Identify this transaxle?

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/grd/3924287420.html I'm thinking about lookin at this for my next build but i'd like to know what it is so I can research it and find out if its what I want.. if I get it it'll be only turning 25 in swamp witches.. Lol  

also forgot to mention it'll be powered a by a crf 250r motor.. Broke frame in a crash last year and its at my cousins house just sitting waiting for me to throw it in something..

Get that NOW it can handle 35s easy

thats from a GT18 by crapsmen lol came with a 18hp oppy these transmissons are bullet proof

Did the have ragb? Or did they twist the belt?

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/grd/3960907751.html is this one better?

twists the belt thats what my newer gt did, it had a 23 kohler pro horizontal

It also has high and low

I'll give you 100 plus whatever shipping comes to if you buy it and ship it to me, I've been looking forever for one.

I dunno if you watch Fearless's vids on youtube or not but the first one looks like the one in his sears suburban.

If I buy it and decide i dont want it I'll PM you

Did any of you look at the cub axle in my other reply?
I hung up between the 2..

The cub looks like it would be easier to work on but my opinion here is pretty biased.

I'd get the first one cause that is the one that fearless has in his sears,
and they look tough as heck.

I emailed the dudes about both of them... which ever does the best price is the one ill look into the most.. Do you shift it like a stick shift in a car or "Actual" tractor..

The first one you will have the h-shift pattern like this

1   3
  n
2   r

or something like that.

If i has that that then how you shift from high to low?

Gears

High and low

Thanks.. What is this trans actually called? Peerless #####? How is the best way to route belts to this? I'd like to use my spare built 12hp for this.. Also will it hold up to high speed from pully swaps?

You would have to stop completely, idle down, and clutch in to shift with both. They are not shift-on-the-go. The first one is an H pattern three speed Hi-Lo transaxle, the other one is most likely just a three speed. They are made for horizontal shaft motors so If you wanted to use a vertical shaft motor you would have to use a RAGB or twist the belt after a jackshaft.

Ok I gotcha.. Thank you

 Dang... I had one of these transaxles (actually 2 at one point) a couple of months ago and didn't need it anymore.  Put it out on the highway w/ a "Free to Take" sign  .  The scrapyard I go to has a lot of old garden tractors with these dinosaur transaxles that go for $25.  Next time I go I'll check if there some more of 'em.  

As far as TroyBilt's question goes, I think these are Roper made but Sears branded.  But don't quote me on that.  Also, yes the orginal tractor I took one of these from used a funky 'mule drive' setup with a twisted belt to transaxle.
