rear, machine was a freebie in good shape otherwise but rear axle the center diff was cracked, almost split really so started looking for a rear but no luck. then i took it out opened it up wow looked like a bomb went off ring and pinion were tore up.they ran it without fluid. the front is the same housing and ring and pinion part number only thing different is the rear has the wet brakes in the outer half shafts which im told will bolt right up. and it figures they only made this model for limited time they didnt sell well in the states,then went to the 410 which is totally different. if i could find a center section from a front id give it a try

talked to a few people that had them was told was endemic to these models the rear splitting. believe they went to a heavy casting with different part number. dont know if it was because people used the backhoe without the outriggers and the breakout force caused it or poor design and weak casting

negative. found a center case for 1500 and a pinion gear. most likely have the ring gear made. should have it all together by next week. keep looking in canada and france seems to be where most of them were sold.
