My buddy I do some work for has 2 1460's, one an '80 model, the other an '83. Older machine has so far broken 2 final drives the past 3 years, and the newer machine broke one this year. No bin toppers, 30.5-32's on both drives, 6 row corn heads, 17.5 and 20' grain heads, and relatively flat ground. Is this a problem on these particular machines? Gettin' kinda 'spensive changing these things out. And crunches up the sheet metal. Any thoughts appreciated.

newer ones had cast iron covers made unit the stronger has never been much of a problem
