Does anyone know (for sure) if the front axle assembly from a B6100DT will interchange with a B7100DT?
I haven't had time to open mine up yet, but I have a line on a complete B6100 front assembly that might come in handy for parts. Many of the internal part numbers appear to be the same between the two, but it would be nice to know for sure.
Thanks in advance.

Not al the parts are the same but a lot are, the actual cases are different but the parts that attach them to the tractor are the same ????

The #1 same part is the gear ratio (ring and pinion).

Damn, not the answer I was hoping for. Well, maybe mine won't be as bad as I fear.
