Re: (ET) Transmission noises, odd
Chris,
Suggest you go buy a cheap stethoscope from an auto parts store,
properly jack and block the rear end up and run the tractor and listen
with the stethoscope.....places like outer axle bearings and input shaft
to see if there is a bad bearing. The Peerless manual is on line and
it's not a bad job to take it apart and replace bearings or seals.
Also, listen to the drive motor bearings as one of them could be bad
too.

Subject: (ET) Transmission noises, odd
So it's spring, which means time to remove the snowblower and hook up
the tiller. Did some tilling in the yard, the NiCD batteries just hold
up exceptionally well.
However while tilling I started to hear a grinding sound from the
motor/transmission. It looks like it is coming from the tranny. I'll try
jacking it up and replacing the transmission oil, but does anyone else
have any ideas what could cause rumbling in the transmission, and if it
can be replaced?
Chris
