Which epoxy for a cover coat - steel to aluminum Hydrostat transmission?
I need an epoxy to try and seal the steel axle tube to the aluminum pig/hydrostat on the 1996 Toro Groundsmaster 223D.
When they make these they heat the aluminum housing and slide the axle tube in. There is no way to pull the axle tube out coat it and re-install it.
I have to coat the outside of the joint.
The axle tube is about 2 1/2" O.D.
I heard it's not an all that uncommon problem for the hydrostat to leak around the axle tube. It was suggested that I try epoxy.
I was planning to use some anchor set that I have here. But that stuff is old and I was wondering if there was a better product
Loctite recommended either 5600 silicone - 7 day full cure, good to 300 degrees or 4090 epoxy good to 300 degrees - 24 hour cure
