Is the clutch disc properly oriented; the raised portion of the disc hub goes toward the pressure plate

I always said "nothing good happens after a hundred"

If you're planning to go that route, check with the dealer I used ( RAMWORK, INC Butler,MO 660-679-5807) as the stock gearing in the MST unit is not ideal compared to the original 920-017 Peerless transaxle. This issue is correctable however

$520.00 + or - including shipping with a 2 year Peerless factory warranty. Had to adapt the left side front mount but other mounts bolted up. More than happy

Update; purchased a new Peerless transaxle through a dealer in Missouri so we're back in business

I used JD corn head grease when rebuilding the Peerless transaxle in my John Deere lawn tractor 12 or so years ago; worked fine for many years

Think you answered your question; I've found OEM equipment superior to aftermarket???

Thanks for that. I've been in the case once to replace two fractured shift keys about 12 years ago and filled it with corn head grease then. I have the unit out, but have yet to take top case cover off; too da--d hot

Thanks, but I have a difficult time purchasing something I can't see from someone I don't know

Thanks for that info; was unaware Peerless is still around

Thanks for the responses but I should have specified this is a manual gear trans/axle

I have the above mower and the trans/axle crapped on me; looking for a replacement of this 30yr old piece, but don't where to look. STX 30 and STX 38 utilize the same Peerless unit. Before you tell me to junk it, the rest of the mower is still in excellent shape and I'm 82 years old so not going...

I would disconnect the battery cables at both ends and check continuity with an ohms meter, If continuity is proven, look for a main fuse/circuit breaker

If the plug she installed in place of the fuel cap is tight in the tank opening, there is no tank vent

Watched the dealer use a 3 foot pipe wrench coupled with a 4 foot pipe to remove the nut on my Kioti; definitely left some marks
