B8200 FWD repair

[VashonFarmer]

I've got a rather beat up old B8200 that has long since lost the 4WD. Cracked the diff open today to find the pinion gear is worn smooth. The parts manual lists that as an assembly with the ring gear (part no. 67810-99122). So far, so good. It only took a short while to get it out, I figure I've got it made.

Not so. It seems that those parts have been discontinued. I've looked around for used parts but no luck so far (H&S Industries, West Kentucky Tractor Parts).

Does anyone have a favorite place to look for old parts? What are the chances that this old girl will ever run in 4WD again?

Thanks,
Andy

Wengers of Myerstown Penn. They don't show the part online but they still may have it. Give them a call. And Service dept Vic may jump in here with an Idea or two. Stick with it and be patient, there are parts out there. Dusty

Thanks guys, I'll keep it up. Worst case, I'm left with a 2WD tractor that I spent very little money on.

Vic, in cross referencing, do the part numbers remain the same across all models? So if I look thru parts lists for various machines, I just look for the same number?
