Todd, I'm confused (which is no big surprise) :>)

Is that M cracked down under the rear end and the fluid is running out? As if a ball fell out of a bearing and has been caught between the bull gear and the case?

Or, is the crack forward of the seam (in the torque tube) caused from lifting those big round bales with the loader and the tractor is actually trying to break in two?

If your crack is indeed in the torque tube itself, you could conceivably pull 'er back together with a set of those big 1" turnbuckles that the Mercantile sells and some heavy angle iron. This might give you time to get that SMTA going.

Just trying to help get you away from that darned pitchfork,

Allan

Mornin Allan. The old girl is cracked on the bottom of the tranny about 6 inches from the axle housing. A common place to crack from some of the stories I've been hearing. The bales could be a factor to. That smta is in good shape and would be easy to overhaul. I'm going to stop today and see what he will take he wasn't home last night.

Todd, what Allan said is correct, many Ms have cracks in that area because of a bearing failure and the balls get lodged between the bull gears and the trans case, my M and many others like it have a patch applied to this area. You might want to make sure that the bearing isn't gone from the one you are looking at.
