Question Peerless Transaxle Lube

Does anybody know if synthetic gear oil can be used in a Peerless transaxle and if so what viscosity? If that isn't a good idea, what is the correct lubricant to use in this transaxle? Thanks for the advice.

Use EP2 grease like the stuff you put in a grease gun. I like to use high temperature grease but it probablyy doesn't matter. With the grears in the case, just star pumping it in or squeasing it out of the tube, Just be sure to get the grese packed all around under and in everything in the case. Also, I( like to grease where the shifter comes out too. A small engine mechanic I know even likes to drill and tap for a greas zerk so he can fill them up with a couple of squirts occasionally.
Good Luck!

P.S. It takes a whole lot of grease!!!!

If this is the 2300 series Peerless that's on the 1100, 482, 582 Special etc., then the recommended lube is 80/90 weight gear oil. The dyno oil works just fine in these transaxles, and should last a long time without changing it. If it's the lighter duty series, then I'm not sure.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
