Hydrostatic Craftsman with Peerless Transmission

whizkidkyus · Apr 20, 2015

Hi ,

I have a Craftsman riding mower ,model number 917.270722 , about a 1999 model with a Peerless hydrostatic transmission according to the Sears repair center parts list . My question is how much fluid is supposed to be in this transmission and how do I check it and what type / brand of oil do I use in it ???? Thanks for any and all help !!

You need to provide more information on the trans I don't believe that Peerlees built a Hydrostatic transaxle but used another brand like an Eaton or whatever to drive their transaxle, are you wanting to service the hydrostatic unit or the transaxle? Here is a Peerless manual it maybe of some help.

Your tractor manual should tell what the oil capacity is for the hydrostatic drive and which fluid to use. My Wards tractor holds 4 quarts. There's no dip stick. Hal

I might be of some help if I knew what Peerless you have.
Should be a tag on right side down low that you can find
something like this. 205-023 A,B,C or 205 024 A, B, or C.
If you are doing searches look for VST-205 (variable speed transmission)
