I bought the tractor like this. Why would it have happened? Could someone help point me in the right direction on getting this fixed?  I tried to purchase a shaft from the dealer and they told me it had been discontinued for several years and was not available.  Should i call around to yards and see if i can find one used?  Part #17

see if you can resize your picture  ( too big)

check your tire sizes front to rear, if the sizes are not in sink with the gear ratio then that would cause a binding in the drive train and broke the weakest link.

The front axel pivot bushes are worn causing a side load on the pinion shaft.The parts are available,the transmission and fwa unit is the same as a Fiat 880 DT four cylinder model,i needed a complete drive shaft for a 6080 and got one non genuine through a Fiat parts supplier reasonably priced.

Tire sizes are correct but the front tires are like new and the rears are pretty worn.  I'll see if i can resize it.

Holy Smokes... $1500!  I think i might have to stick with 2wd for a while.  I think when i was looking several months ago i found a whole front diff for less than that though.

Aus, i've tried to look up Fiat parts but i cant find any FWA pinion shaft available for an 880DT.  Might be because i'm in the states?

Thanks guys

If its the same as the fiat 880 it looks like import tractor parts has a new ring and pinion for $1150.00
