Offering this new "Made-in-the-USA" 'B'-Input 5-Forward-speed-plus-Neutral-&-Reverse MST 205-529E transaxle with full factory warranty at an 11% discount off MSRP! This transaxle is factory-lubricated, ready to bolt-in and run. This transaxle replaces the Peerless MST 205-529, -529A, -529B, -529C and -529D. It includes the optional heavy-duty needle-bearings that support the axle ends inside the axle housings, something the standard transaxle does not have.
"B-Input" refers to the fact that this transaxle mounts in the mower with the axle in front of the pulley, brake and shift shaft.
This in-line-shift, gear-drive, new-in-box 5-Forward-speed (+ Neutral and Reverse) Model MST 205-529E Peerless transaxle is manufactured to fit the Stiga brand of rear-engine and mid-engine ride-on mowers sold in the UK and other European countries. It has a 5/8"-diameter x 1-3/16"-tall input shaft with keyway and snap-ring groove (includes the key and snap ring), 3/4"-diameter axle shafts with keyways and 5/16" (8 mm) through holes on the ends, and the short, square-end shift shaft as shown. The overall end-to-end axle length is approximately 27-3/4"; the axle ends extend out from the case approximately 4" on the left side and 4-1/8" on the right side. The case has two sets of industry-standard mounting holes -- the close-together holes are on 13" side-to-side centers x 1-3/4" front-to-back centers; the far-apart mount holes are on 16-1/4" x 2-1/2" centers.
As previously noted, this transaxle has the heavy-duty needle-bearing option installed on the ends of the axle shafts, inside the housing. These bearings were not factory-installed on the 205-529-through-205-529D transaxles; that's why this 205-529 has the 'E' suffix. These bearings reduce the friction of the axle running inside the normal case bushings compared to a regular 205-529, allowing for better longevity and durability.
This transaxle also includes a new neutral-safety switch as shown in the pictures as well as a complete new brake assembly, including the brake lever.
Being new, this transaxle is covered by the Peerless 2-year Consumer Use/90-day Commercial Use/30-day Rental Use Limited Warranty within the USA and the 1-year Consumer/90-day Commercial/30-day Rental Limited Warranty outside the USA. A dated receipt will be provided to validate the warranty, dated to reflect its arrival at your place so you won't lose warranty coverage for travel time. Note that the warranty covers defects in material and workmanship -- it is not a blanket guarantee against abuse and mistreatment. A copy of the Peerless Warranty will also be included with the transaxle.
The Part Number for a standard MST 205-529E is 794681. Current MSRP on this 794681 transaxle is $442.00 FOB Indiana USA; my price makes this new upgraded transaxle available to you at an 11% discount!
MOUNTING NOTE: The holes on the lower-front corners of the transaxle are not threaded, since the mower manufacturer uses 5/16"-18 self-threading bolts to hold the front support(s) to these corners. If you are re-using your original bolts or equivalent OEM bolts, make sure they have clean threads when re-installing these supports. If you do not have the original-style bolts and are using standard machine-thread bolts for these front-corner supports, you will need to carefully tap these holes to match the threads of your bolts. WARNING: If you plan on pre-tapping these holes, the case material is only about 0.060" (1/16") thick at the back of these holes, so measure the hole depth and set your tap accordingly, or you will break through the case into the gear-lube area.
For the technically-minded Buyer, the Forward-shift gear ratios are: 1st) 2.64:1; 2nd) 1.30:1; 3rd) 0.90:1; 4th) 0.67:1; and 5th) 0.60:1. Input pinion ratio is 2.31:1, and final-drive/differential ratio is 9.89:1.
FRONT-ENGINE RIDER NOTE:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS 'B'-Input TRANSAXLE AS-IS ON A FRONT-ENGINE RIDER (where the transaxle is mounted with the input pulley, brake and shift arm AHEAD OF the axle) or you will have 1 forward speed and 5 reverse speeds.
QUESTIONS? Please -- before you ask a "Will-it-fit?" question -- compare the measurements of your transaxle to the dimensions I have listed above for this transaxle, and note the Model and Serial Numbers off your current transaxle. Yes, that may require safely jacking up your mower, removing a wheel, then crawling under the mower with a scale, tape measure, flashlight and notepad, as well as a rag to carefully clean off dirt and grease. In your "Question," also include the Model and Serial Number off the mower. Thanks!

FEEDBACK: Our Feedback is 100%, which is good. The latest Feedback, however, is in December of 2011, which may raise questions. The reason for this is because we had to drop PayPal as an Approved Payment Method in our Store due to eCrater’s restrictions, and the only way Feedback can be left is if we show PayPal as an Approved Payment Method and the Buyer pays with PayPal through the eCrater Checkout. For this reason, there are no Feedbacks since December of 2011, even though we’ve had hundreds of satisfied customers since then. If you would like to get a referral from a recent customer near you, please let us know. We have nothing to hide, and your satisfaction is our priority.
