2008 T2220 broke in half

[The Haymaker]

Twitching a good sized log out of the woods by dragging it. I had the inladen forks in the air to give turning clearance and, when I lowered them, I unintentionally bounced them. The two combined stresses were more than the midsection could bear.

Anyone have a lead on a salvage unit? It doesn't look like this piece even shows on the fiche.

Worthington ag parts is a large company with several locations that specializes is used equipment parts. One problem might be identifying the broken part if it doesn’t show on a parts break down.

Good luck on your search.

Thank you. Yeah, the calls begin today. It appears it may share the part with several units.

Fun little project.

I found a housing at Worthington's in PA. It's supposed to ship the 15th.

No issues tearing it down, other than a steep learning curve without a service manual.

It doesn't appear anything else was damaged when the housing failed. I ordered 4 isolators that were bad on the steering column bracket and firewall, and the throwout bearing is slightly gritty, so that'll be done too.

Lot's of pictures, a few notes, and a death threat to my son if he moves any parts.

Wow, that's a lot of parts to keep track of!

Actually doesn't look like too bad of a project. Not an easy one by any stretch but challenging enough to keep it interesting.
Have you thought of any way to reinforce the area to prevent another break?

Better you than me.... Good luck. All States Ag Parts has a huge inventory of salvaged and parted out units as well.

I have. I've had the unit since new and worked it hard the whole time. There's a definite trigger here that I'll avoid recreating.

Everything has to be a saga.......

Got the "new" housing and Everything appeared the same. Swapped out the bearing on the 4wd shaft, added a coat of paint, installed the clutch shaft and fork. Bolted her up to the tranny.

Roll the engine back....... totally different bolt pattern and starter position.
