The Elec Trak Peerless Tranmission has no reverse.  That comes from the 
motor running backwards!

Hi,
 
I'm have some questions regarding the transmission for my E12:
 
1. My owner's manual shows 4 speeds: D2, D1, L and LL.  However, my 
Peerless Mechanic's Handbook for Elec-Trak Garden Tractors shows only 3- 
and 4-speed transaxles.  The 3-speed is desribed as having 3 forward 
speeds and 1 reverse.  The 4-speed is described as having 4-speeds forward 
and 1 reverse.  What gives?
 
2. I brought the transmission to a repair shop and the guy is concerned 
about whether I can get parts (gaskets, seals, gears, etc) before he opens 
it up.  Can anyone shed some light on this?
 
Thanks!
 
Paul
