Broken Branson Spindle

[Langanobob]

A local mining historic site was unloading some artifacts with maybe 300 lbs in the loader bucket when the right front spindle broke off, taking the wheel and tire with it. There does not seem to be a Branson section here, does anyone know if this is a common failure? I wonder if Branson parts are still available.

This one is an older 20 series though, to be fair, the original 20 series. They really should've changed their naming after this series so it doesn't get so confusing.

To the OP, try contacting Dave's Tractor in Red Bluff, CA. From what I've read on the forum over the years, it's an awesome and very helpful dealer.

Yes, I bought my 3725 from Daves. They have been a Branson dealer for a long time and are a great dealer. They will ship parts.

Thanks all for your helpful replies. I will pass them on to the group that owns the tractor.

Edit: I talked to Dillon at Dave's Tractor and he provided a very reasonable quote for the spindle and associated bearings, seal and a few other miscellaneous related parts. The spindle is in stock at Branson's Georgia warehouse and Dave's has the rest of the stuff in California. Now, just have to get the project board of directors to approve the purchase. Thank you all again for your help.
