my build begins

[k120189]

OK so i scrapped my sentinel mower (after removing and keeping the front end,transaxle, and Briggs 12hp ic)
and called my fried knowing that in her junk yard of a back yard she had a half dozen ride on mowers...when i got there my newest victim stood out like there was no tomorrow an older dynamark mower. so after a few trips for a trailer front wheels and my friends simplicity we towed it loaded it up and brought her home. now its too dark for pics now but i will get some tomorrow it will be lifted 4in. in the rear and whatever it takes in the front to level it out...might keep the beaten paint look to it looks kinda cool...also there was another mower there with a chain driven rear end, i didnt know how to tell transmissions but it had a ragb tranny....if anyone is interested in parts lmk cause i need a carb....pics tomorrow

this is a pic i found online of what it looks like...only mine looks its age
Posted on: April 10, 2007, 06:23:58 PMok got the front end almost done...need one more pracket theat im getting made tomorrow at school...then i come home tack ti up and take a vid pull pics of that for ur viewing pleasure then back to work on the rear end

[MTDrider1160]

That transmission is most likely a 700.  Was it a toro or a murray?

[k120189]

i think a toro....is a seven hundred worth anything if it is im gonna go back grab it and sell it...its sleeting now so when i get the mower in the garage and the bracket i made on you guys get pics

[MTDrider1160]

Yea a 700 is worth somthing! Its the racing tranny of choice! Sell it on heymow.

[k120189]

thank you much...pics as soon as the sleet stops

Posted on: April 12, 2007, 01:49:54 PMgot pics...

[MTDrider1160]

looks good!

[k120189]

yup the front lift needs some suport and spacers then i move to the back...i reused the back bracket for the front axle....smart right? i got a metal fab shop in my scool making bits and peices for me :-D good parts for free its all tack welded for now

[MTDrider1160]

You might want to invest in a set of stronger spindles, those dont look stock.  But they dont look very strong either.  take a look at the spindles on my toro, there kinda what you want.

[k120189]

those are indeed stock and have held up from the other atlm mower they were on

[MTDrider1160]

What class are you building to?  As long as its for limited you can use them.

[k120189]

it is limited...i wanted to use my butterfly wheel but cant...

[MTDrider1160]

Maybe you can get ahold of another mower and use it on there.

[k120189]

if i dont sell that 700 im gonna build a modified

[STEELMAN]

hey kevin i agree with you on the spindles the only thing i have ever broke a stock spindle on is a cub cadet the thing is a tank 900 pounds but all i can say is chris has created an assosiation here with rules  if you want a cheap alternative go to devins build and check out those spindles its pretty much a bolt and a tube welded together
Posted on: April 14, 2007, 09:47:42 PMhey by the way kevin seems the lift issue we were talking about before could be solved by using the bottom pully on the motor instead of raising the rear pully and using a bearing

[k120189]

steelman...im gonna run a single pully off the motor and extend the pully shaft on the transxles to keep my clearences and im sticking wiht that front end cause im staying in the limited rules

[STEELMAN]

gotcha with the class kevin as far as the pullies i usually flip the top one upside down to get some speed but with a lift you would not need to do that you could run off the deck pully
Posted on: April 14, 2007, 10:34:37 PMwhat kind of transaxle does this mower have kevin

[k120189]

pearless...i have a pic of it....not sure of the model....mayb one of you guys could tell me...and i dont have the pullies it came without them....
Posted on: April 15, 2007, 08:29:43 AMboth the front end and transaxle came from a newer dynamark mower...actulay so did the engine...but yea thats the transaxle says peerless on it
.....ok cant post the pic...the whole blacklisted url thing which is odd cause the four others all also came off photobucket....



Posted on: April 15, 2007, 08:37:49 AMok now the pics works????confuses the bananas outta me

[MTDrider1160]

Looks like you got a slight grease leak there.

[k120189]

nah shes jus wet and dirty...wow that sounds wrong...can anyone tell me wha that transaxle is or how to identify it it has a 3/4 axle

[ryf]

looks like a 930 or a 20x (x being the number of gears) looks a little old to be a 200 series though. of course it could have been sitting in a puddle.....

[k120189]

im gonna go and say its a 205 then...thanks...it has been outside

[STEELMAN]

kevin i dont have time to look right now but if you go to the heymow site there is a pdf file you can download that will tell you every thing youll ever need to know about peerless trannys and transaxles including identification if you cant find it ask squidd

[ryf]

that would make sense, it looks identical to my 204. a 200 series is a direct bolt in for a 930. its supposed to have a better reverse and shift position feel than its predecessor according to peerless. I have a mid 90's craftsman with the 206, it holds up very well, brakes will fail eventually.
--------------------------------
MST 200 Series 204/205/206  

Peerless MST 200 series - Manual Shift Transaxles.
100% interchangeability with the 930 series transaxle. Improved  feel of shift position. More durable reversing mechanism and has higher output torque.

[k120189]

well yesterday was snow now its pouring rain out....as soon as i get good weather i'll get back to work...i have a garage its just attached to the house so i cant weld in there...also what to u guys sugest for getting a stuck wheel off an axle?

[MTDrider1160]

heat, grind the axle stub off a little, take it to a machine shop with a press.

[k120189]

yea i'll see what my shop can do if not i have a feeling some heat and a bfh will help the wheels and tires are only for mock up eventualy im gonna get hubs 8in wheels and 22in tires

[toby3]

[mtd]
