i am rebuilding mine now.
according to local JD dealer, this is a non-repairable item (ce17392 not JD part number)
it would cost $582.00 just for the gearbox from dealer.
bearings and seals cost me to replace are $125.00 + 6 hours of my time.
if you are thinking of rebuilding yours, i can give you some helpful tips.

I cant seem to get the new pinion gear to go on the drive shaft of my John Deere LA105. Is there a trick to it?
Gears are worn
About 10-20 mph. It matters what gear your in.

John Deere recommends that you put Low Viscosity Hy-Gard or Hy-Gard Transmission oil in their Hydro or Gear Transmissions. The Low-Vis is used for factory fill in the Hydro and Hy-Gard in the Gear Transmission.
Mine will go 19 MPH on flat ground.
You can request for someone to build it for you or build it yourself.
The John Deere G tractor model features a 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled fuel engine and a 5 gear transmission. The full details can be found online at the web domain "TractorData."
That is a GX85 gear-drive rear-engine rider. Manual should still be online. Deere will be glad to sell you one. I post some links below; worked for a Deere dealer for over seven years.
When the transmissions in these tractors get worn, they will jump out of gear. Usually first and third gear will do this first, and if the transmission gets really worn other gears may jump out.

The John Deere 170 garden tractor was produced in 1989 and 1990. It had a gear drive while the 175 was equipped with a hydro drive.
