1700 4WD manual steering Gearbox problems

Im having problems keeping the steering gearbox from going out on my 1700 4wd with manual steering. I bought the tractor 2 yrs ago and use it to run a finish mower on 6 acres (takes about 5hrs) around my house. The 2nd time I mowed it out. I bought parts and rebuilt it and the 5th time I used it this year it went out again. In many calls to used parts places Ive learned this is an ongoing issue with this gear box. 1 guy in Texas said if he could buy 1,000 used gearboxes for this tractor he would! By the Yanmar has identical gearboxes and parts, its a Japanese made Ford. Does anyone have a fix for whatever weakness this gearbox has? Or another gearbox that will bolt up? Any help is appreciated.
