For some reason I needed to buy another project because 20+ tractors sitting outside isn't enough.
Long story short, I got it running but the drive line is pure crap and this thing has so much grease and oil caked on it I said "Hell, I need to pull this thing apart and freshen it up".
I got the rear pulled and will do the drain holes in the case and all the other normal stuff but for some reason I like to change all the bearings out on my rear PTO's when I get them......I know, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" but I'm an idiot. Anywho I ended up breaking the cast iron bearing bracket as seen here. I still haven't got the bearings out yet but it is soaking in Kroil and I hope I can get them out. What are your thoughts on getting this repaired? I have never welded cast iron before. I do have an email in to Jeff on getting some other parts made that I need so I asked him if he could repair it.
