barns1 57 #1 Posted June 8, 2010 3spd rearend in my A90 Special is making noise. Does anyone know if an 6spd dual range will fit? Any major mods needed? I have a spare 6spd sitting around. Thanks for any suggestions. Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #2 Posted June 8, 2010 It's not a direct bolt in... your A-90 special "should" have a Peerless tranny, not a Wheel Horse Uni-drive. Of course... with modifications...nearly anything is possible. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barns1 57 #3 Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks. The frame looks to be similar, that's why I was wondering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #4 Posted June 9, 2010 The front of the frame is the same in the back where the trans mounts is diff, I think it uses the same trans as a 800 special if so I have a spare trans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barns1 57 #5 Posted June 9, 2010 Is the trans you have a Peerless and is it in good condition? This is for the wife's tractor. And yes I am very fortunate to have a wife that loves these tractors. Makes it alot easier when I want to buy another one. We have had the A90 Special since the early 80's and has been an excellent tractor. It has always started almost before you turn the key, cold weather or hot. I know I'm stretching things a bit but it has been an excellent tractor and it fits the wife just fine.

Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted June 10, 2010 My brother was using the tractor so as far as I know the trans is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty57 2 #7 Posted June 11, 2010 The 1971 Special 800 and the A-90 were the only tractor to use the Peerless 1400 transaxle that I know of. I have three special 800"s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
