Are there any part #s on the a gear or any gears?

Try an MTD dealer.

Your tractor has MTD's version of the vari-drive. Dual belts on a moveable pulley for speed changes, and a Forward-Neutral-Reverse rear axle, belt connected. Real Axle is Peerless 910 series.

Your rear axle is a 618-086, now obsolete and replaced by 918-0551A which costs about $400+. MTD says parts aren't available, but a Peerless dealer should be able to get you the Bevel Gears 778221 (now 778166) at about $25 each. They are same both sides.

ggoyeneche- do you have an application chart on these per chance? I somehow have the belief that they aren't all the same- I could be wrong though...

The model #6180307 is stamped on the bottom of the axle the I took off the mower. I appreciate all the help.

dodgeman, I have the IPL. If you PM me I can forward it to you.

What do you mean pm. I am looking for free info. Thanks I found a gear and an axle but would still like the internal parts list for this axle. Thanks again

I meant Private Message me so I can attach the list to an e-mail. I can't figure out to post it here, not computer literate. How much more free do you want?

Tomplum,

Got tractor information from Order Tree. The gear partumbers are from IPL I had in my archives. I sent you PDF via email.

Dodgeman,

If you want people to send you stuff, you need to enable email feature on Garden Web.

Canguy or Ggoyeneche I must not be seeing something. The only parts list that I see reference the complete assy. I know that MTD has had spec'd various single speed t/a's- not all of which are shown to be serviceable from them. I'm aware of the Peerless link, but not how to know what Peerless was used in each case. Is it just in the parts distributor's notes, is there a bulletin on the subject that I'm not familiar with?

I pulled it off a disc at work.

"I pulled it off a disc at work"
So you are saying that on the MTD IPL on Partsmart, it shows the breakdown? MTD or Peerless #s? It would be good to know if there is a spec sheet that shows these.

We don't have access to MTD on Partsmart, as a distributor we obtain the disc from them. FWIW, a number of OEM's such as Kohler and Dolmar are no longer supporting Partsmart so their IPL's are not reliable.

Thank you canguy for the diagram, it was very helpful and I got the gear that I needed and the mower works like new again. It only had 149 hrs on it so I could not see getting rid of it. Thanks again for the help.
