Re: (ET) Transaxle Service



I have done major repairs on over half a dozen of these gear boxes, and have yet to see this differential arrangement. Thanks for sharing this with us. Now, where can we get some!?

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?
