New reverse gear

[tcbro]

Does anybody have a source for reverse idler gears? I need to replace it on my L-225. Kubota p/n 34200-2313-4. I can't seem to find any online.

Thanks

Try www.tarctorsmart.com. They have it at a little over $200. Leave out that last dash in the part number and search for 34200-23134.

Thanks for the link Bruce. It is obviously one I didn't know about. At $205 it's considerably more than the ~$70 I've heard others have paid for the same gear (but maybe a more popular tractor model). Since tractorsmart was kind enough to supply me with the current p/n I think I'll search for this new number awhile before I bite the bullet with them. Even at $205 I'm sure it's cheaper than having one custom made. Knowing that it is available puts my mind at ease.

Thanks again,
Tom

WOW! Now that's what I'm talking about! I have been to Weavers site before but for some reason it wasn't in my favorites list. It is now.

Thanks Val,

All of this has me thinking......... If you search this forum for reverse gear you will find a lot of people experiencing the same problem, 1/4"-3/8" worn off of the reverse idler gear. This seems to hit the earlier, L series particularly hard.

Has anybody figured out why this is such a problem?

Design flaw?

Assembly error?

Operator error?

Is there something I can do or something I can check to reduce the chance of this happening again?

Just wondering,
Tom

I too often wondered what could be done to avoid a repeat after the needed repairs. I am thinking of having the new components cryo treated to strengthen the replacement parts even if it is more mental insurance than a real substitute for proper operation. Most certainly not one of my favorite projects of all time.
