Servicing the right and hydrostatic transmission (Pictures re-uploaded 10/28/18)
EDIT (10/29/2018): All the pictures were recovered and re-uploaded onto SBF site, enjoy.
This thread is for general discussion concerning the right transmission and the hydrostatic transmission found on most track/wheel assisted HS series snow blowers. Someone correct me if I am wrong but the right transmission might only be for the track assisted machines.
Current condition of the right/final gear transmission. While overhauling the blower I noticed the rubber seal, part#15 in the illustration below, had perished. I suspected it let dirt in the casing, which was later affirmed when I opened the case.
- Notice the contaminated grease.
- Bearings are fine.
- Can anyone point out what type of grease Honda has used in the gear case?
- I intend on replacing the grease.
- Change part #14
- Install new gasket, part #2.
