Cub cadet m50s hydro gear trans

[grimlock]

My left trans in my zero turn m50s tank went out on me . I removed the trans and can find a model number or anything that tells me what one it is so I can find parts . pretty sure it痴 ｴ a zt2800 but not sure model . I attatched pics of the numbers I found on the outside of the unit .

Hydrogear tag should of been on the read lower half of the axle tube. Sometimes you can use the model number to come up with the model of the hydro drive units. What is the actual model number from under the seat.

My tractor is a cub cadet m50s tank . 53bb5bbp750. I sent pics to hydro gear and they are saying it’s a 3100 . It’s been rebuilt before so I’m guessing it’s not the original trans.

Have the same mower. My ID tags are on the axle stub casting just beside the oil filters. Never had an issue with mine other than a leaking charge pump 'O' ring which I replaced. Almost 1000 hours on the unit. I do change my oil every 2 years and filters too. Hydro-Gear sells (on Amazon) an oil change kit with oil and filters and an adapter that makes filling easy. I recommend changing the oil and filters every 2 years at least. Nice thing about Hydro-Gear IZT transmissions is they take regular multi-grade motor oil (in my case 15-40) so no expensive fluid needed.

Good mower, actually has grease fittings.

Looks like the 2005 and before used one of two different hydrogear units both with the same CC part number. the 2006 and after just used one hydrogear part number.

So there’s no way to get a new center section? The one transaxle is stamped with a “May 2013” does that mean the manufacture date ? Is it already outdated ? Would there be anyway to get a new center section from a newer model to work in mine.

I have to ask, what puked?

 

[grimlock]

The center section from what I can tell . Surface has grooves in it . Everything else looked good.

I went and looked at the schematics for the 3 drive units that I can up with earlier, and all three take different center sections. Also if you find any grooves on the charge pump. charge pump cover, the pump or the motor section that you can catch a fingernail in when scratched across the surface they are toast also and have to be replaced. Two of the three are no longer available. I suspect that you have the 71563 center section which list at $206

In talking with a guy from hydro gear he recommended 71566.... do think that’s a viable option . He things the case I have is newer but the internal components are old . The center section he recommended has a filter and the one I took out doesnt . Not sure what to think of that. The part you sent me looks more like what I have .
