Dave Blindt says: I have a John Deere X 500 riding mower with a TUFF TORQ 72 b transaxle. It seems to have started on a turn for worse. It still works but I can tell something is not right with it. I was wondering if you had someone there who rebuilds them or if you knew someone you would trust to do the job. I live in Bristol Virginia so it’s no big deal to bring it to you and drop it off. Or is my only option to buy a new one? Thank you for your time.

Hello,
Oil for the K72 has two choices that I can recommend. Either the John Deere oil, J20D, or our own Tuff Tech oil. Part number for Tuff Tech is 187Q0899000 for a 3 liter bottle and you will need two of them.
Rick says: I have a 2015 Simplicity tractor with a K72h unit. Is there only one fill spot for both chambers?

Hello,
For the K72; both chambers, gear and hydro, do connect under the sealing cap. Filling the external reservoir will technically fill both chambers. However, it can take a while to get the fluid to flow past the magnet, especially if it is cool and the oil is thick. You may be better off popping the sealing cap and pouring the oil directly into the gear chamber. that would be the faster way. to get the gear chamber full.
