Aluminum granny gear

[djkelley]

Cleaning out the barn - found an aluminum reduction gear that I bought 20 years ago. I had never seen an aluminum one - it appears to have the same functional dimensions as the iron one. Any information anyone?

That is the creeper found on the MTD built gear drive tractors. As far as I know, the guts are identical to the cast iron versions. Have a couple of those on the shelf, myself.

580 and 1604 have a peerless trans, so they should not be included in that list. 1806 should be included.
