I know this is a little later than usual but it’s been a very busy summer. Everything was going super until about last week… But anyway, here’s what new.

A lot of this is junk, but there is at least one diamond in the rough here. It was a sight unseen must-take-all kind of deal, so we went with Sterling’s diesel Dodge truck and a borrowed trailer and pulled these relics out of a poison ivy filled muddy yard and brought them to tractor land. Oh yeah, and Dave got a bed liner for his Chevy for free too.

In these two videos Dave and Lynol rebuild a Tecumseh Peerless 5-speed manual transaxle model 930-054A out of a 1996 AYP built Weed Eater. This transaxle is very widely used on lawn tractors in 3, 4, 5, & 6 speed configurations dating back to the early 1980’s. You’ll find these on brands from Murray to Craftsman to Husqvarna, just to name a few. It is also very similar to some transaxles made by Foote and Spicer (Dana). These videos are a general overview on how to take them apart and a look at what’s inside. Don’t let these things intimidate you; there not that complicated. If you are good at tinkering and are mechanically minded, you can probably fix your transaxle too!
Here’s a link to a exploded diagram and parts list for this particular transaxle so you can see what exactly is inside: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/retrieveModelAction!retrieveModelDetails.action?modelNumber=930-054A&productCategoryId=1510000&brandId=0796&method:retrieveModelDetails=x
