Ford 3930 transmission replacement

I have an early 1994 Ford 3930 agricultural tractor with a 8x8 synchro shuttle trans (that was built by Kubota) that I cooked last year. I'm told that good replacement parts for that transmission are practically impossible to find.

The best recommendation given is to swap in an 8x2 trans and its rear axle center housing along with its gears and pto.

Data for the damaged tractor: Tractor#BD69660; Model# CA51WX; Unit# 4C18B; Trans Case# 41V

Cooking the trans was my fault for not realizing the case had developed a crack and the trans oil was leaking out of the self-contained compartment.

Any experiences/comments/cautions on going this route? It worked so good until it didnt! Located near Greensboro, NC

Will an 8x2 trans bolt up to the motor/clutch plate, etc? Will my left and right rear wheel assemblies bolt up to a rear axle center housing for the 8x2 trans?
 

Try to find a late model rear center housing, Not sure when but Ford changed the bottom drawbar mounting bolts sizes from 5/8 to 3/4, if you swap your drawbar bracket onto a older housing you won't be able to keep it tight

8 spd trans will bolt to your engine and flywheel, your outer axles will fit the other rear center section
Not sure why but the 8x8 had a slightly different hydraulic suction tube but it should work in a 8x2 housing, you lift top will fit the other housing

I've got synchro's for a 8x8 and a fixable case but that's about it, trans was originally a 16x8 from a 5030 so all of the gears and oil pump are different
