Getting to the party late. Have a strong suspicion this is the same tractor/problem Winston wrote me about on another forum. For sure the ring gear is damaged and there is the question about what caused the shearing of the bolts and why/how 3 bolts were found laying loose in the case.
It probably doesn't matter here but maybe the info will be useful to some at some point. Yanmar offered an option for front drive only, to reduce the turning radius. Ernie had one and he let me drive it, sure did reduce the turning radius. The main purpose here is to make people aware of this option and if you end up with an issue like this, first make sure the tractor does or doesn't have this option and if it does, make sure it isn't engaged.
We sure lost one of the good guys when Ernie got out of the business and moved to the East coast.

well, worth a try, but the gear has 40 teeth.
And I appreciate your trying. Just curious, what model did it come off?

any luck finding a gear ?
Yes, I have found 3 sets but still in pricing process on all parts. I will probably update when all ducks are in a row.
