I'm seriously looking into Mahindras for several tractors.....this is good customer service to say the least. Another plus for Mahindra in my book.
Looking at the gear design itself. the lightening/handling holes were too close to the hub and the web is too thin. Obvious flexing occured as other posters have pointed out.....what i see is a very repairable situation. if in the future the SHTF, i would not be afraid to weld it back together and use a reinforcing disc for the patch on it. Seeing the part is avaialble, i wouldnt do it now...just saying if the SHTF and you were on your own with it.
