Re: (ET) Transmissions...

I have had mine apart ( another tractor ) many times. The difference I 
see is the rev. idler and pin is gone out of the GE one. Every thing else 
is the same.
The 2300 is one of the strongest rears going. The nest strongest one is 
a hydro unit. The limited slip from that one will work in the 2300 
thow. All the 2300 where 4 speeds with one rev. They are all cast iron 
cases. The difference between the different models of 2300's are what 
side the input is, what's kind of brake it uses, how it mounts to the 
tractor and how long the axles are, how the hubs for the wheels go 
on. What goes wrong most of the time is ( for me anyway ) is the 
springs that help hold it in gear, the seals n bearings that hold up the 
diff. the pinion gears in the diff. OR brake a axle about 3" from the 
diff. Im into tractor pulling and this one is a alky with about 30 hp and 
lots of torque My .05 worth.
