David, For whatever reason, I can’t seem to login to the elec-trak
website so I’ll try to respond this way. I was able to read both of
your posts, but couldn’t reply on the site. If anyone else is considering using a Peerless transaxle out of
the older John Deere 110 and 112 series tractors, I’d like to suggest
that they look for a Peerless model 2317. The 2317 model used what JD
called “DuoTrak”, a limited slip differential. That way you might
get some real improvement in sever pulling situations. It seems to me like you went to a lot of trouble for very little benefit,
but to each his own. But then back around 1990, I modified the axle shafts
and axle housings off my E10 to use needle bearings in place of the OEM bronze
bushings at both the inboard and outboard positions. And I’m sure
there are those that would say that was a lot of work for very little benefit. But then one of these days I’d like to add turning brakes
off an older model Cub Cadet to a Wheel Horse C-185, finish converting a model
411 Grasshopper ZTR to electric power, finish remodeling the kitchen, get my abrasive
cleaning and powder coating operation going, and get a ’53 Studebaker Coupe
restified and back on the road. Turning 65 next month, might be more
projects than I got time. Mike in KY From: elec-trak-bounces cosmos phy tufts edu
