Branson, Century, plus some other names all are the same Korean built tractors. They are a Cummins designed motor built under some type of marketing agreement. I have seen the motors used in some other Korean construction equipment.
I will agree with you on deciding to repair it or not. Parts are available but dealership support is about nil in many areas. Also the manufacturing company has gone through several marketing name changes and sales agreements under different names. It makes it a confusing mess to actually know who, when or where to get parts from.
My own way of dealing with these type of tractors is to NOT work on them. Mahindra, Branson, Century, TYM, Koiti, and many others of the same type of tractors. I am not saying they are bad or good. I am saying the parts and service support is spotty at the best.
I worked on one Mahindra. Owner abuse caused one of the MFWD hubs to be destroyed. Ran with no gear oil until the wheel fell off. I took it apart and got together a parts list. Local dealer is about 15 miles away and a good fellow. The one housing was not in inventory in the US. Took them over six months to finally get one. Was not a warranty of any type so it was a customer buying parts. Tied up shop and shed space until the parts came. Owner lost the use of the tractor for that time too. He had to buy another tractor to feed at this remote farm. Just a bad deal all around.
