Vermeer SC502a lower gearbox repair

[CASADOR]

The lower gear box and driveshaft went in my 2000 Vermeer SC502a. Vermeer wants $3700.00 to repair. $1700.00 being the cost of the lower gear box. Does anyone rebuild these things?I believe it is made by Comer Industries. The number embossed on the unit is 1278070100. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
