2 Stage Gear Box

Recommended Posts

Ok Fellas, 

 

2 Stage (79361) froze, was blowing snow and then the screech! Won't move, I believe its the gear box. I haven't had a chance to tear into it yet but what should I expect/look for? Are the gears readily available?

 

HELP!

The gearbox is a Peerless, the odref.com website (Outdoor Distributors Reference) has drawings and part numbers. PartsTree and Jacks Small Engines both have some parts available.

I have only had the cover off to check the gears and change the gear oil on my '98 2 stage.

Thanks guys!

 

Wait, why did they but such a low HP gearbox on a blower designed for 16+ horsepower.

There's not to much inside those right angle gear boxes. 2 gears and bearing. Are you sure that's what locked up or are we talking about the auger gear box?

Did anything get wedged inside the auger or paddle?

      Hello!
       
      I am looking for any and all snowthrowers that will work on my GT2500. I am trying to find one off FB marketplace but no one ever really posts the model number. Usually just the length. So I look for 42'' throwers but I don't know what will fit. A local seller has this for sale:
       
      He says its 42 but unaware the model, the Wheelhorse logo looks to be from the late 60's/early 70's? It looks like the below thrower:
       

       
      My question is if that thrower year/model will fit the GT2500. It looks pretty dang simple but I'm not sure. Someone mentioned something about the right size "Quick-hitch" in another post.

      Lets make a deal. The whole collection for $3000 or one tractor and half the items listed below for $1500. 
      I am moving to town so am willing to do a partial trade for a wheelhorse more approproiate for a suburban lot- lawn ranger, surburban models, bcs walking tractor, other?
      I could possibly deliver or meet half-way or ship.
       
      Both tractors run great and are in good working order. Second owner of both machines. I work with these machines everyday so they are not perfect but are, in my opinion, in excellent shape.
      42in high-shoot snow blower
      42 in rear discharge deck
      Snow blade
      Front mount deck hanger with 42in side discharge deck
      30in lawn seeder
      Brinly single bottom plow with cleavis or sleeve hitch
      50in grader blade
      Extra transmission
      36in rear tiller - leaks a little
      Full set of tire chains for each tractor
      Various body pieces
      7.5 cubic ft pull behind cart - may need tires
      Extra set of rims
      All required belts, pullys, brackets, manuals, too much to list.
