I sure hope no one was hurt. This is something that I would've never thought capable of happening. I know that this will sound like a lot of work, and like some shadetree engineering, but it may work. Try jacking both the front and aft of the tractor at the same time. You will need a lot of blocks and bottle jack on the aft end. Put two Handy-Man (also know as Hi-Lift) jacks on the front of it. By jacking evenly, Hopefully you will get the housing somewhat close to lining up in the crack. Have a welder handy and run a few beads on it. It looks as if the housing along with a few other parts will need to be replaced. So welding it up and possibly putting some flat or angle on it to help support it isn't really going to ruin anything that isn't already in need of replacement. Another idea instead of welding, would be to make braces that would reach from the frame on the engine to the axle housings. This may also keep the tractor in one piece long enough to get it on level ground so the loader could be removed and the tractor split in order to make the repairs required. Be careful. This looks like it could get painful real quick.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
