Hi,
A quick flashback: a few days ago I bought a model 130. Little John has been seating in the middle of the farm field for two years farmer says to me. Frozen to the ground. Engine oil as black as a roof tar. But it's all there and very little corrosion on a sheet metal and deck. He couldn't start it up so I bought it cheap. Brought it back home, put it in the garage and thinking "a what a heck, give it another crank" little John fired right up. Big puff of grey smoke came bellowing out so I killed it right-away not wanting to potentially damage anything in the engine. So here it is...my spring project!
I've got a question about transmission. It's Peerless 801-038A 5-speed + reverse and I bet that it never saw a fluid change in the last 25+ years but seem to be working just fine. How would you go about flushing it out and putting new fluid in? Would you split it in half to clean it out or just change fluid as recommended in manuals and forget it?
