Bob Bauer 27 #1 Posted January 13, 2024 Hey guys I have a 1974 wheel horse d160 with the hydrostatic transmission that’s leaking by the gasket that I have to replace.Has anyone ever split one and how difficult is it and which side has to be up? I did my 702 and was a piece of cake but worried about this one. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,766 #2 Posted January 13, 2024 Presuming you mean the gearbox gasket, that is a major teardown. Have you FIRST tried to tighten the bolts holding the two trans cases together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you FIRST tried to tighten the bolts holding the two trans cases together? No I’m not going to take it apart for a couple months yet but just trying to plan ahead a little bit. I was hoping to attempt it myself if I had to but by your answer I won’t be doing that.hopefully I’ll get lucky with tightening the bolts.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
