I called Superior and they told me that they still make this gearbox but can't sell to me directly. They manufacture it for Ariens.
They gave me a number but it failed. I went to their website and sent them a message.
I'm going to try to rebuild mine if they'll sell me the parts. It feels pretty good but there is some pretty good wear on the input shaft.
I'll get the keyed on if I can.
Wow!! Only 134 bucks??All four bearings in my Superior 211ADF 189 6 Gearbox are just regular conical roller bearings like Timken Set 14 (L44643 / L44610).
It's a common trailer wheel bearing size.
The oil seals are TC 1.00 x 1.5 x 0.25 Inch

I me not affiliated with this gearbox vendor in any way, but was glad to buy one of these since it's no longer offered by the OEM!
Hope it's OK to post a link.
Here is the gearbox I got in my mower now and I consider it a spare unit (the shafts are keyed) - will eventually reinstall the OEM Superior box.

It works good and changed the gearbox oil third time yesterday (around 20 hours of use so far).
Man, I may have to risk it.
doesn't look like you've bothered to install the vent. No issues? Gearbox get hot at all?
Wanna be sure this is right. The gearbox in your link shows to rotate clockwise in / counter clockwise out.
Looking at mine that seems right, just want to double check.
I'm sure that's what I need too.Yes that is what my deck needed, CW/CCW but they have CW/CW available.
I had to cut the output shaft little shorter in order to clear the deck and be able to change blade to blade belt - it was pretty easy to cut with angle grinder & cutting disk.
