I spent about 5 hours today working on taking the tractor apart. I unhooked the loader and left it in the other part of the shed and moved the tractor into the part with a concrete floor. I took the trans top off after removing a bunch of other stuff and I found that as well as the constant mesh gears which I knew were damaged the bevel gear on trans top shaft and the differential bevel gear are both damaged as well and there are metal bits in the oil channels on the sides. I am wondering if I can assume that if I replace all of the damaged parts and put things together properly the new parts will last or if there can be a more serious problem in the housing or something else on the tractor that could cause the gear damage. I talked to the owner before the auction and he told me that his son-in-law or nephew had put several new gears in the transmission for him and then he had the PTO drive fail and parked the tractor shortly after. Over the summer I fixed the TA and PTO problems with the help of folks on this board and a shop manual, and looked into the front of the transmission while I had the tractor split, at which point everything looked okay except that the retainer was missing off the pilot bearing and the 5th gear splines were worn. I decided not to open up the transmission at that time since I still had not been able to test the tractor. I am wondering what I should do now. I would like to fix the tractor and use it but if that is not practical I can also part it out. I am wondering especially what would do that kind of damage to the differential, I have never seen that before. If I do fix it I am wondering if I should replace all of the bearings in the transmission and rear end since they all presumably have metal bits in them, or if I should try to clean them and reuse them. Any advice will be much appreciated.

His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
