If you mean the module gear boxes on the cutter bar, I've never had to replace one. I have replaced the top cap that the hub and turtle bolts too. I looked up on NH parts and it looks like there are left and right modules and they are $365 and $380. Also it looks like the top cap is separate for $263. Check with The Disc Mower Doctor in Ronks Pa. They specialize in disc mowers and other hay equipment. I don't know if something like these would be that significantly different in prices, but last year I got the front half CV PTO shaft from them.
