That's too bad that a whole series of tranny will become obsolete because of a bearing.
Just a thought here, but you might find a similar bearing and have to get a sleeve made to fit the race into the tranny. Wouldn't be the first time and if you're adding a C note to the mix you could probably get it done for that at a local machine shop.
Be the front runner on the topic and post specs and pics for posterity.
Otherwise, there's lots of 2/3000 trannies laying around waiting for a tractor to put them into.
I know of a 6 sp here in the Twin Cities if it comes to that.

Thanks for the suggestion there ultradog. What would be a fair price for a salvage transmission? So far the only price I've recieved was for an amount that was half of what I paid for the tractor?

I put the bearing number in google and came up with
the site linked below. They claim to have a good
cross to that number (at least the number you give
is in their list), but who knows?

Good luck!
