Offering this new upgraded replacement "Made-in-the-USA" 'B'-Input 6-Forward-speed-plus-Neutral-&-Reverse MST 206-512C transaxle with full factory warranty at a 10% discount off the most-recent MSRP. This transaxle is factory-lubricated, ready to bolt-in and run. This transaxle was made to fit Murray and Murray-badged riding mowers such as Scotts that have the transaxle mounted with the axle ahead of the input pulley, shift arm and brake.
This in-line-shift, gear-drive, new-in-box upgraded replacement 5-speed Model MST 206-512C Peerless transaxle has a 5/8"-diameter x 1-3/16"-tall input shaft with keyway and snap-ring groove, 3/4"-diameter axle shafts with keyways and snap-ring grooves on the ends, and the short, square-top shift shaft as shown. The overall end-to-end axle length is approximately 31-1/4"; the axle ends extend out from the case approximately 5-3/4" on each 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. It also includes a complete new brake assembly, including the lever arm.
NOTE: The axle on the side opposite the brake on this replacement transaxle might be about 1/16" shorter than the original axle on your 206-512. If it is, carefully cut or grind the wheel-axle spacer to remove the necessary 1/16".
The "upgraded" part of this transaxle is the needle-bearing option installed inside the housing to support the ends of the axles and to reduce friction while increasing durability. The standard 206-512C does not include these needle bearings; the axles ride in the case-material "bushings."
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.
MOUNTING NOTE: The holes on the lower-rear 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) 3.00:1; 2nd) 2.07:1; 3rd) 1.50:1; 4th) 1:1; 5th) 0.67:1; and 6th) 0.60:1. Input pinion ratio is 2.31:1; final-drive/differential ratio is 9.89:1; and Reverse ratio is 2.08:1.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS 'B'-Input TRANSAXLE AS-IS on a rider that has the transaxle mounted with the input pulley, brake and shift arm AHEAD OF the axle or you will have 1 forward speed and 6 reverse speeds.
The Part Number for a standard MST 206-512C is 794675. Most-recent MSRP on this 794675 now-obsolete transaxle with the axle-bearing option was $464.00 FOB Indiana; my $418.00 price makes this new upgraded transaxle available to you with a 10% discount off retail.
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.
