    Peerless 206 565 transaxle seems to be broken

    My gearshift control is a big lever sticking up thru the deck next to my right hip. It is firmly linked (no slop, I already checked that) to a torsion bar that traverses under the deck to more linkage (also tight) on the left. That is what attaches to the lever on the top of the transaxle. All...

    Peerless 206 565 transaxle seems to be broken

    Monday afternoon status Thanks to everybody for the instructions, hints, tips, and suggestions. I am reading them all. Got the gearbox apart and tore down the shift shaft, all the way down to pieces. The shift keys looked just fine, barely any wear marks, no sign of cracks or other damage...

    Peerless 206 565 transaxle seems to be broken

    I am looking at pages 57 to 62 (for "MST 200") and the illustrations look like my hardware.

    Peerless 206 565 transaxle seems to be broken

    I am trying to find my transaxle model in the Tecumseh manual, but having trouble matching up my mess with what I see in the manual. I think I may have what Tecumseh calls the MST 200 series. The ident label on the outside of the case says (Peerless) model H MST - 206 - 565, which doesn't seem...

    Peerless 206 565 transaxle seems to be broken

    Yeah, got 'em right off the bat. After digging/hosing all the dirt off the exterior, they were pretty noticeable. But thanks anyway

    Peerless 206 565 transaxle seems to be broken

    I could not turn-the-pulley-and-check-the-input-shaft when the pulley was still in place because the pulley hub extends all the way down to the gearbox casing, leaving no part of the input shaft exposed but the end. But after pulling off the pulley, the key that locks the pulley to this shaft...

    Peerless 206 565 transaxle seems to be broken

    I don't know much, but I know the keys HAVE TO BE inserted to get any drive torque to the rear wheels. And they were/are. I appreciate the reply very much. You have given me something to work on tomorrow (it's gonna be pouring rain here anyway). Sounds like maybe you have done this stuff...

    Peerless 206 565 transaxle seems to be broken

    I have an old Ariens riding mower (model 96046? or 936037? too many numbers on the sticker) with a Peerless manual-shift 206 565 transaxle. Got it out a few weeks back to begin harvesting the lawn and it would not move. Here is the extent of my trouble-shooting expertise: -- Put it in any fwd...

    Stumbling around...

    I just signed up and I hate to complain, but am I the only one getting buried with adverts on this forum? I click to a new page and instantly get so many popups that I can't see the page. What am I doing wrong? What do you guys do to suppress that garbage? Do I need to pay some sort of...
