Very helpful video after disassembling a Spicer transaxle. I will be saving these for later!

While he showed the gears going on the first shaft he didn't show the ring clip being put on before the first gear. And you'll need to put them on with the flat side facing out and that's a must. The grooved side of each gear goes out not in like he showed it being done. So he had a problem after it was reassembled. Other than than it was a fairly good assembly. Oh and another thing is if you go to an oil filled case it will leak. Your best bet is to stay with a grease filled case and just add you some grease fittings on the case. If I can add a picture I will to show a good placement and size of drill bit and fitting.

Looked at all the parts of this and did not see anything about cleaning, or oil used to refill. did I miss a section?

I have re-built plenty of these and you DON'T want to convert them to oil filled...Use grease like it was intended or the gears will wear twice as fast.

I also cut my finger where the shift key slides

It was a pain in the ass to get the axles and spider and ring gears go in

Are you assembling those gears with the smooth side facing in or out? Mine is apart and I can't remember which way the gears came out. Thanks!

How did you clean out the old grease?
@mrbubetube 4 years ago

how do you like this transmission? Is it still being made anymore? Seems like every lawn tractor is hydrostatic now, even the rear engine riders.

how did you remove the grease out of the transmission?

You didn't explain which way the concave spacer washer face

These Spicer transaxles are on a lot of lawn tractors, but I can't find parts anywhere. I'm looking for shifter keys for a Spicer 4360-86. I think shifter keys from other 4360 will work. Anyone know of a vendor who may be selling these?

I am having a super hard time with the keyed half moon piece found in the brake disk. I can't get it to go in. It looks just slightly to large to fit. Does anyone know how to put that back in?
