Cracked case, gear lube with heavy metal filings in it leaking from bottom. Caused from ring gear bolts loosening and
2 of the 6 broke off, there did'nt appear to be any Lock Tite on the threads. Any one have a similar problem?
plow snow at house and equipment yard, use some at excavation job sites with 72" landscape rake etc.
Machine has 552 miles and well maintained,.

When I was an axle “tech” at Toyota (early ‘70s) we never used lock-tite.… carrier bolts always had locking-tab-washers.
 
There were no locking -tab-washers, just bolts for ring gear. Ended up installing a new front differential.
Expensive!!
