    I have the same machine, how did you find out it was time to pull the trans? Usually it's when all four tabs shear that you split the tractor. Any chance of welding it? I'm afraid it's going to be really hard in the near future to source the parts for these beasts.

    the seal was leaking i mean it was really leaking so it was not a real suprise to me that the tabs were broken off no other damage though. the hub is 900. bucks though im going to see if the machine shop can fix any idea on parts machines ???
