Broken SB-59" front yoke questions.

[OrangeJbird]

Somehow picked up a 5" rock and broke the yoke to the worm drive.
I'm pretty sure I can press and weld the yoke. But I need to find the cross-bearing to mate it back to the other yoke. I don't want to pay $185.00 for part #AM38891. Does anyone know of a cross & bearing that would fit? maybe the one from the driveshaft into the gearbox?
Hope the pics help explain my dilemna.
Thanks for looking.

You should be able to go NAPA or most any auto parts store and get the cross and bearings. Just take the old in and they can match them. As far as welding the yoke, I'd be surprised if you can get the bearing bores in line good enough to not eat the bearings up in short order. I bought yokes and cross kits from Baum Hydraulics when I adapted my snow blower to the kubota. Yokes of that size would be about $30 plus shipping.
