The Hole Saw Locker! Peerless 2300 Differential Lockup!

In this episode we disassemble a Peerless 2300 transmission. Then we thoroughly clean it inside. The differential gets "locked up" by welding hole saw slugs between the spider gears to the axle gears. After that we reassemble the transmission, with a detailed showing of how to put it back together. Come along with us on this shop adventure and learn something new!

This transmission swap/ lock was a lot more work than I thought it was gonna be! The video definitely came out on the longer side, but it was a lot of footage! Thanks to everyone who tuned in for the Premiere too!

Man I have John Deere 210 with the peerless 2300 or 2332. Really can read the tag. Dude your video helped put that joker back together. I’m just getting into these mud mowers. Thanks for all the knowledge you share

Nice locker design. Should be stout enough for mud mowing. I've actually watched 2x now. (Watch once and comment second time) Just after 19:00 when you do your patented hand slap sound, it was in perfect time to Chud's wheel in the video on the TV. 🙂 Hiccup... I caught Li'l Red on the TV back there in reassembly. Boy that's an oldie. I guess I lucked out that my 2300's have disk brakes on both instead of drums. Oh, I saw me and Kal. Excellent Assembly instructional! BTW that is a sweet hat Colt has. Hope this transmission works out where you do not have to hold the gear in place. Interesting, my 2300's don't have that top plug where you vented and filled. That would have been nice with mine. I ended up drilling a hole and tapping the shifter cone. Heading up the hill.... nice how a good locked trans performs going up the trail. 🙂 I bet it even felt safer! I saw you were still holding the shifter on the steep part coming down. I wonder if you still need to? Also, that muffler glow looks mean at 1:19:15 ...and sorry for the ADHD comments tonight. I felt I was all over the place with them. Great Video!

AAGH! Making us wait! It's ok, I'll be jumping back online for it later. 👍 Hole Saw locker?
