Justonemore 7 #1 Posted 9 hours ago Greetings from Central Mass. My name is Dana Kennison and am the proud owner of several horses. What finally brought me here today is that I am in need of help with a broken transmission.. Bad year here in the north east to be without my trusty snow pusher. I will be posting a want ad today and when . winters claw finally relaxes I will be offering some of my collection of parts and other stuff. All for now. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justonemore 7 #6 Posted 7 hours ago The Peerless 3 speed in my 1971 800 Special decided to stop transmitting about a month ago. No forward or reverse movement only the clacking of the final drive. More adventures in tractoring.!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 19,276 #7 Posted 6 hours ago The deep snow we've had over the last couple of weeks can test those transmissions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justonemore 7 #14 Posted 49 minutes ago Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement. I have a B-100 that pushed a snowblower for years but it will need some work. I don't really push a lot of snow. Use it to finish up after the blower. It will work out somehow. Meanwhile I'm chasing a Gravely walk behind around the property pushing a dozer blade. Better than nothing but I miss my Special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easton Rich 978 #15 Posted 30 minutes ago I wonder if you could 8spd swap it? Never had a 800 special, but I do know the 8spds are bulletproof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easton Rich 978 #17 Posted 25 minutes ago I thought they were the horizontal 8hp gen start Briggs? I could be completely wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
