211-5 tranny 'lash'

Recommended Posts

CLJII

I have this mower with a body in very good condition, but had a frozen 11 horse B & S and about a 25 degree axle lash. I repowered it and am disappointed in the 'grab' that occurs when I engage the clutch.

I've never had one of these transmissions apart so am looking to someone with experience. Is there a 'fix' for this problem? Do  I replace the trans or just  live with it? [The trans is a Peerless 801-028].

Is the drive belt completely fabric covered?  You are describing what happens when a belt with raw rubber sides is used.

When I got the 211-5, there was no belt. I measured for the replacement and purchased a 'standard' V-belt from a local supplier [raw rubber sides]. Didn't know of a 'fabric covered' belt. Will give that a go.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Often referred to as an Aramid or Kevlar wrapped belt. Usually a buck or two more than the raw rubber sibling.
