New Replacement PEERLESS 855-006 Transaxle; Fits PermaGreen® ( 855-001 )
Please use the link at the bottom of the page and read our "Terms" before placing an Order. They include shipping information and payment options.
Offering this new replacement Heavy-Duty Peerless 855-006 Series transaxle for $947.00 that will fit most PermaGreen® Magnum units originally equipped with the 855-001 transaxle. (MSRP is $1,082.00) If you need a transaxle for a Triumph, read the TRIUMPH NOTE paragraph below. This transaxle is factory-lubricated, ready to bolt-in and run.
This in-line-shift, gear-drive, new-in-box Model 855-006 Series replacement Peerless transaxle has the horizontal 3/4"-diameter x 2-3/4" long input shaft. It has 1"-diameter axle shafts with full-length keyways, threaded 1"-8 USS coarse threads on the ends; the axles are unthreaded for approximately 4" and threaded for the outer 1-5/8". The overall end-to-end axle length is approximately 29"; the axle ends extend out from the case approximately 5-5/8" on each side. It also has the factory-installed grease zerks on the bottom side of each axle housing (Photo 7).
Since these axles have threaded ends instead of snap-ring grooves, you will need to hold each wheel hub on with two jam nuts, as shown in the 4th picture, or a Nylock® nut as shown in the 8th Photo. The nuts are included with the transaxle; the hubs are sold separately (see the 7th paragraph of the Ad). Please read the following NOTEs and let me know if you want the jam nuts or the Nylock nuts. Nylock nuts are preferred.
JAM NUT NOTE: Lightly coat the first few threads with blue Loctite prior to installing the nuts, then tighten the nuts against each other to allow a slight amount (0.010"-0.015") of side-play clearance of the thrust washers and hub against the axle bearing inside the housing. DO NOT use just one nut and tighten it against the wheel hub, and DO NOT tighten the inner nut against the hub while locking the outer nut against the inner nut, or you will damage the outer axle bearings and the differential inside.
NYLOCK® NUT NOTE: If using the Nylock nuts, tighten the nut to allow the same 0.010"-0.015" clearance as the jam nuts. Photo 8 shows a 0.015" feeler gauge between the nut and the outer thrust washer. DO NOT tighten it tightly against the wheel hub, or you will damage the outer axle bearings and the differential inside.
This transaxle has the short, square-end shift shafts with new shift arms included, as shown. (If the R-N-1-2 PermaGreen [R] shift arm is different from this one, you can remove this one and install yours. Some original PermaGreen shift arms are welded on; you'll need to carefully grind the weld off to preserve the square hole in the arm end.) It includes a new screw-terminal neutral-safety switch, as shown. It also includes a new case breather (remove the breather-hole plug the transaxle is shipped with and install the breather prior to installation). It does not include new wheel hubs or a new input pulley -- these should be able to be removed and re-used from the original transaxle.
If rust and corrosion prevent you from removing the wheel hubs or input pulley, and you also need hubs or the pulley, see my other Listings. I also have the Shaft Hardware Kit for the wheel hubs which includes the keys, spacers and washers -- this Kit sells for $24.00.
Shaft Hardware Kit ASSEMBLY NOTE: The Hardware Kit has two thick 1"-ID Stainless-Steel spacers and two thin 1"-ID washers. The 1/4"-thick spacers go against the case housing, inside of the wheel hubs; the thin washers go outside the wheel hubs, just inside the wheel-hub nut(s).
This transaxle has industry-standard mounting holes on 15-3/8" side-to-side centers x 2-1/2" front-to-back centers. The top-case engine-mount holes are on 3-1/8" side-to-side centers x 6-3/8" front-to-back centers. MOUNTING NOTE: The four engine-mount post holes above the gear-cluster end are pre-threaded to accept 5/16"-18 USS (coarse) bolts; the two transaxle-support post holes at the axle end of the housing are not threaded and are on 3-1/8" centers. The OEM uses self-threading bolts to hold the transaxle supports. 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.
The standard 855-001 Series transaxle Peerless makes for PermaGreen (R) has TWO Forward speeds -- the ratios are 3.08:1 for 1st and 2.33:1 for 2nd. This replacement 855-006 transaxle has THREE Forward speeds -- 3.08:1 for 1st (the same as the standard 855-001s), 2.13:1 for 2nd (just slightly faster than standard), and 1.50:1 for 3rd (faster yet for transport purposes). It also has Neutral and 1.40:1 Reverse. Input ratio is 5.44:1 and final-drive ratio is 8.03:1.
CHEMICAL APPLICATION NOTE: If you have your unit calibrated to apply chemicals according to your original 2nd-gear ground speed, you will need to recalibrate your application rate 9% more than what it is set now, since the 2.13:1 ratio of 2nd gear in this transaxle is 1.09 x faster that the 2.33:1 ratio of the 2nd gear in the original 855-001.
This new transaxle does come with the neutral-safety switch. It's shown in the first Ad picture, just next to the F-N-R shift arm. And it is the same Normally-Open circuitry as the 855-001 switch. However, it has the screw terminals instead of the spade-slide terminals on the 855-001 switch. If you don't want to switch terminals on the wire ends, you can re-use your switch, if it isn't corroded too badly.
This transaxle also has the optional differential lock, something the PermaGreen (R) transaxle does not have. The differential lock is spring-loaded in the disengaged position -- you have to move the second lever toward the axle to lock the differential. If you wish to use this feature, you need to install a control that will allow you to engage the lock. The hole at the end of the differential-lock lever moves 3/4" from Disengage to Engage.
MOUNT-BOLTS NOTE: I do not include the four bolts that hold the axle housings to the chassis. These are 5/16"-18 x 3" USS stainless-steel bolts that can be purchased locally.
TRIUMPH NOTE: Triumph models using the 855-001 transaxles have a drum mounted on the short splined shaft extending outside the case corner on the side opposite the input pulley. See Photos 5 & 6. The 855-006 does not have this splined shaft (See Photo 1). If you require the shaft and drum, see my other Ad for the 855-009 transaxle -- this is a direct replacement for the 855-001 Triumph 2-speed transaxle.
CORROSION PREVENTION NOTE: Some customers have asked if we have any way to prevent corrosion on these new transaxles, something that's difficult to do on a PermaGreen unit. Other customers have told us that spray truck-bed liner works. A good locally-available aerosol product is also RustOleum® LeakSeal Flexible Rubber Coating in Black, Part Number 265494, BarCode 0 20066 21874 4. Whatever you use, just make sure to cover any movable linkage parts so the coating doesn't hinder proper movement of necessary components.
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. Thanks!

Note that the warranty covers defects in material and workmanship -- it is not a blanket guarantee against abuse and mistreatment.

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.
