Driveline / peerless MST206 565 questions
« on: June 13, 2021, 06:05:17 am »
hello to everyone  introduced myself in your  newbie section  i am a big gear head  veteran of many sand rail builds      my brother and i have run a small custom chassis fabshop for a lot of years  in our off 
2019 i was hit from behind by a drunk driver while out training on my bicycle  i am spending the rest of my life in a wheelchair
the project is a gas powered mobility scooter  i refuse to be limited by battery reserves ,i have no need of being able to take this inside stores ,it will not be run in rain or snow , i am not looking for a go kart something i can jump on and run across town to see my folks cruise thru the conservation area next to my home   etc
initially we were going to go with a hydro static drive but  have come around to the idea of using a geared trans ( i now have a very clean tuff torq k61c transaxle for sale)

so  what i have is a 14.5 ohv single briggs 3 in total acutally   the afore mentioned mts206  i bought 3 complete tractors for 200 bucks

so this mts is brand new not a reman   it will not ever see any of the jerky back and forth motion of cutting grass it will always be operated on smooth paved roads or fine hard pack gravel bike paths

again i am sorry about all the stupid questions but you can't learn anything if you don't ask questions
1) does this trans need to be clutched between every shift
2) i am looking for a max ground speed of 22mph rear tires are 18" dia 
3)how much can i exceed the rated 2000 rpm input shaft speed
4) i will have a vertical jack shaft in the build      hoping to set input shaft speed to drive at approx 2500rpm while only turning the motor around 15/1600 rpm  is this possible

i will be posting more questions in a day or 2

thanks

hello to everyone  i am from waterloo ontario canada  i am a master electrician and a retired police officer  2 years ago while i was out training on my bicycle i was ht from behind by a drunk driver this has put me in a wheelchair for the rest of my life  before the accident i was into sandrails street cars and muscle cars
 so now that the pity party has finally ended   i need to move on with my life    i have always been good with my hands and an excellent fabricator with very decent welding skills

i have a special project in mind that will be utilizing  peerless  MTS206-565 and need to educate myself about this unit   as i have limited knowledge about this transaxle         and no it is not a racing lawmower

can someone direct me as to where i can get as much info on the mts206 as possible  and i am talking questions like do you need to use clutch to go through the gears
thanks in advance for your time
