Transaxle oil/grease

Subject: Transaxle oil/grease May 21st 2018, 10:57 am

I have a mid 90's noma 14.5 HP 43" deck. I'm not sure what trans it has or what to put in it once or if I weld it posi. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not quite sure why your thread posted three times, but I deleted the other two for ya.

My guess is unless it's a Peerless MST series it's a grease filled transaxle. Best thing is to just open it up and see what's inside.

Find the model of it, if it's a spicer it is grease filled, and if it is peerless model that's not met something it will be grease as well but you can convert them to oil or oil and grease

If you look under the brake rotor you should find the model number of the transaxle. You may have to remove the brake caliper first. If you're still unsure then you could post some pictures of it.

I'd go with 80-90 wt gear oil

Brake caliper? Umm it's generally on the opposite side or on the bottom of the case on the right axle support fin.

Okay thanks guys!

Would it be possible to use a deck pulley on the trans?

Subject: Re: Transaxle oil/grease May 22nd 2018, 7:07 am

Absolutely, you just have to find the right hub to weld it to and make sure it's centered.

This is what I have lol

Looks like a 920/930 to me.

Subject: Re: Transaxle oil/grease May 24th 2018, 4:35 pm

Any way I can make it easier for you to tell?

Subject: Re: Transaxle oil/grease May 24th 2018, 4:47 pm

Turn it over and see if there are any bolts on the bottom. The 900 series shouldn't have them, but if it's an MST it should. But I'm like 90% sure that's a 900 series, which those are pretty good. Better than most.

Or just look for the ID tag/sticker. There might be a sticker on the back of the trans.

That’s a 900 series. Either a 920 or 930

Yes, I forgot to mention that. Although if it is a 900, I think the tag would be nearer to the breaks.

Subject: Re: Transaxle oil/grease May 24th 2018, 5:19 pm

There are no tags on it.

I lied lol there it is

Subject: Re: Transaxle oil/grease May 24th 2018, 5:36 pm

Will this transaxle take the abuse?

Subject: Re: Transaxle oil/grease May 24th 2018, 5:37 pm

Haha. Yeah it should, it has a reverse chain which isn't the best, otherwise, there isn't much fault in them.

Subject: Re: Transaxle oil/grease May 24th 2018, 5:53 pm

Okay so welding it solid wouldn't hurt? Lol and fluid wise?

Subject: Re: Transaxle oil/grease May 24th 2018, 6:09 pm

This is gonna be my woods beater so it's not gonna be treated very kindly lol

@Shane87 here's my thread on how I locked my 930-011a 6 speed. It's a pretty good guide for what you'll need to do. My 6 speed hasn't had any issues yet!
