i was running a solid axle .mst 206 it twisted all the way around.. before it snapped , so i built a swing arm off the back. 1 1/4 axle ran with a chain from the one sided 206. then that broke. so i put new axle in the 206 . i run 2 chains from the 206 to the 1 1/4 axle. it is strong now . making double chain tighteners to have no chain slip in reverse was important .
I’ve been in 3 of these 801s and i knew about the spider gear pin but i was certain it was just a roll pin you could drive out with a punch. I went digging in my folder of transaxle build pictures and sure enough theres a picture of a disassembled 801 differential that’s had the pin driven out with a punch. No clue if I’ve just gotten lucky or what.
6:00 There both non chlorinated. Break cleaner is no more. The took the chlorine out of naked spray gun cleaner also. I have 3 $800.oo paint guns with nothing to clean them with.
I have a peerless 840A on my jd180. One of the bushings (for one of the gear shafts) blew out the left side of the housing, then the gear on that shaft dug through the bottom of the case too. Having trouble finding a reasonable priced housing (other than the $800 one from jd)…. And what grease to use (with the smaller 5in input shaft pulley like this one)?
Have an lx172 with the peerless 801. Had a friend borrow it and the handle linkage snapped and broke. I recall before i had him borrow my mower the gearrs got hard to ahift all together. Whats exactly am i looking at? Would fixing the linkage solve anything or just better change the oil on it? Thanks for the help.
what kind of MSTis that? it has a bullgear like a 639 or the 800s. the spiders off to the side. all my msts have a bullgear with spiders in the middle ,, i thought MSTs had 3/4 shaft and 800s 1 inch?
I just got a JD LX172 for free from my dad. He said previously it would only move in first and now it doesn't move at all. I pulled the top off and found that the belt was broken. However I noticed that when I turn the input shaft to the transmission with it in 1st that it doesn't seem to try and turn the wheels. Is it possible I might need to tear into the trans or is that normal?
Getting an old mower that the transmission still works is cheapest if you have a place to put it and a trailer to bring it home, otherwise ebay is rife with MSTs and the occasional 8xx series, though almost all of the 820s (the slightly tougher 800 series) that I've seen have been stripped down to sell individually as parts. For the good news, you can still get gears and/or parts either as NOS (new old stock) or even brand new from places like Oregon or a Peerless dealer. On that note, a brand new MST-206 goes for right around $200 +/- fifty bucks. I've seen them as low as $176 in the last few months. Small Engine Parts Warehouse usually has them, though they've gone up a lot more lately than is usual.
i thought you said the brake clean had Toho va boho.. DWL Toho va boho is the Hebrew phrase translated in English as "without form, and void" The brake clean is without form and void. it makes sense
Ugh, my 801F project is on the back burner in favor of getting a JD 214 repowered before the end of the year, but not looking forward to scraping out the muck to replace the shift keys and the main pinion that I'm pretty sure is keeping it from functioning as the backup machine. In the event you've seen an F model, this one has a very strange (rare?) friction disc clutch on top of the rear pulley that I re-engineering hoping it was the problem. Do you think the clutch is even necessary when I get back to the 801 rebuild?
I had a transmission took a s*** on me before when I was out in the woods I was sucking six gear the whole time the rest of yours did not work give it a little push and bakery I went home and it took it apart so did not figure out why it took a s*** on me don't know transmission still sitting in my mouth I ain't getting around fixing it not one bit don't really care and it come from a Murray frame too I have about maybe five or six transmissions from 3 Murray frames and two from Craftsman I say Christmas in Murray frame transmissions or good one lesson don't damn good too fast you will break a transmission lol
Maybe u can do that video of swapping a peerless 814 to a different style of transaxle

Where do you check oil level and fill it up ????

I have a peerless 840A, this seems to be related to it.
What do you suggest putting inside these transmissions? Do you use grease or some kind of gear lube?
liquid grease TSC
Personally I use 80w90 with red n' tacky grease and make a thicker mixture. Works amazing
What's the yellow bung? Can you use it to drain and refill with gear oil?
So can you still get oem peerless parts ? And from where I know it’s part of the tecumseh company

What do you prefer, the Peerless 801s or the Peerless MST-206??
801's with 8 inch rims are amazing. If you use 12" rims and big tires you'll blow any LT transaxle, but I've blown 5 206's so far and no 801's.
How y’all get the shifter off every time I put a ratchet on it it seemed like it was just shifting gear and not coming off??
What bearings can you use to replaces the brass bushings holding the axle?

Where can I find transmissions?

Thanks for your reply. I did a screenshot of your reply. I will transcribe your response.

Idk why they made it like that it was bound to crack because of the lines I’m surprised are axle didit twist instead it broke the key
Toluene is pronounced "tall you een" and fun fact, TNT stands for Trinitrotoluene, "Tri - Nitro - Toluene".
I mean, you're a pretty hefty dude though.
Boycott tractor supply cause of the beliefs
A broken Axel shaft 🤬😡
it is spelled axle the way you spelled it is a ice skating move i.e. a triple axel
@@markroderick3300 thanks for letting me know about that spelling error
