John Deere Tuff Torq K46 Fail and Fix | Tear down and Seal replace

Last year I thought that I had fixed my John Deere x300 Mower by changing the oil in the Tuff Torq k46 Transmission. But I was wrong! I did not pay enough attention to the axle seals which were leaking. So the new oil drained out in a few weeks and I had an inoperable mower again. So I bit the bullet and tore the thing apart and replaced the seals and put in new oil. Not easy but it was satisfying to do. BUT, I made a big mistake at the end of the reassembly that would return to haunt me. You will have to watch Part Two of this project to see what I had to do to fix the mistake.
