Front axle broke off

[maxchch]

Hi. Does anyone know where to find a replacement front axle assembly for a Yanmar 1610D? I hit a rut at the deer lease and the front differential ripped completely off of the tractor. The cast housing gave way and ripped open, exposing the gears. I live in Lafayette LA. Not even sure it is worth repairing.

Might try these guys. They have both new and salvage parts.

Thanks
I found an 1800D for parts. Does anyone know if that front end is the same one.

I had a Mitsubishi Tractor that broke a axle housing because the loader was overloaded (I guess).
Looked all over and none available.
Found a old hotrod forum that reccommended a welding shop that specialized in welding cast iron.
Mailed it to them and it was fixed in just a couple days. It looked like it was new off the shelf. An amazingly nice repair.

This is probably your best shot at fixing yours. If you cant find a place PM me and I will give you the shop.
Not a big deal to ship it for a great fix.
