Can aluminum case on cub that leaks oil be welded? I have no clue what is on the inside of garden tractor transaxle! Any plastic parts that could be harmed by heat?
Thanks

Led

You might try a clamp.One large enough to hold the crack tightly closed, or at least give it added strength when using liquid weld....

I will second the Jb weld as long as it not a high stress area. I have done the same thing in the past...Jim

Instead of welding, you may try some JB Weld or Liquid Solder. Never attempted this on a transaxle for a lawn/garden tractor, but it does work on automatic transmissions. Clean up the area as well as possible and wipe with some alcohol or brake cleaner. Then apply the JB Weld. Not saying it's the best fix, but it has worked for me a couple of times and it's a lot less time consuming than disassembling it to weld or replace the case.

Yes it can PROBABLY be welded but, you WILL have to disassemble it and do the welding on a bench. Yes there are probably plastic bushings and other parts inside that can melt. A tig welder is your best bet but, someone with a mig and the right set up should do ok with it. Good luck.
