Subject: Re: (ET) Transaxle Service
I've scanned in a picture of the standard differential from
the Peerless manual
and the duo trak differential and put the pictures on my
website:
The duotrak has pinion and side gears, but no bevel gears at
all.
Does this mean ALL 2300 series have a limited-slip
differential, or that it was an option
of
some sort? It specifically states that you can't just jack up one wheel to find
out, but I find is
a bit hard to believe there
is anything like a limited slip in my E12. I have spun too many wheels
pushing snow on ice; it's
always just a one wheel spin. Now I have to look up Duo-Track, there
are many ways to do
limited-slip, and the bevel gear may only be part of the story.
Some involve
friction clutches internal
to the transmission. If so, mine may be worn.

My service manual lists the E12 as E12S 26AE12AA.
Maybe they had a change
after that revision tractor. My tractor is E20 model
number 26AE20BA, and according to
the schematics sections, there were wiring and component
changes on later models.
Also, note that Peerless statement in my previous
posting
"At the same time, there are certain extreme conditions in
which the
Limited Slip Differential cannot be expected to
provide traction."
And the paragraph before this one:
"However, this feature cannot be demonstrated by jacking one
wheel off the ground
or placing one wheel in an extremely slippery
position."
Like a patch of ice, maybe?
