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...)
