| Sorta A revive of a project that has sat for months without even a sniff about it. Thanks to xxXMowerDudeXxx, I got a new peerless trans for butch. I think it's a 901. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's got 3/4" axles. Will hopefully slip onto the front burner soon, as I'm gonna really need Butch for farm chores. As of now, still waiting. Will need to make hubs for the rear wheels. | |

| Awesome. Thanks for the correction Andy. The spicer Started slipping real bad. Bent shifting dogs were the culprit i believe. So i donated it to my Bro's Pedal car build. I bought the Peerless from MD to replace it. Got Butch into the garage and ready to start. I found a stick of Key way material laying around, so that problem is solved. The last hurdle to jump is the fabrication of new rear spindles. Once those are made, it's all go from there. I've got two ATVs worth of parts so I may put the 4 link suspension on the front and do direct steering. who knows. Stay tuned, Will get it done somehow. | |

| Naw. New it was my own doing there. The spicer was just as bad at putting everything back the right way. LOL. No. The old grease was usable and seemed clean. I really don't want to get that greasy, especially with milking equipment in the sink, so I opted to leave it this time. I really should collect the dirt on the trans and keep it as a souvenir. | |

| As always, no problem. It's what these build threads are here for. So, a much needed update WITH PICS!!!!!!!!! some reveiw first. Thanks to MowerDude, I was able to get a peerless 930 in the tractor to replace the spicer 4360 that I gave my bro for his pedal car build. That was about as far as butch got till, I broke down and bought some new ag tires with rims for the rear. After some mods to the Trans, which included shortening the extended shift shaft, I threw it in and went for a test run. Super nice trans(good reps for you MD). After the test, I took the trans off and apart to fix the shift ball wish had fallen out. This is where it got sticky....Literally. The stupid idiot I was, I took the top half of the case off, Right over top the bottom half. I ended up dumping dirt and sand all over everything. So...., back to the grind stone I went and soaked and brushed every gear and axle in solvent. After everything was clean, I ended up shoving 3 tubes of grease into the sucker. This involved taking the case apart several times. This is where that drill press trick came in super handy. I had to spin the trans several times to distribute the grease around. After bench testing it on the drill press, Back in the tractor it went and all was well,that is, till I noticed a rather annoying problem starring a hole in my face. The drive belt was shot! So, I got a new one(best decision I ever made) and now all is well. Whew!. I use it everyday now. Love how it's running. Put the ATV front wheels back on that I first had on when I modded it for the first time. Kicking around a few wheel choices around for the front. Butch does real well in the mud. Haven't gotten stuck yet. Enjoy the pics. PS, as of today, I now have more repairs to do. Broken trans bracket and sheared off shift lever. LOL ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3364_zps4fba72a8](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3364_zps4fba72a8.jpg) ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3486_zpsab85a74f](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3486_zpsab85a74f.jpg) ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3506_zpse2ff28b9](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3506_zpse2ff28b9.jpg) ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3429_zps0100711f](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3429_zps0100711f.jpg) ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3495_zps22d259df](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3495_zps22d259df.jpg) ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3487_zps6eae2bca](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3487_zps6eae2bca.jpg) ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3509_zpsa29f6beb](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3509_zpsa29f6beb.jpg) ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3501_zps04acff31](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3501_zps04acff31.jpg) ![TMJ's Craftsman LT1000 Conversion Thread - Page 13 IMG_3507_zps0587538c](https://2img.net/h/i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q554/IDIdieselnut/My%20lawn%20mower%20conversion/IMG_3507_zps0587538c.jpg) | |
