Hello all,first time on this forum. I bought a bx22 with a cracked housing on the transmission. I am going to attempt to swap it out. It looks like I'm going to get the entire axle set up when I take it out, I see how to take the pto and drive shaft out. I"m wondering what I'm going to run into on the top of the tranny, under the seat that I can't see. Has anyone out there done one of these before? Any tips where I should look to buy the replacement besides my local dealer? any help would be great. thanks in vermont

I don't know your situation or the materials involved at all. That said, would it make any sense to consider welding the case instead of replacing it?

Look on ebay, I've found many a case on there, and buying the whole axle assembly for just the case is real expensive.
If you don't have the WSM get it, it will help tremendously with all the little details.
One thing that really helps is wash everything before you start working on it, much easier when you can see all the bolts and not have crud getting into an open case.
Curious how it got cracked. Was it a broken rear diff lock and a pin got between the case and a drive gear?
I have purchased a lot of parts from Townline Equipment in Plainfield NH. They also have a store in Pittsford VT. Nice people to deal with, and they are a small family owned business. Prices were very fair, and sometimes they were even less than the big mail order Kubota parts dealer.
