Looking to part out my B7800....the pto broke and tore apart the inside and cracked the housing...not sure if anyone has a good resource for parts other than local dealer...was told I need to spend around $5000 to fix?!?!?!?! Engine, loader, gannon, tires are all GREAT......Own many other tractors and dont want to spend the money only paid around $18k new???? Any help would be great

Yea, what he said. That was some moment or two of incredible violence. How'd you bust that machine?

It was running a tiller attachment......I have the tractor at the local dealer....its torn apart and the repair bill is $5k....ouch

I did not a customer did....he was running a tiller attachment....tilling a school yard sand box.....i think he must have hit a footing that holds the swing set on one side of the tiller and thats when it broke?

Did the tiller have a slip clutch?

No....just a shear pin? obviously did not shear at the right time
