perry Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 i have a question about the limted slip bolts on the rearend hub. acording to the manual it says the traction control section is NOT applicable to the landlord 2010 or 2012. well, my 2010 has the 2 bolts in the hub. does this mean i have the traction control or not??.

rjgoth Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I wouldnt call it traction control, but rather what you are refering to is called a 'limited-slip' hub. The way it works is that when you say turn right, the inside or right wheel actually rotates slower than the outside or left wheel. The reason this is desiriable is that it makes it easier to turn the tractor, and will turn it in a smaller radius. It also saves your lawn from potentially being torn up. If you had a solid rear axle and you were to turn to the right, then both wheels would rotate at the same speed and the inside wheel would want to spin and thus dig up or put ruts in your lawn in each place that you turn.

perry Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 what i mean is, why does the manual say the 2010 does not have the limited slip. when my 2010 has it on it???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippoVarga Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 pull the two bolts out and see if there are nylon plugs behind the bolts. It's these nylon plugs that put pressure on the planetary assembly behind the right hub effectively giving you the limited slip. If there are no nylon plugs then there is no traction adjustment. If there is nylon plugs then it's possible your rearend is a replacement from stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short story...the manual is wrong. It's not the first time for errors in Simplicity manuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWGAllisfan Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Are those nylon plugs and the set bolts still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubbardRA Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Randy, I don't know about the pads, but the set bolts are nothing more than lug bolts same as the ones on the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippoVarga Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 152042 is the nylon plug number. Not sure if they are still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
