Nope. Same.
All I've ever had to change the seal wasn't hard. By all theory, that trans shouldn't ever be able to run hot enough to cook a seal. That would be over 200°.
My best guess is that the LH side is more protected having all that linkage in front of it. I would also be willing to bet that if I would disassemble the hydro and change the bearing it would stop the issue..... but that's just a guess. |
Jonathan,
I find that interesting, as you say only 1 pin shown per shaft in the parts look up on parts tree, and the same thing in the service manuals listed here on our site for both the QL and the 82 series,-- but also, they say
" note: there are two pins used in the control side". and go on to describe how to drive them out carefully, not too far.
I can tell you I removed 2 pins from the control side a couple of days ago on the 1650 hydro and re installed 2 pins on that side and one pin on the other side.
Confusing to say the least!
Bottom line I would say better two than one since they specifically make mention of two even though they omitted one in the diagram.
Interesting also, while looking up parts for the hydro on JDparts they showed both pins on the control shaft, so it goes, always muddy waters somewhere.
FWIW:
Somebody is gonna ask why I go to my local green dealer for parts,---
because I have an account there, there don't charge shipping on stock orders, they get me most anything I need, and besides competitively priced, they are 5 miles up the road, works for me.
