Hey guys , the final drive/ axle housings on 4000 and 4000 tens are all alumium.
The center section (the final drive/range shift/PTO gear case) on the
4200/4300/4400 is definitely cast iron/steel. Not only is my unit's gear case
iron/steel, my parts book lists only one part number for the 4x00 for all
transmission types. That indicates the "transmission case" (YZ80608) is the
same for the whole series and all manufacture dates. Since the
4210/4310/4410 is an incremental upgrade to the other series, I would have
expected the use of the same rear castings. Did that later series switch to
aluminum for the center section? And the changes from the 4x10s to the
3x20s were much greater. Can anyone report on their own 3x20?
