Re: ME29 transaxle info
I actually found a second cart with a good 4 stroke rear end and the shifter mechanism/linkage was all there and working properly. Didn't have to fabricate anything and I have a spare rear end now. It's always like that. I find what I need after a lengthy search and then another one pops up right away. I was lucky too that both rear ends were for coil spring suspension so no mods required to mount them. They just bolt right in.

Re: ME29 transaxle info
I know this is an old thread (but at least I did a search.... lol), what years had the coils for the ME29?
I want to be on the lookout for one somewhere close to me and knowing what years will bolt right up would be helpful. Thanks, Ron |

Re: ME29 transaxle info
Hi I had a quick question, does anyone know what is the weight of just the ME29 transaxle with out the axles and axle tubes?
also do you know where i could find aftermarket gears to change the ratio to a deeper gearing like a 15:1 or something close. Thanks |

Re: ME29 transaxle info
The whole thing weights well over 100lbs., very hard to lift off the floor. I'd guess the axles and tubes are going to be in the 40-50 lb range minimum. These are just guesses. I can't find anything with the exact weights associated. Probably the only way is to measure them independently.
So....you want a really really low gear? What kind of rig is this for? |

Re: ME29 transaxle info
speaking of gears
is there a list of axles with ratios both gas and battery to the guy who wants lower/slower gears el axles are mostly lower then gas and that brings up the question will any gas axles swap gears with the lower el axles or other internal bits ? |

Re: ME29 transaxle info
I think you're pretty close Slo. I've picked up an ME29 transaxle with the axles and hubs/brakes still attached and the weight feels about the same as two 50 lb bags of fertilizer (I'm an old farm boy).
