A friend just bought a 6030 in the US
The tractor arrived in France and it was quickly diagnosed that the park pawl did not work. Further diagnosis showed that the tabs had broken off.
Seller said to weld the tabs back off and that tractor has no warranty. It is not a good feeling to weld it.
6030 trans case is pretty much not obtainable.
What are the options?
- Finding a case in the US? Do you know where there is one?
- Welding the tangs back on? I really do not like it. Did someone tried?
- Make a big chunck of iron that bolts to it trough the side of the case?
- I have a spare 5020 trans that is complete and that I would give to him. How much of the 6030 gears and shaft will fit in a 5020 trans case? From JD parts, I can see a bunch of new numbers, but what is really different?
- At last resort, I can swap out the complete 5020 tranny, but what a loss! You pay 6030 prices for a repowered 5020!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
