Hustler won't turn left

[brushcutter]

ok finally got to take out the T-20 today.looks like I will be ordering a new drum one is wore really bad almost a 1/4 inch taken off on the inside and gonna have to have all bands relined and maybe one replaced. There was gear oil in it too. So if anyone has a few parts they wanna get rid of let me know. Or if they know a good place to find some!

DANG! you gotta hate that gear oil... I don't know just how long it takes for it to kill the bands or if anyone has ever managed to save one that had the stuff put in it. The drums can be costly, hopefully someone has a spare or 2 to get you going.The trouble is that when people don't know better and buy a machine that has G.O. in the trans, they most times will put the same back in it when they service it. Lucky are those who find this site and READ all available material and ask questions before servicing.

ok i just got ahold of tranny crafters and sending them my bands for relining! they said they will try to have them back by Friday! (I only live 120 miles from them Now i just need to find a drum so maybe i can be ridding this weekend. Anyone have any idea where to find one or maybe got one on the self u want to sell?

Unless someone has a drum for sale on here ri is where you can buy a new one bit they are pricey. I read someone had a piece welded around an old drum and had it turned down to size by a machine shop. Maybe something to consider.

Ok i just ordered a new drum ($150)and seal kit ($60)from Recreatives now i just wait for everything to arrive! I sure hope some of u guys are online when i go to put it back together. should be around Friday for the rebuild.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAS... ARE YOU KIDDIN ME!!! that ain't bad at all. If I remember rightly(and I'm pretty good about remembering this sort of thing) R C wanted twice that for a used one when I was rebuilding my 950 and that was back in 2008, imagine what inflation has done for that price! Just another reason to avoid rr's!

well recreations actually charge 250 for a new one but they have 3 (well 2 now) that are brand new with a minor flaw in them that they are letting go for 150. they assured me i would have no problem out of the minor machine made flaw, and RC does still want twice that for a used one lol,

ok just a little update. My parts have been in but i have been out of town for work. Just got home late last night so will be putting the T-20 back together today. Hope i can get everything back where it is suppose to be lol

[tacg]

ok i have been cleaning the tranny thoroughly and i noticed the other ring gear drum (not the new one) has pits in it on the outer edge do i need to have it turned down? They are not deep but they are all the way around.

here is a picture of the drum in question.

Your link doesn't work....but generally, if you run your fingernail across it and it is smooth, it should be fine.
