Same here!

Well if I still drank, Old #7 would be sitting beside me as I type this.
I found the gear that broke it's tooth, under the shifter, now what do we do?
I've looked in the service manual and it's not real clear on how to get at this gear, I'm sure some of you have done this before, but it's real spooky for me thinking about getting everything apart and put back together, and working
How could this have broken? Hard telling I suppose, but could someone explain to me where to start?
Also finally got the axle pin out.
Oh and my shop partner Gunner had a visit to the vet yesterday and got some new headgear, dummy keeps licking his leg raw, always something.

Sorry about your tooth!!

As to how it happened, we had a TD-9 that broke 1ST gear so often, we kept a spare!!

Typically it came from trying to extract a stump, rolling into a hole put the slack of the transmission in one direction, then the impact of hitting the stump with the engine taking out that slack would pop a gear.

The belly pan had to come off to change the gear, it weighed more than your Cub Cadet!!

That was a long time ago, the gear was pretty big, cost $35 at a dealer, and they kept them in stock!!

I hear that. We have a earth moving company my grandfather started back in 42 or 45 don't remember for sure, but it seemed they were always tearing the trans out of something, back then they were mostly D-6, D-7's and I remember a big pig of a Fiat Allis 21 B I think it was, and pulling the pan off that to get at the trans, was a job.

Ha ha the poor guy with the cone of shame! Lol
Well my father had a gear like that and depending if you can get another if not you could do what he did he actually welded a replacement and then ground it down to match it worked for a good while till we swapped out the tranny for a lower geared one! Not a great solution but it would get ya threw in a pinch!

The transmission will have to come pretty far apart; both that gear and its mate need to be replaced.

It's possible there was a manufacturing defect, but judging by the wear on the other teeth, it looks like someone was shifting on the fly, which you cannot do without risk of damage like that on a transmission with straight-cut gears and no synchronizers.

Matt, I know it's nothing I did, I haven't had the tractor long enough. Could I just put it back together and run it? I've looked at some prices of gears and I would be cheaper off getting another tractor and rob the trans out of it.
I know it would be a risk either way, but boy this looks like more than I care to chew off. Your thoughts
