Yeah, sorry. I'm in a funk and I should know better. Not enough tractor time lately. Thanks for welcoming him to TBN, I missed that opportunity.

The real question is, what is the concern of Aluminum versus other material?

Why, steel is better, of course! Just look at my Power Trac. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think there has been some discussion in the past about threads pulling out of aluminum and aluminum castings not being as strong as steel and the weight issue, as well. I'd have to go back and search the threads.

the transmission and rear axle housing are cast steel
