[QUOTE="pb2624, post: 2774169, member: 6450"] I would recommend taking the rear fender pan off (6 maybe 8 bolt) and pressure washing the transaxle as the top cooling fins are a magnet for dirt and grass clippings, also check the make sure the cooling fan is not stripped out or missing any blades. I change my trans axle fluid every spring when I give the machines get their major service for the year and have never hand any issues. FYI, changing the fluid in the K46 requires you removing the transaxle from the tractor and flipping over and draining it out through the top. Lots of fun. I have heard that that somebody drilled and tapped the bottom one to make it somewhat more serviceable but I can't locate the thread at the moment. [/QUOTE]
