Okay, I made a great buy on my used TC40 becouse it needed some repairs/maintenance. I've fixed and replaced most of the problems and only have one thing left...one big thing
The previous owner broke the front pinion gear . I have the two axle shafts and differential in the garage and have just been using the tractor as a 2wd.
The parts I can get from Messick's for about $600.
The question is, how difficult a job is it to replace the dif? I have changed transmissions and transfer cases on trucks but never gears, I was afraid of setting backlash wrong and burning up gears.
Has anyone done this (or similar) job before.
Thanks for the laughs, thanks for the help.
