I have a TC18 with damaged transmission gears and a cracked transmission case. The rest of the tractor is perfectly fine. Anyone know where I might find a TC18 in salvage or being parted out?

I was wondering if this is a common problem as I am working on a T-18 Which has a transmission problem were the pinion shaft pushed forward and broke off race retaining housing on front side of pinion housing I put together tractor once already and it pushed rear pinion bearing threw race as I loaded it from in front of plate I am going to take out ring gear planetary assembly and load it from rear and weld race into housing from front of case which will eliminate this problem from happening again hopefully the transmission assembly is a weak system to my eyes but works just the same good luck with yours.

I have a problem of the shifting mechanism locking in 2nd gear, and freezing up the PTO. To fix it I have to lift the transmission top plate and reposition the threw races. The first time it occured, I had the dealer check it out for a handsome fee who reported no problems. It reoccured today while spraying berries, left me with an urgent repair task, managed to fix it sufficient to empty the tank and now not knowing when it will lock up again. I have to wait for another calm morning to finish the spraying. IS THIS TRANSMISSION DESIGN A LEMON, or am I just lucky.
