broken eaton power divider....got a question

Okay...two weeks ago the power divider exploded in Warsaw In....installed a used one at a local shop.

Tonite...same deal...broke something and it went thru the housing...some gears are broken as I can feel them slip.

Now....does anyone know if I could deflate and plug my front axle airbags Jack up and chain up the axle remove the tires engage the power divider and be able to bobtail... I'd like to take it back to the shop that did the last repair...150 miles.

 

I'm looking at a grand tow bill.......it certainly can't break much worse...if it did at least I'd be closer to the shop that did the work.

I've limped home before with an axle chained up but never for this kind of failure.

 

The used different was as-is... I think at somepoint it was abused...but it passed a visual inspection.

I made it 75 miles last nite then one of the helical spur gears broke....probably from debris.... so I called for a tow.

I decided to rebuild the power divider with all new parts. I use it when I do field harvest work and don't want to risk just dropping in another used pumpkin. In eight weeks I'll be back in the fields so I need it to be reliable.

 

Never came up in a conversation... I'll be back up and running by noon Thursday so what's done is done I guess.
