You can get them a bunch of different places, but you're not going to pay much less than that if at all. Your best bet is to get one out of a dead tractor-I'm going to look at a Murray this weekend that should have one.

I remember those days... When I was a kid there was only one yard near me that you could actually just go pick through the junk-they had a whole section of lawn tractors with big Peerless transaxles like the ones found in Cub Cadets and John Deere 110s. It's gone now. You're probably better off just searching Craigslist for a good deal. I missed one recently for $300 and it ran. You're looking for a "Garden Tractor," not just a lawn tractor. 18HP and up with at least 10" rear wheels. 820s are easy to spot because the axles are 1" rather than 3/4".

well... I always could go there... I've never been to that state or South Carolina... But I've been to 42 others... Yeah but that may have to be a spot to go... I really want an 820 bad!!!

Ha if I but 820 a for $15... I'm bringing $200 to spen in 820... I'm cashing in... Lol

I can pick transaxles at my U-Pull-It yard for $25 all day long. Got my AWS there.

But yeah, you probably wont find one cheaper new. Thats actually pretty close to cost, way less than youd find at a dealer or factory direct.

ok... Well I'm just going to keep my eyes open for something on cl or eBay... And quick question are all 820 5 speed? Or are some 6? Cause I've read a couple forums where guys are saying they have a 6 speed plus reverse

5 and 6, and I think there were a few uncommon 3 and 4 speeds.

Both of my 820s are 6 speeds.

ok... And another quick question if you know... Is there a visual difference between 3/4/5/6 speeds? With out having to crack the case open?

Nope. You could get the number off the tag and reference it with the model list (link below), or just count the clicks. All of them have reverse and neutral.
