leaking red fluid
Hi... my 2006 or 2007 9HP/27" Craftsman Snow King (Tecumseh engine) has developed a bity of a leak. It's a hydrostatic tranny and it seems very slow to engage both forward and reverse.... after warming up a bit it works OK but I'm concerned about lack of oil in the tranny. I can't see any plugs or places to 'top it off'... it must be a sealed unit. It doesn't drip anymore... I think I lost a few ounces (noticed on the plastic liner I park it on)... the model is 944.524490 (bought from Sears Canada). Unfortunately I misplaced the manual after moving :-(( and probably doubt it would have much info on a 'non-serviceable' item...if that's the case. I'm wondering if it can be a seal where the axle enters the transmission casing... I don't see any evidence of oil around those ares but it may be close to empty now. Any suggestions would be welcome and if do come across a manual I will scan and post it for others. Even another model (if it has the same tranny) would be helpful. thanks.... DG

Could be a seal and it only drips in the summer when you could care less about snow. also might be a gasket where the 2 halfs are slapped together and that also leaks when you are not watching it. you do not want to run those puppies dry that is 4 sure. better get down and dirty on the floor and do some detective work on that puppy. anyhoo ALOHA from the paradise city.








Long LIVE THE POWERSHIFT!! MAY IT NEVER RUST IN PEACE!!
