L2201DT 4x4 issue

[406 malibu]

Hi
I am a newbie to the tractor thing, but have some projects this year.
I recently purchased a L2201DT. In decent shape with a loader and an issue. The 4x4 wasn't working which was reflected in the price. So i took a chance, the machine will most likely do what i want in 2 wheel, but had to know why it didn't work.
After checking the propellor shaft was actually turning I turned my attention to the front end. One side felt like there was gears at play one didn't. Took that side apart and found i have a bevel 17 gear that is well shall we say shiny. The bevel gear 38 looks fine. I have checked the other side and it looks good. Suspect a tooth snapped and it was down hill from there.

I am getting my references from a L245 parts book I downloaded.
The part # it shows is 37720-43650 is this the same for my machine?

Are these available used? new?

Thanks in advance

what was the cost of the gear?

Was approx. $211.00 from my local kubota dealer.

Consider yourself lucky. My pops "exploded" the front diff on our L225DT and didn't wanna spend the cash to fix it. When i inherited it in '03, Kubota no longer made those parts. Took me 8 years of fruitless searches and $1.100 to finally get a used one.
