manual trans-axle

I am looking to replace my hydro trans-axle with a manual one. I have a craftsman lt1000. Does any one know where i could get the manual trans-axle for it. Or if any one know of a manual trans axle that willfit the lt1000 and it has to have the shifter on the right rear fender. I dont want to spend hundreds of dollars either.

the shifter an stuff dont matter you may just have to make your ownn an bout any rearend will work craftsman an muarry are the same make have to rig somthin up

or you can even find the same transaxle on another brand mower because craftsman does not make there one transaxle. mine is a tecumseh

Seems like there are 2 major types or brands of transaxle, the tecumseh/peerless or the spicer. Either one has different models but they are similar, different number of gears. Check out www.surpluscenter.com in the power transmission section. They sell a few different kinds and have specs and pics which may be useful.

oh i didnt get the model number yet but i believe its a peerless 200 6 speed

Cheeper alternative might be around the corner- look around for a similar model tractor with like a bad motor - most tractors ive gotten were under $50 .

If modding the tractor- it also makes sense to dump the old gear oil/grease and prep it for severe duty- ive broken one when i left the old grease in it.

My grandma has some old lawn mower that the engins dont work. I will see if they have any working trans-axles. Also i found a lawn tractor on craigslist with a broken motor. So i might be able to find a trans-axle.
