Differential housing (drivehead casing) with part number 453/22902 from the GX-AFTER offer. It is an external part of the drive axle body, designed for JCB machines. This element is characterized by a round mounting flange shape ("Round Casing"), which distinguishes it from older or other types of axles. Used in 3CX, 4CX backhoe loaders and telehandlers.
GX-AFTER housings are precisely cast and machined to ensure perfect alignment of pinion bearings and ring gear. This is crucial for quiet axle operation and transmission longevity.

| Backhoe Loaders | 3CX, 4CX (Axles with round head) |
| Telehandlers | Loadall (Selected models with JCB SD55/SD70/SD80 axles) |
The housing fits axles with a round flange. Older axles may have square/rectangular housings. Check the shape before purchasing.
The housing is the body itself. For complete assembly, you will need: pinion seal, tapered bearings, shim kit, and silicone/sealant to connect to the axle.
A cracked differential housing can lead to sudden oil leakage and axle seizure while driving, risking wheel lockup. Mechanical damage (e.g., from hitting a stone) should be repaired immediately.
Housing 453/22902 protects and supports the differential mechanism.

No. Number 453/22902 refers to the cast iron housing itself (casting). All internal parts (gears, bearings, shaft) must be purchased separately or transferred from the old axle if they are functional.
It means the round shape of the flange by which the differential housing is bolted to the rest of the axle (banjo). This is a newer JCB design solution that replaced older axles with a rectangular head.
JCB is one of the few machine manufacturers that designs and manufactures its own drivetrains (including axles and differentials) at the JCB Drivetrain Systems factory in Wrexham. Thanks to this, they have full control over quality, and parts like this housing are perfectly integrated with the rest of the machine.
