B9200 broken trans case

[N3BP]

Once you get your transmission squared away, it's critical you properly adjust the deck limit linkage per the manual. If it's adjusted correctly, the deck can't drop low enough to uncouple the slip-shaft. The same is true when raising the deck. If not adjusted properly, you can raise it too high and smash it into the bottom of the machine with enough force to bend or break something.

If it were me I either order the new one from Jones or get the used one from Mountain Man. I wouldn't try to patch the broken one. Just split it and get the work done. It won't be to bad of a job. On this farm patching never seems to work out. And when done make the needed adjustments on the mower so this won't happen again.

The previous owner woulda benefited considerably from that. But ye definitely. Looks like it’s a properly adjusted safety chain that would have prevented all of this.
