Hi - I have a Taskmaster TM432 for sale. It is a 32HP tractor with loader.
I bought this tractor new from the importer in Creswell Oregon. I have had this tractor for about 5 years. I have had numerous problems with the tractor over the years, generally i have been able to repair it. Generally my repair is much better than new.
Right now the rear differential housing is cracked. A new housing is available from the dealer in Creswell for about $350. Unfortunately they want $3000 to install it. Somebody who has time and the ability to deal with heavy gear cases should be able to get this tractor running again.

Any idea what caused it to break? I've not worked on one of these, but generally speaking, it isn't difficult to work on the rear axle housings.

I have housings in stock and can install it if you just want to get it fixed.

I can't find any reason for the housing to crack. Don't see impacts or dents. The tractor still drives, so the differential seems ok. I suspect it is just chinese castings. There seems to be no specific reason for things breaking on these tractors.
