414-8 Gear Oil, Shift Boot and Low Range Questions
DDK319 posted a topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Hi All, I have a 414-8, 80's model (no Toro stickers, not sure of the exact year). When I bought it about a year ago, it had been sitting for quite a while, and went into and out of low range no problem to get it into the truck. However, since I got it home, I have been unable to get it into low range. This is a bit of a pain when using it to snowblow, so I'd like to fix that issue this summer. The mower deck is currently at the welder getting rot repaired, so I decided now is the time. Since the gear oil looks rough anyway I figure the first step is a flush (or two) and some new fluid. Also a new shift boot (mine is split). With the backstory out of the way, on to my questions: 1) What is the correct weight and quantity of gear oil? I plan to flush with 2 quarts of diesel. I have seen 80/90 gear oil and 90/140 gear oil suggested. It's been mid 90's the past few days, but I snowblow with it also. I can swap for winter if I need to. 2 Any easy way to verify my year by serial number? A search found some links to serial number lookups, but the links I found were dead. Hopefully once I have a year I can find parts diagrams and breakdowns. 3) Anyone know the part number for the shifter boot? I'd like to get that on order ASAP. Thanks! Dan
