craftsman kohler command

Mike	my dad tried to take off the tire to repair a flat,he beat on it to get it to come off and in doing so the axel came out with the tire still attached.lol im still laughing. But i put it back in and im still able to remove the axel with just my hand.can you help............... Thanks
rcbe	most likely will take some serious shadetree mechanicing to repair that prob. Get the full model number off the tractor's I.D. Plate - go to the Sears parts website and look at the transaxle parts detail. You then should be able to make a decision about how/who will repair what. Those axles are usually held in with a snap ring or such - often hafta disasemble the axle housing to re-install...
Joe	Here's where the laughing stops & the serious/expensive work begins,Clean oil/grease off end of shaft that goes into trans,probably within a 1/2" of end you'll find a groove cut around shaft,there used to be a snap,C or E ring in this groove,pounding on tire/rim caused ring to break or jump off shaft,also on shaft ahead of ring groove you'll find either a spline or flat(s) cut into shaft that connect a bevel/drive gear to same,gear may/may not have dropped out of position inside transaxle,to repair transaxle will have to be removed from tractor,case opened up & gear/snap ring reinstalled on axle shaft,if no assembly drawings in owners manual,depending on make/type trans goto www.searspartsdirect.com,enter tractor model,see if any assembly drawings for trans online,if not,try to find out mfg/mod# of transaxle,then search online or ebay for a repair manual OR look for a good used trans on ebay,take to sears,local mower shop for repair.
