Upgrade NowWell - if you read the brochure with the picture of the guy wiping sweat off his neck, it says Peerless transmission.
I believe almost, if not all, Peerless transmissions are sealed and not serviceable - meaning if you have any problem you just junk it.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it
based on the parts lists from CC the 1050 diff/trans is the same as the 580, 582, 1604 and 1606 diff/trans. I have no idea if they are peerless, good, bad, non serviceable etc. there is a parts breakdown which to me makes them serviceable. they were installed in at least five models so used parts should be available. I have never had a tractor/mower that was not repairable - only things that were not worth the cost or effort to repair them. that is a personal decision - what is it worth to you and do you want to get a little dirty?
If you are happy with the 1050 (i would be it looks good and its not green) use it in good health and enjoy your time spent in the yard.

Its a 2300 peerless. 4 speeds forward and 1 reverse. They are used in a ton of garden tractors. Very trouble free.
Here is the cub cadet parts image of 1050 diff/TranI'm not sure how you guys are getting it wrong, but you are. The 1050 parts lookup (be careful, there are some later recycled variations of that model number) shows the 3-speed rear that matches the pictures the OP has posted.
I have heard the those rears are not as sturdy as the IH cast iron ones from which they are inspired, but personally I would not worry one bit with 10 hp in front of it.
Just out of curiosity. what does your 1050 deck look like and is it 38 or 44? the sales brochure shows what looks to be a two bladed deck. the CC parts diagrams show only three bladed decks unless I am reading it wrong which clearly I have done in the past! haha.I don't know much about that model but here's a little info:
