Twisted off the shaft to my gearbox while mowing this morning.
I'm looking for some pointers or leads about a repair.
I see gearboxes for sale at reasonable prices, but none match this gearbox. This one seems to have different input and output shafts than the replacements I have found. (Input: 1 1/8 in. six spline; Output: 1.5 in. 24 spline.) The replacements also all mount with 4 bolts instead of six.
Can someone point me to a different source of gearboxes that might replace mine directly?
Or maybe a source of gearbox parts? Could I replace the input shaft?
How hard would it be to install a replacement gearbox with a different bolt pattern? And if I could, I have shaft differences to deal with. More parts would (I think) address that problem: PTO shaft change, new stump jumper for new output shaft. Anything else I'm forgetting?
The serial number is worn off, but the plate says "Ford" on it.
I am good at replacing parts/components. I am not a machinist nor a fabricator.
I only use this thing a small amount each year, but it's really hard to maintain the property without a mower like this.
I mow with a TO30 so I doubt the tractor twisted the shaft off by shear power. I got the mower well used and the input shaft was quite twisted when I got it, but it served me for 15 years in my limited use. I can't complain, but now I'm pondering economical repair options to get mowing again.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
