yep it sure will. its a 700 series peerless. look on the post jerb did about the steel gear 700s stickied at the top of this section. you will need steel input and bevel gears if your tranny doesnt have them. follow the thread george has about race prepping one and you will be set

They are not strong enough inside to handle anything over a governed motor.

I've got one in a mower currently with a stock engine. I've been told they will hold up to a single but not to a twin.

   I just pulled a transaxle out of an older Dynamark(no motor,was single cylinder).The transaxle has a factory sticker on the case above the shift lever reading " Foote 0189717 " and the bottom has Foote 3264 cast into it(like the one pictured on the first page of this thread).I also have a Murray 12.5 hp B&S, 5 speed transaxle.It's marked "Wide Body " on the back.It'll be a couple of hours before I can ID the transaxle,the whole mower is parked between 2 race cars close enough that I've gotta moved the cars to get it out.Could anyone give me the low-down on the Foote transaxle ? Thanks.

is a Peerless MOD639A axle more of a puller axle or a racer?

If it's a Peerless 600 then I'd say more of a racer.

can anyone tell me if snowblower trannys have reverse? I found one that has five 'detents' but want to know if it's a 3speed or 4speed. Gary
