Snapper transmission
Question   QUESTION: PN:7016726 TRANSMISSION, Hydro (HG BDU-105-120)
Snapper LT14H411KV
I had a bearing failure in the hydro and I replaced it. But in the process of tear down I had some parts fall out so I did not see proper placement for assembly. Where can I get an exploded view of this hydro? And I might need one of the shafts, Where can I get them?

ANSWER: Hello Randal:

The HG Stands for Hydro-Gear (the OEM). The Hydro Model should be a BDU-10S-120. I Will Call my Snapper Contact and Verify this Model Number. It May be that Snapper has Substituted the Letter S for a Number 5 in their Breakdowns. You can View the Breakdown at this Site Addy; http://www.ordertree.com/cms/parts-lookup-help/73.html and Select the Manufacturer (Hydro-Gear). Then Select your Model Hydro (BDU-10S-120). Then Select View Parts Manual PDF. If for some Reason this is Not your Hydro, let me know. If Hydro Gear says the Actual Hydro Model is a BDU-105-120, then I will have them Give me the Proper Site Addy and Direction to get you to the Proper Breakdown. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John

QUESTION: THe Hydro Gear looks very close to mine but there are some differences. I have a Sauer Sunstrand with the same model number. So I need to see an exploded view of Sauer Sunstrand.

ANSWER: Hello Again Randal:

I Do Not have a Site Addy for the Sauer-Sunstrand Transmission. I will Research this and try to Locate a Site Addy or a Breakdown that I can Send to you. Contact me Again about this in 72 Hours.

Answer   Hi Again Randy:

I am Waiting to Hear from Several Companies that Sell the Sauer-Sunstrand Brand. They Promised a Response by 7/21/08. Thanks for Getting Back to me. I have Not been Able to Locate your E-Mail in the Archives.

Answer
There are only two people I know who have Saure Sunstrand information.  They both work for Toro.  Ones name is Ed Cole and the other is Ron Nelson.  They know the name of the guy that rebuilds these old hydros.

I suggest sending a short e-mail to both firstname.lastname@toro.com.  Do not go on and on just ask for the name of the company that rebuilds sauer sundstrand hydros.  The libarey person that has exploded views is him or the original IPL from the equipment manufacturer.  Have you tried Snappers site with the model number and serial number of the piece of equipment.  They have a fairly good liberty of original IPL's and owners manuals.  Hope this helps.
