jerrell 1 #1 Posted December 12, 2008 :D i have 5 mowers with hydro transmissions and would like to have one geared transmission. i keep reading posts about 3,4,6,8 speeds, some of the ones i have looked at in posts look as if they will just bolt right up without modification except maybe for the belt,. can this be done and what would be a good tramsmission for a 20 hp?/ :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 10,722 #2 Posted December 12, 2008 Yes, they will all bolt up. But, you'll need the correct clutch/brake linkages, and the right brake band for the tranny you use. Not hard to find items by any means. 3 or 4 speed means the same thing, just like 6 and 8 speeds. WH just gave them different names over the years. And the best one to use on that kind of hp, is one (4 or 8 speed) with 1 and 1/8th axles and an 8 pinion differential. 20hp is a bit of a load on anything less, particularly if you put it in a bind. Good luck, Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick 13 #5 Posted December 13, 2008 Jerrell, All the 5 bolt 12" wheels should be the same bolt pattern. Good luck finding one. :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwhman 2 #6 Posted December 13, 2008 Just remember that the 953, 1054, and 1054A models have a different transmission bolt up pattern. The top holes are closer together than the botttom ones. They can be adapted but be careful :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
