Need tail housing for T85 OD trans

I have a rebuilt T85 with a cracked tail housing and was wondering if anyone has a parts tranny laying around. This is the one with the R11 overdrive.  I have several other complete T85's but don't want to rob one of those, if I don't have to do so.

I have a T85 tail housing, but I believe it is for a Merc.  It is 23.5" long and has the 1 11/16 rear bushing.  I also have the matching tail shaft with the ring gear.  Do not have the matching yoke.   John

Didn't see these replies. Life got in the way... Job changes, medical issues, retirement..another house down in FL and was just there for hurricane Michael that made landfall 40 miles south of my rear deck. Lot of nearby houses destroyed (mostly crushed by trees..), but I only had minor damage and 6 days w/o electricity.

Back in MN, but cold enough to make me wish I wasn't..

Still need the 61-62? tail housing (think it is shorter than Merc one as I have a 56? Merc T85 OD also and it's longer).

Have a couple more T85's still, as was originally posted, but would rather not cannibalize them as they all work. None quite as nice inside as the one with bad tail housing though.

Is the crack where a competent welder could repair it?   John

Nope, it was a freak break caused by water frozen in tail section only. Actually broke it and don't have the pieces even..
