[pdinsc 0]

Looking for a good used transaxle for my 1961 wheel horse, not sure of model. can anyone help with this?

Welcome!

 

You will need to know the model. A 401 trans is completely different than a 551 or 701. Post a thread asking for help with the model ID with good pictures from all 4 sides.

Like Walfish said...need a lot more info to try to help you out.  Welcome to Red Square.  Click on this link and see if it helps you to post some pictures.  There are 2 different types of transmissions for 1961...one is a center casting with side plates...and the other is a 2 piece casting.  While the internals are similar, they do have some different part numbers.  Why do you think you need a new transmission??

...or you could place a "wanted" ad in the   classified section.

I have the center casting with two side plates. My center casting has been damaged and the diff. has been welded.

If, indeed, it is a 1961...sounds like you have a 401 with a Wheel Horse transmission # 5010.  If you have it torn apart...what is good and what is bad??  We have a few members that may be able to supply you with the parts you need.  You can still buy the bearings and seals if they are bad.    What is welded in the differential?

Whete the spider gears would be.

OK...pictures would be worth a thousand words...is anything with the differential salvageable??  IE...the differential housing, the axles, the axle gears...are the spiders and posts there.  Know that there are a couple of different types of differentials out there...one piece with about 33 teeth on the bull gear...one piece with about 44 teeth on the bull gear...and 3 piece (2 plates with the bull gear bolted together) 44 teeth.  How many teeth does the large gear that meshes with the bull gear have???  8 or 11???   I doubt that you will find a complete transmission for your horse that you will not have to rebuild.  Do you have this thing apart??
