Perhaps asking for some advise first may have saved you a few dollars.
 


Owh!  That hurts, George.  I thought I had asked for advice.  I'm trying to switch it out because of advice.  The final advice was from the man at the transmission, www.redrider.us, who said that if it looked right then it must be it, because all those gears look different.  Argh!!

But, I think Dale has it right.  What I started with must be an E40D, but I'm still not sure.  Halfway down this page is a link to "Heavy Duty 6 Pinion Steel Forward Planetary, E40D"

The giveaway, besides the coarser spline spacing for the output shaft is the flutes up the sides of the top portion with the oil galleries.  But as with everything else, there isn't any dimensioning data available that I can find.  So it is still just a guess.

instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
