Your part number cannot be correct. You stated you had the Sundstrand hydro. They part number you gave is for a Hydro Gear hydro transmission. Hydro Gear didn't even make hydro's for Cub Cadet in the 1320 era. Plus, they are in direct competition with Sundstrand, so the parts wouldn't be mixed. Plus, that number doesn't even come up in the system. I think the issue is, you don't really know what it is you need. Or at the very least, where to get the right part number.
Go here, and give me the call-out number (not the part number) of the part you have that is failed:

I want to point out one more thing.... you keep talking about this "sealed" or "non serviceable" transmission going dry as the cause of the tractors failure. Oil and grease don't just disappear into thin air. They don't evaporate. They leak out. There had to be a leak if it lost all the lube. Had to be. Either that, or it didn't get lube in it the last time it was worked on, or missed it in the factory. If you see a leak, it needs attention. If you missed it, you missed it, but it isn't the transmissions fault. |
I would bet a dollar to a donut that he is talking about part #'s 27 (AF-44078) and 54 (AF-44079) respectively. I did some searching and they were obsolete but are now made by and available from Hydro-Gear as HG-44078 and HG 44079, however through Hydro-gear they want you arm, leg, and first born son. I was able to find those two parts elsewhere reasonably but not at the same place. Here are links....

Now if it was me, and I could get the parts reasonably I would rebuild my transmission because then I would know what I've got. On the issue of the case being dry, I can't say for certain but I think it is packed with grease not oil. Therefore you won't see the grease until you open it up. What I have done on several gear transmissions that I repaired was to drill and tap the case in a couple places and install zerk grease fittings. Give it a couple of pumps of grease every now and then, no more problems. My
