I've got about 75 hours on my Husqvarna, equipped with the "Dreaded K46 Transmission".I'm aware that regular oil changes in these units is a,good way to make them more reliable and longer lasting. Then, I find out that some bean counter at Husqvarna decided to,save a few cents per unit by deleting the drain plugs. I also see that Tuff Torq sells a kit to add drain plugs to these units. I feel confident in drilling/tapping the drain holes. Getting to the fill hole to refill the box seems easy enough without removing the axle. I would like to determine if its a good idea to drill and tap these small holes without pulling the axle and splitting the cases. I would be able to do an oil change a lot easier than removing the axle and flipping it over to drain it.
Any ideas, or comments on this (probably wacky) idea?
