Here is a pic of the damage inside the main gear box. There is a differential side gear and driving bevel gear with busted teeth. I would prefer to get this done right the first time and am looking for someone to ship it to for repair. Right now it is broken down and can be easily shipped in several boxes or palletized. I am looking for someone within driving distance of coastal South Carolina first then if that turns up nothing I will ship it. Anybody have any suggestions or words of wisdom?

Wayne, I think any halfway competent mechanic with transmissions and differentials could do this. I know without doubt I could do that but I'm far away in NY. Hopefully someone can help you that is closer. I had a little trouble seeing the damage in your pic but no doubt you are correct.
Just for ya yas I attached a pic with a parts ID on these Jinma front diffs I made up when one of the guys I helped via e mail rebuild. So far so good. He did real well and really had no experience but never gave up.

Harry,
That is a good pic you attached. My pic is actually showing the spider gears where I can see two gears will definately have to be replaced. I am an average mechanic but realize this type of repair can either be done right or you go back for a second round. Spring is on the way and the fish will begin to bite and I don't want to be working on my tractor!

The cross shaft pin is usually held in with a blind bolt. Removing this will allow the pin to be knocked out and the two spider gears can then be removed by rotating them on the side gears. The side gears are usually held in by a c-clip on most rear ends. I cannot tell on yours from the picture. There should also be bearing washers behind all four of the gears. I would replace these also since you are in there. Make sure you get all the metal out of the housing and differential unit. Otherwise you will be doing this again. I would do it for you if I lived closer.

I was the one who replaced the gears in my front end. I have been very slow about getting instructions out but if you decide to rebuild I could get you the pictures and some instructions. Harry was a big help or I never would have tackled the job.
If you are going to replace the parts I would check on pricing. One part I needed to order was $180 at 1 place and $60 at another.
