Transmission Identification; Transmission Maintenance - Briggs & Stratton Prestige 1800 Series Operator's Manual

Transmission Identification

Several service procedures within this book are identified
by, and vary by, transmission type. To determine what
transmission is in your tractor, check the identification
tag attached to the axle of the transmission (Figure 31a),
or check your tractor's parts book.

Transmission Maintenance

Do not allow dirt, water, or other debris to
enter the expansion chamber or
transmission. Even a small amount of dirt
can damage the transmission
K66 Maintenance
The K66 is a sealed unit and does not require regular
maintenance. The transmission oil level can be checked
at the access hole located behind the left rear wheel (see
Figure 31b). Shine a light at the back of the expansion
chamber to see the oil level. There should be approxi-
mately 7/16" (1 cm) of oil in the chamber. If there is no
oil in the chamber, see your dealer.
