700 vs. Foote... Side by Side Comparison

(1/17) > >>

Squidd:
A lot of interest has been shown in selecting the "correct" tranny...With the Peerless 700 being the tranny of choice for racing...

Whenever someone posts a pic or mentions a foote 3 speed several will respond with "It's Junk"..."make a door stop out of it"...

And then a couple will respond with "Yeah, But...." "Sami's running one""Squidds running one" ..

And the the "Yeah But..." (light, governed, etc...)

So I thought I'd do a side by side tear down so we can all see just what the differences are and whether we should run 'em or junk 'em...depending on the application...

Obviously they have been placed and running in stock mowers of many different variety for many years, so we can assume they are not going to "blow up" just sitting in the garage...

But, how much power do we want to chance putting to them...and do they have a place in our builds...???

The "Victims"...782 Peerless 5 speed and standard Foote 3 speed of the 2010 or 2210 variety (exact model unknown at this point...)


 

Squidd:
First thing you notice is how "similar" they look at first glance...Other than the Foote being a "H" pattern 3 speed and the 700 a R-N-1-2-3-4-5 in line pattern...Output gear on same side



Case shape is almost the same, and mounting pattern "identical"...with 6 bolt pattern and input shaft locations interchangeable...



So if you have a Foote and later switch to 700...they will be a direct bolt in swap...

Squidd:
First differences we see are in the output shaft and drive gear...



The 700 has a 5/8" shaft with a 32 tooth spline "grabbing" the gear and an "C" clip holding it on..

The Foote has a 1/2" shaft with 1/8" moon key for the gear, same "C" clip retainer..



 But the actual counter shaft bushings are identical at 5/8"

Squidd:
On the top case we can see the identifying R-1-2-3 "H" pattern on the foot and the shifter shaft on the 700...

This particular Foote has a short shaft front shift adaptor, but they can also be forun with a more typical long rod and ball shift rod...

Squidd:
Opening them up we start to see some differences...

Foote has 8 bolts holding case halves together...700 has 6...

First glance, the Foote looks to have bigger wider stronger gears...!!



Gotta clean that :censored: out to really see what we have...
