an
A
and
B.
The B
side of the transaxle must be assembled first.
There are two different brake
or
differential shaft
lengths that are used in the axle housing assemblies. The shorter shaft is always used in the
housing, regardless of whether the parking brake
A
axle
or
differential lock option is used. The longer shaft is
always used in the B axle housing assembly.
Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the brake
shaft seal. Carefully install the longer of the two
brake shafts in the
B
side of the housing assembly.
Note: Make sure the brake shaft seal is not
damaged during installation.
81 The next step is to engage the brake shaft with
the parking brake. To align and engage the splines,
hold the parking brake disk with one hand and then
rotate the brake shaft slightly with the other hand.
82 Reposition the housing assembly and carefully
install the motor rotor assembly on the motor journal,
into the housing assembly.
Note:
If
a rubber band was used to retain the ball
pistons, remove it now.
83 The first sun gear is longer than the second sun
gear. Install the smaller end of the first sun gear into
the motor rotor assembly.
84 Install the two dowel pins and the first of three
identical gaskets on the B side of the housing
assembly.
85 Install the wear plate, bowed side toward the
motor rotor assembly, aligning it with the two dowels.
86 Install the second of three gaskets on the wear
plate, aligning
it
with the dowels.
87 Install the ring gear assembly on the housing

with the brake shaft and
dowels.
Caution: The two ring gear assemblies are
identical and can be installed on either side of
the housing assembly. However, when installing
the ring gear assembly, the side with the bearing
must face the axle housing assembly.
88 Lubricate and assemble the three planetary
gears on the primary carrier assembly.
89 Install the primary carrier assembly into the ring
gear assembly by aligning and engaging it with the
previously installed sun gear.
90 Install the second sun gear in the primary
carrier assembly.
91 Lubricate and assemble the three planetary
gears on the secondary carrier assembly.
92 Install the secondary carrier, aligning and
engaging the three planetary gears with the ring
gear assembly and second sun gear.
93 Install the brake gear on the brake shaft.
94 Two different spacer thicknesses are used in
the axle housing assemblies. On transaxles with
parking brakes, the thicker spacer is used in the
A
axle assembly and the thinner spacer is used in the
B axle assembly.
On transaxles with the differential lock/parking brake
option, the A axle housing assembly uses two thin
thrust washers and a thrust bearing to replace the
thick spacer. The
B
axle housing assembly always
uses the thinner spacer, regardless of whether the
parking brake
or
differential lock/parking brake
option is used.

For retention during assembly, apply a small amount
of petroleum jelly to the thin spacer. Install the
spacer on the brake shaft and brake gear.

Fluid Recommendations
A reputable supplier can help you make the best
selection of hydraulic fluid for use in Eaton hydrostatic products.
For satisfactory operation, the following recommen-
dations apply:
1.
The filter system used in the hydraulic circuit
should be capable
the hydraulic fluid to meet
18/13 per SAE J1165. This code allows a
maximum of 2500 particles per milliliter greater
than
5µm
and a maximum of 80 particles per
milliliter greater than 15µm.
2.
At normal operating temperatures, optimum
viscosity ranges are from 80-180
Viscosity should never fall below 60
and, at the lowest expected start-up temperature,
should not exceed
3.
The fluid should be chemically stable, incorporating rust and oxidation inhibitors.
Specific types of fluid meeting these requirements
are:
Premium hydraulic oil; such as Mobil DTE-26
Engine crankcase oil-SAE 2Ow-20, SAE 30 or
40
SAE
Note:
milky, it is possible that a water contaminant problem
exists.
For accurate level readings, take readings when the
fluid is cold.
