broken Transmission to frame tube studs

[bluespeedtrip]

While plowing snow, I heard a loud pop and I found four the six studs that connect the transmission to the frame tube had broken. It looks like I will have to split the tractor where it sits to get the input shaft to line back up. Anyone run into this before?

What model is that?

Also let me guess moving snow with a FEL.

Doesn't look like there are any axle bars on it, so that's what broke it.
Heck of a lot of force on it without axle bars.
With the amount of snow we've gotten up here, we've all been busy moving snow!

Depending on what model you have I might have some of the studs hanging around.

It's a b7100, and yep on the front end loader.

I've got some 12mm grade 10 studs.

You can't see in the pic, the input shaft on the transmission and the female end of the output shaft are not lined up now that the case has partially separated. I may have to drop the back blade off and completely separate the tractor. I'm hoping not. If I can get the tractor so it ay least rolls, I can get it to the shop and use a hoist and jacks to support the halves.

first one of these small tractors I've owned. I didn't know about the axle bars.

I can show you how to add the axle bars, I'm also close enough if you need help doing it, I could help you out.
