Eaton 11 - Bypass Aux Ports on Charge Pump
Handy Don replied to Babbo's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
If you are keeping those components in the loop and adding some cooling in place of the valve plumbing and valve body, you probably will be good. The Eaton/Unidrive WHs rely on the transaxle as the reservoir and their vent is through a hollow handle in the dipstick. I think you are completely correct that there is an air pocket preventing full filling. I’d close the inspection port, run it through some gentle motion for a minute, and then retry. -

Had that happen many times.

You'll need ferry tickets and be prepared to pay about £1.59 per liter for the UK locale (about $8 per gallon). Bollocks.

@953 nut and I both preach " CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS!!!! " I put a starter in my C160 about 4 years ago. It was used. Always fires right up and isn't overly noisy. I mowed this AM and shut it off. Mowed this afternoon and parked it in the driveway so I could blow the grass off of it like I always try to do. Tractor sat for about 4 hrs and when I went to start it the dreaded " Solenoid clicks but it doesn't crank." Everything looked pretty good and testing at the starter terminal revealed 12.9 volts with the key in the start position. Here is a picture of the starter and cable. Really doesn't look bad at all: I put my hand on the terminal with the key in crank and a spark!!! So I yanked off the terminal and inspected it. Looked fairly clean but I got some sand paper out and polished things a tad and she fires up so I don't have to push it! Just goes to show you what a little "fuzz" on a connection can do.

May have to add that duty to the navigator.. We generally pull in off the slab gas up and grab a smoke damn the cost. Pulling off the slab in search of cheaper fuel is sometimes a hassle not worth it if you have to deal with toll booths and pulling a wagon load of tractors. Particularly going through the countries of Indiana and Ohio. Illinois being the absolute worst.

Here is a 2-cavity side mount that is what you need to slip onto the two flat-topped pins. Just be sure to orient the female connectors with their metal slots aligned with the openings in the housing! -
Eaton 11 - Bypass Aux Ports on Charge Pump
Babbo replied to Babbo's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
From my limited understanding and from what I've read, the Peerless transaxle is the working end AND reservoir for this system. The manual I have says to fill through the vent hole until oil seeps out of the inspection hole, about half way up the back end of the transaxle housing. I question this because of how much fluid came out vs how much went in. About 4qts came out but only about 2 went in. It could need some run time to purge the air out of the system. -

Handy Don replied to Babbo's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Frankly, undersizing the provision for cooling could backfire. Hydro pumps generate quite a bit of heat when under load and the fluid typically expands noticeably. In the first post’s diagram, you showed that the filter and cooler remained in the charge loop but I don’t see a reservoir. What sort of reservoir and vent does this system have? -
If Stormin was still with us, he could have reported on the price per litre on his visits to his pal Dunc. I'm sure it's nuts over there or as nORM would have said "Bullocks!?!

They probably suposed to be but u could see the new grease coming out around the outer race.

Yep. Stamped steel outer race but certainly pre-greased and closed on the “inner” side.

Well I didn't think AI would have much to say about that, but they surprised me. They overlooked the on my wife falls for quite often, Store Loyalty Gas Discounts. A local grocery chain has gas discounts, a nickel per gallon for every $ 100.00 you spend at the store. Quit often the pump price at the grocery store is 10 to 20 cents more than the price at the local cut-rate gas station, but she hates to see those loyalty points expire so she gets a nickel or a dime off of gas the was priced twenty cents higher. "Girl math" is a viral social media trend featuring humorous, often ironic mental gymnastics used to justify spending habits and make purchases feel financially sensible. It operates on the logic that time, convenience, and perceived discounts are interchangeable currencies that effectively make expenses "free." [1, 2, 3, 4] The Core Rules of Girl Math While the scenarios are almost entirely tongue-in-cheek, they follow a few universally understood "theorems": [1, 2] The Cash Rule: If you pay for something with cash or a pre-loaded gift card, it is practically free because the money isn't actively leaving your checking account. [1] The "Cost-Per-Wear" Investment: A $300 item that you wear 100 times actually costs only $3 per wear. Therefore, you are practically saving money by buying it. [1, 2, 3] Pre-Paid Accounts = No Cost: If you load a Starbucks app with $25 ahead of time, your coffee is completely free when you pick it up next week. [1] The Cancellation Profit: If a friend cancels dinner plans, you instantly have "free" money in your budget that was already earmarked for that meal. [1, 2] Discount Logic: If you don't buy an item that is usually $100 but on sale for $50, you didn't save $50—you essentially made $50, which is then free to spend on something else. [1, 2] Event Pre-Payment: Concert or flight tickets bought months in advance are free because you will have forgotten about the initial charge by the time the event actually happens. [1]

Do a little research and check out Craigslist in your area. I have two of these and have seen them for as little as $30. Also check the reviews. I’m told that recent models are not as strong/stable as older ones. One permanently set up in my shop has the front jaw that tilts to vertical making it very helpful for some wordworking projects.

I will you bring that rig to plow day!

Is that Scotland PA or Scotland UK?

The electric terminals that would connect to the posts would be a Packard 56 female which should be available at any Good auto parts store. The housing they insert into ( 36 ) is Wheel Horse part # 106024, unfortunately it is shown as no longer available on parts tree. Perhaps someone has a used wiring harness that has the housing or you may be able to find a housing that you could modify for this. Looking at DelCity's website I see that the four terminal female housing may work, the auto parts store may have one of them too. https://www.delcity.net/store/wire-connectors-quick-splices/packard-56-series-electrical-connectors/female-4-contact/ -

My safety switches have brass studs for a ring connector. Looks like yours is different maybe someone with a later year tractor then mine can tell you. -
Eaton 11 - Bypass Aux Ports on Charge Pump
Babbo replied to Babbo's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
You are correct. I plan to use some finned steel tubing as a bypass connection. One quick question, I've been filling this system from the breather vent. Is there a better way to fill this? The hydrostatic pump is an Eaton 11 and the transaxle is a Peerless 2500. Thank you. -

Aren't those bearings sealed?

Wow, 2.8k what a steal! In 2022, I drove 1050 mile round trip for a ’97 520 with sub 350 hours. @WHX?? are you holding that grader blade for me?🙂

I'll pick up a workmate bench this weekend...Thanks for the comments!

Found some steel wheels with ball bearings for 520h mowing deck, wheels had no grease fitting . So made greasable axles instead of adding fittings to wheels seems to have worked out good. Forgot pics of painted wheels but they are you guessed it red now.
