My father has a BX23 and 1/2 of the midshaft was left on from the MMM. He turned the PTO on not knowing it was there. Well after a few seconds of slamming the bottom of the tractor the repair bill was about $1500.00 at the local dealer. I dont think he will do that again.

How many hours do you have on your BX? I taken it is not under warranty. Has any of the dealers given a reason why the housing would break when it is normal to shear pins?
Naw, don't ever use anything less than aircraft grade.
Less then 200h It's 4 years old. Dealer is closed today. Tuesday will be the day I realize just how much this is going to cost me. Without having the WSM to look at I'm thinking that the best plan is to remove the whole transmission assembly and have the dealer swap the case and put it back on myself. It's also going to ensure that the bearings are inspected properly etc.

Probably best plan. My reply did not address possible internal damage. Also get price diff between sending whole tractor vs transaxle...may not be worth your time to "explode" back half...

if out of warranty.. the rear of a salvage unit with front ed damage may be an idea.. places like wengers could put that on a pallate and freight it out.. etc.
