Question:
4-year old HU600L walk behind mower. Putting in new transmission. Parts list calls for 434564 but mfr/dealer parts info says replacement part is now 589600601 which was shipped. Installing the transmission requires a lot of work. And after all that, the new part does not work within this machine - in order to mount so belt drive from engine/blade drive is level, the transmission can not be pulled by the drive cable - this gear box has design with large flange which prohibits installation or movement by hitting the steel bottom of mower. Something is nuts! The shafts on the transmission are two lengths - the short length shaft goes to left side (from behind.)At least it should - it can't be installed that way.
The old tran case is markedly different. I need the old design.

Details:
All the U.S. suppliers of parts and all the exploded view parts diagrams/list show the old transmission but the ordering system forces the replacement "universal" part - which IS NOT universal.
