Tecumseh Peerless 6845-P91

Anyone got info on the above hydrostatic transaxle? I got leaking fluid so I am needing know at what fluid is used in it. And an IPL and service manual that covers this unit would also be nice. I figuring it is just the seals so I should pull that info off the seals themselves hopefully.

The Hydro Module is only sold as a unit the differential uses 80W90 oil. Axle oil seal is probably 788088a. If you remove the Hydro Module you need a special tool to realign it to the differential. Whole transaxle 2000-002a I think.

Oh great another non serviceable unit then. It is the Hydro that is leaking, the 2000 series axle assembly is dry. Do you what oil is used in the Hydro unit as I just top it and send the customer on his merry way until the unit fails.

May need to figure out how to replace it with a Tuff-Torq hydro unit later. Very nice looking 2001 Murray model and just to see die because of lack of parts. Of course the dang thing has Tecumseh engine on it too.

Could use 730228A

Then I can use Mobile One 15W50 Synthetic.

Apparently some manufactures are so afraid that some lowly non-factory trained tech can repair their equipment they will not even provide IPLs. Just want a dealer to repair them when the dealer hire will someone that can't figure out when they got a bad spark plug. Sometimes I think OEM want all of us to be dummy techs [part replacers] just so they can sell whole units.

It is like Hydro Gear that refuses to provide model specific IPLs with the correct part numbers. All they sent me was a generic listing for ZC/ZD series which lead me to order the wrong fan. Now I got to reorder the correct fan. They still won't tell me the correct PN but I was able to figure out what the correct number is without them. Just irritating that I ended with the wrong fan for the one I working on. I going to email HG again getting a little more insisting about getting the right PNs for the one I working on. I done had three of them in the shop this year but I will need the PNs for both the left and right units not just the left. Most of the parts will be the same but there are few that are directional specific like the housing.

You have a Gardner account right? Use their parts lookup in their portal, pretty sure Hydrogear is still there...

Gardner sells the HG parts but no look-up.

But I find they have the Peerless IPL look-ups. The hydro pump is held on by only three screws and no adjustment of position other than the slight looseness around the screws.

PS found the problem the Peerless. It was the fill/vent tube grommet. I can easily turn the barbed adapter around in the grommet. I ordered the grommet from Partstree. Cheaper than going thru Gardner which would have back ordered it anyway.

I can e-mail you the service instructions if you would like.

Email sent even though I didn't need to separate things this time around as the grommet is what that is leaking, about half the oil is missing.

Is the tecumseh engine single or vtwin
