Answer
Sorry Creed, the model number you gave me isn't a good number.

If the drive train is gear drive you don't need to worry. The trans is filled with grease and is non-servicible.

If the drive train is hydrostatic it is also non servicible.

FYI... you can't fix squat on an MTD without removing sheet metal.

Check that model number and get back to me.
