here is a pic of a jackshaft , thanks Squidd , but if you have already welded your diff. your not running a transaxel and that would be the only time you would need a jackshaft .

I have the foote transaxle Squidd posted where he commented how skinny it is. Will peerless shift keys work in this?

Probably not....considering there are about 6-8 different styles of peerless shift keys out there...

Better to find the correct part number and get the dana/foote parts required....

ive got some pics of my hydro static that i need to post to see if anyone has something that would fit in the right way. it is a techumseh, so a peerless should mount up, right? i also have another problem with it... the stock transaxle is 38.5 inches wide, and ive been told that the widest you could have is a 38, so that is another size problem i hope you guys can help me with.

If it is what i think it is.  There should only be F-N-R in that transaxle.  If you can find a way to overcome the massive gear reduction then im sure you could race prep it and race it.  Otherwise there pretty heavy duty as far as off-roading goes, ive put mine through alot of abuse.  Better off going the peerless 700 route or a regular transaxle.

thanks. i think that ill sell that one and try to get a 700 off of corypeirce88. and yes, it only has a f-n-r. i think that i could fix the gear problem. i am running a 17.5 hp flathead, so with a little work i think the gears shouldnt be that much trouble. ill crack it open and see what i can, and if i can work with it ill save the rush for getting a 700. i know it will bolt up, so ill try to figure it out. do you have any tips or tricks?

I dont have any tips or tricks other than good luck!  You Might want to get a solid 3/4 inch axle and replace the differential thats there.  Then you might be able to use a chain like the 700s do.  The biggest problem is with the gears on the shaft its a really large gear then the drive gear is small so if you decrease the driven gear you have to increase the driver but the case dosnt allow for that.  So if you could use a chain or cut and reweld the case.
