McConnell rhino gearbox

[Pistonbroke]

Any cheaper source of an outer gearbox for a 9 ft rhino? Can't believe McConnell make them and I can't find a make or number on it. Thanks

It’ll either be a Chinese made box or one of the Italian jobs. Lots of toppers and mowers now fitted with Chinese made “boxes on them. Even my Spearhead has a 200hp splitter box made by Walterscheid in China!

Either that or have a trawl through the Comer and Bondioli & Pavesi boxes on Kramp and see if your local dealer can source on stock order arrangement.

I got one for the 6 ft model a couple of years ago from here.

Seems ok so far.

Dont know who makes the mcconnel rhino gearboxes, but this company seems to have a big choice of topper suitable gearboxes, have a search and let us know how you get on.

Same guy.

By the time you add the postage it's more than the McConnell dealer wants. A part number and make are the key but I've had no luck so far other than USA I think it's a Bush hog

It is a Comer box.
Frank Alviti was much cheaper when I had one about 3 yrs ago, £450 ish.

Square casing, does look quite Comer-ish....

I'll be seeing gearboxes in my sleep. I've gone through every comer one I can find and nothing seems to match ( six bolt mountings for a start ) . eBay usa have one listed that is made by ITG that replaces McConnell part number but the trail has gone cold. Looks like genuine after all

Give that guy a call on Monday, so far as I can remember it’s not a comer box.

The price will be almost half of ‘genuine’

I had a gearbox straight from comer for a kverneland bale chopper for £110 when kverneland price was about £400 so the potential savings are worth it, just not had any progress so far

I think it’s a Chinese made walterscheid. Part number here from one I had. Deciphering it may be another matter

Alibaba is your friend there. MOQ may be a hurdle, but as with most things Far East up for negotiation or “business sample”

Any joy finding one after

Ended up with a genuine one from Frank alviti bit I still expect there's a cheaper way

We have a limited number of shop soiled Walterscheid gearbox’s in stock which would fit a lot of the McConnel and bomford toppers.
