Welcome Dirk. I'm a little confused(don't worry, that's normal) about your data. A B-12 only uses a 3 speed tranny + reverse. Basicly you'd have to pull the tranny and see what's broken. If you can locate one a tranny swap would be much easier. You can post an add in the classified's if that's the route you want to go. As for interchangeability, they used a few different 3 speeds but all are interchangeable if you use the complete rear end. Anything from the B-10, B-12, B-110 and their Simplicity counterparts will fit right in. Stay away from the variable speed trannies as they are the same except for the main input shaft is different for the variable setup.

Hi Dave thanks for the info and your right i put 4 gear in the post but there is only 3 spds im not sure what the simplicity counterparts are could you tell me the models of them and the variable speed is that the high and low or something else id like to do a swap it seems easier what do these trans usally sell for and is the trans the bevel gear box or is that something different ive seen them offered but not sure what they are thanks again

The variable speed is not a high low, it gives about 7 speeds for each gear. It is a complicated and sometimes problematic system of pulleys and belts. A high low was available for the basic 3 speeds as an add on. It is a planetary type w/gears. It is extremely rare.

Welcome. The BGB, Bevel gear box, is the gear box that transfers power from the driveshaft to the pulley to drive the trans. and pto output for the deck or other acc.'s. in the middle of the tractor.
