A couple weeks ago seen add in craigslist for ariens mower model 1540, looked good, add said new motor 2 years ago, new hard tubs on catcher unit, right side drive unit bad. Went to take a look, motor had been replaced with a 21 horse briggs, did some checking around, found out surplus center had the drive unit for 230.00. Offered the seller 200. He said 250. Sold. Got it home took drive unit out, tore it apart, broken axle, V out, welded together, put sleeve over weld area, welded sleeve on, reassemble drive unit, add oil, purge system, works like a dream. I have a 21HP. 40 inch cut mower with grass blower, bagger system. Total investment. 270. Bucks. Guys on this page helped me to get the system purged and working. THANKS.
 
I don't recall seeing the original post. Is the mower a zero turn? I just picked up a Ariens zoom 1540 with a very tired motor. Got it for free. It does run, but smokes, uses oil, and fouls plug. It is a Briggs 15 hp Intek. I have a line on a Briggs 14hp Vanguard that is supposedly low hour, and for what I read is a much better motor than the Intek. I should end up fairly cheaply into mine if it all works out.
