I'd be happy to get a copy of the axle manual. There's not much in the ET
homeowners service manual.
I occasionally remove the filler plug and squirt in some 90W - the norm
for
many truck & auto rear ends is to fill until it begins to run back out the
fill hole. I hope that's about right! It probably wouldn't hurt to drain
and refill the transaxle every few years due to metal particle wear and
tear. There is a drain plug on the bottom. I'm sure 90 weight is OK.

Subject: (ET) Transaxle Service
Thanks for the help with locating belts for the tractors! I am going to
order them from Technical Services. I like to support them, and their
prices seem to be at least as good as anyone else.
Does anyone know what "regular" service should be performed on the
large-frame tractors transaxles? I have 4 tractors, and, as far as I
know, none of the transaxles have ever been serviced.
Strangely enough, I found a Tecumseh/Peerless Mechanic's Handbook (c
1977) at a yardsale. It seems to cover the transaxle used on the
tractors (2300 series -- does that sound right?), but only seems to have
information on rebuilding the transaxle, not on maintenance. It says to
fill the transaxle though the shift lever opening with 4 pints of SAE
E.P. 90 oil. Does that sound right? Any suggestions?
If there is any interest in this manual, I might be able to scan the
relavent pages and e-mail them.
Thank you,
Allan
