DaveLinCT 3 #1 Posted December 27, 2013 My friend has a 518-H, Model No. 31-18OE01. The Eaton 700-015 hydraulic transmission is bad. What are his options on getting it repaired? I have read that these transmissions are not easily repaired. Can it be swapped out for an Eaton 1000 from the 520-H series or even a manual 8 speed? He will not be doing the work. He would have a local small engine repair shop do the work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,145 #2 Posted December 27, 2013 Either swap wouldn't be too terrible if your friend could find a donor machine with all needed parts. (The Eaton 1100 can be found in many models other than the 520) Unfortunately...... Buying a parts tractor and paying someone else to do the swap might be equivalent to the purchase price of another complete working tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorekiwi 761 #4 Posted December 28, 2013 ^^^^^ What they said. The swap of either unit is easy, it all bolts in. But there are quite a few bits and bobs that need to be swapped in addition to the trans, and you are unlikely to have them unless the donor tractor is sitting there.

Kelly 1,029 #5 Posted January 2, 2014 I have sold people the parts to do the swaps like this, the last 2 times I sold them a rolling chassis, so they had every part, nut and clip and knew where the hoses are routed ect..... then when they where done I get all unused parts in return including the bad trans, so far they all have been happy that way, last guy said he would have been lost if I handed him a pile of parts, this way it was laied out in front of him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
