| I have a Stanley riding mower and the trans has stopped pulling. It makes a grinding noise and will not pull at all untill it sits for a while Then it will take off like it's fine for about 400 yards then stop pulling again. I would appreciate any help. It is a model 2000-002A Peerless
Thanks |

| Marty, The 2000 series has a seperate pump module and
differential. You have problems in the pump due to
low oil, or a viscosity problem caused by heat.
The pump is part# 794786 and retails for $345. You'll
find a rubber plug in top of the pump. You can remove
this plug and suck out (or pour) the oil that's in
there out. Replace with 730228A Tecumseh synthetic oil,
$7.38 qt. You'll need a couple of qts. The Murray
application tends to really build up dirt/debris on top
of these transaxles. If you don't pull the trans to do
this, clean if off completely BEFORE you remove the plug,
dirt can VERY EASILY get into the pump and then....you're
in trouble. Try the new oil FIRST, and then....a new pump.
Let me know if it comes to buying a new pump, where you
are in N.C.....and I'll give you a nearby source for the
pump. T-Man |

| I too have a Stanley mower with a Peerless transaxle.I am not sure which model but I noticed my mower was drastically slower at the end of last season.I had it serviced at an authorized dealer that charged $90.00 to basically tune it up.No matter how much gas I gave it the mower was way too slow.I used it at the start of this season and it completely quit.I think the non servicable trans has finally quit.I am very upset because it is only four years old.I don't know what to do now.Any advise? |

I had a similar problem with a Murray mower. I even took the hydro apart cleaned what little debris there was on the magnet and it still would only move about the same speed forward and back. There was no way to adjust the linkage since when pedal is all the way forward the lever on the hydro is at its limit because of a small dampening shock. I talked to the local lawnmower repair facility and he said just remove the shock. Only Murray and Honda use it anyway. I removed the shock and now it works like it did when I bought it new 4 years ago. By the way I mow 3 1/2 acres and pull a 60" swisher trail mower while mowing with the Murray so I cut a 7 1/2 foot swath at a time.
Happy as a hog in a bucket of slop.

I got a murray riding mower that has some problems with transmission ( barely goes forward or in reverse with continuous grinding noise).
It's got Hydrostatic Peerless 205-024C, the mower was used very carefuly, so I have no idea what could cause this tranny to be going out...
Please, give me any sugestions on how it can be fixed?Should I take it apart first?
One of you mentioned something about removing the shock that fixed the problem, what kind of shock were you talking about?
I will appreciate any help!
Thank you all! |

| Hey ikeup, I need to talk to u. I have a Husqvarna 2654 from Lowe's and I too pull a 60" Swisher, and I have a slowing down problem now. The mower is about 1 1/2 years old, and since I started pulling the Swisher (this season), it is stedily getting slower, to the point now that it will barely pull up a slope w/o the trail mower attached. They call this a lawn tractor, so I naturally assumed it would be fine to pull something with. What do you recommend? Anyone else? Thanks!! |

| I have 2001 Murray 42" lawn tractor with a peerless 2000-002a. I would like to hook the pedal lever up as mentioned by removing the dampening shock. I think mine is shot. Could someone send a picture so I could see how it would be hooked up without a shock? I have no forward or reverse and the shock feelsvery loose. Thanks |
RE: Peerless hydrostatic transaxle

| My belief is the shock just goes between the lever and a fixed point to act as a dampener. AT least on tractors I've seen. So, in this case- removing the shock completely may allow the lever to fully travel and may help your drive. |
