The transaxle of my garden tractor blew up. The aluminium casing brake and I can see the gears. I need to replace it but I am not sure if there are other options. The tractor is Model number 917.2575561 Serial number 060194C 004553. I am searching for a replacement, but I have started to wonder if I have other options. Is it possible to swap another transaxle?

I agree with hirschallan. If the problem is just a hole then there is a product called Devcon that is widely available that will do the trick. They have many different products but you are looking for is their aluminium putty. here's a link (no I don't work for them)

I've seen the local OPE repair guy use it to fill a 2 inch hole in a Tecumseh block.

Cheers
