Disassembly

1. Turn transaxle upside down and drain case through
case drain port.
Note: Model 751 has a filter located between valve
cover (A) and main housing (B). Refer to item 16, Figure
B–5 for reference.
2. Remove capscrews holding valve cover to case.
Remove the cover.
3. Remove and discard valve cover gasket.
NOTE: The gasket may have remained on the cover
when removed from housing assembly.
4. On model 750 discard the filter element and replace
before reassembly.
NOTE: After the transaxle is drained, it is easier to
remove the axle assemblies with the transaxle mounted
to a bench as shown. Before securing the transaxle in
this position, place a clean shop towel between the hous-
ing base surface and the work surface. This towel pro-
tects the base sealing surface from possible damage
during repositioning. Use a 6" to 8" C-clamp to secure
the transaxle to the bench. Be careful not to overtighten
the C-clamp when securing the transaxle.
NOTE: The following procedure is identical for both left
and right axle assemblies. Keep left axle parts and right
axle parts separate. (On the model 750 the left hand
side is marked "A" and the right hand side is marked "B")
