550 trans questions for digitup, or anyone who knows

[robert]

hi there....well, i finally got around to rebuilding the trans on my 55? whatever it is. im taking the belhousing to a fab shop that specializes in cast, they work on alot of mine epuipment, and say they can fix it. Is there a fix-it kit, or plan, or idea for that problem. I had 2 broken bolts on the frame rail to final, on the right side, and it cracked the other frame rail at the weld to. Now another question. In the 3 years ive owned and operated the machine, the trans fluid stayed full, and the hydrualic resevor would go empty. the only big leak I have is the front pump seal on the tans/torque convertor. maybe I dont understand the hydrualic system, but looking at it I dont see were the 2 maybe cross into each other, except where the hydraulic pump goes into the bellhousing. have you ever seen that, or maybe i missed something.
thx
