Right. Had to pull the pto, belt pulley and oil flow tube, also the pto tube assembly. Then we removed the right bull gear and extracted the broken axle end. At that point I realized the gear splines were damaged and had to get a new (used) gear. I know there are others on this site who are wanting to replace a rear axle through the pto port. That can probably be done if everything is on your side - however if you have any problem getting a piece of the old axle out of the gear or if there is any possibility that the b gear is damaged you are going to have to remove the deck plate. It's a couple hours extra work but you might as well go directly to that. Be prepared to tap out a handful of deck bolts. Seems the bolt head recesses in the deck pool water and many bolts rust through. (You'll be buying new ones so you might as well pick up a dozen when you get your gaskets and PB Blaster). Also, the reinstall is probably going to take you and a chain hoist and good jack or at least 2 guys able to lift a lot of weight at odd angles. 3 guys work better expecially for the reinstall. I might as well mention that you will want to remove the battery, battery box, and get the guage box and steering wheel assembly out of the way and up. It worked best on this job (2 guys, no chain hoist) to rig a frame over the steering wheel to raise and tie up the steering wheel, guage box and all controls. We found it convenient to leave the hydraulic lines connected, used one of these 3-fold aluminum ladders configured to form a table close and parallel to the tractor body and just slid the deck plate, with seat attached, over onto that. The rear wheel and fender were already off. All in all, if I ever have to do this job again I am going for the chain fall option, especially for the reinstall. The parts are heavy, although all doable, but that weight takes on an excess when your're working at an angle if you use the ladder/table approach and don't remove they hydraulic lines, and both wheels completely, including weights and center rims. Good luck.
