Anyone here have any experience switching a Peerless transaxle from grease packed to oil filled?

I know people do it and they used to come oil filled or grease packed.  
An oil bath is unquestionably better that grease packed IMHO.   Just wondering if anyone has done it themselves.  There's brass bushings in them I believe so I know picking a brass/bronze safe gear oil blend is important. 

Anyone have anything to say about it?

  • You're a landscaper.   You prolly use these transaxles all the time.  Or Spicer clones of them.


    Few scents are more repugnant than gear oil.   It's wretched stuff. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at December 20, 2016 3:05 PM MST

  • Transaxle.    It's a transmission combined with a differential and drive axle in one unit.
    Peerless is a major maker of them for small engine equipment and their basic design is "cloned" by several other makers.
