wheelhorse2007 14 #1 Posted May 10, 2016 I listed this transmission in the Wheelhorse for sale forum, but was told it was not for a Wheelhorse. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like it to find a good home by someone that knows what it is and can put it to good use. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,257 #3 Posted May 10, 2016 There just may be a Wheel Horse connection. Maybe a Peerless used in the Elec-Tracs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,883 #4 Posted May 11, 2016 I think you are the proud owner of a Peerless (definitely a Peerless) 1200 series transmission. Page 5 of this manual shows the various pictures of the Peerless transmissions. If you read on page 3, paragraph (b)...it talks about the 1200 series being either left or right handed for the input shaft, depending on the manufacturer specs. I would say yours is "left" handed. The manual also talks about where, on the different transmissions, you might find any numbers. From what I read, my take is only the 1200 series came as either left or right handed. I have no idea if a left-handed, Peerless, 1200 series transmission was ever used by Wheel Horse. Maybe @gwest_ca has an idea...or a way to plug in a number to see where the trans was used. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,257 #5 Posted May 11, 2016 Could be right here. Wheel Horse bought GE in 1974. From what I've found I believe they used the Peerless 2300. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 49,194 #6 Posted May 11, 2016 Whatever it was from it was red & looks mid '60's vintage so what other tractors were red in that era?? Bet it would lend itself well for a too cool for school rat rod project, with those mounts on there like that a guy could hang it under small trailer springs shackled to a frame... with a 12 HP pullied for speed.....round hood....... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,107 #8 Posted May 11, 2016 Take a look at the "Rear Axle" page for these Toro models that are cousins to the Springfield tractors https://www.partstree.com/parts/search/models/?searchTerm=55402 There is also a 2nd page for the internals.

Racinbob 11,257 #16 Posted May 15, 2016 Not all of them woodchuck. Wheel Horse made them with the unidrive transmission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
