The motor number under number 1 plug is not a plate but a stamped number in a flat almost behind the throttle rod. It should be the same as the serial number for the tractor unless the engine has been swapped out. There are other ways to find out but you need that number to determine if you had an A, B, or BN. The axel lengths are not the same for a B and a BN (B narrow). The serial number should be on the order of FAA **** for an A or FAB **** for a B or FABN **** for a BN.
Yes the rear axel can be directly swapped out and you should. If the unit was originally a B or BN the right cast wheel center was not over sized for weight to resist overturning. Also the narrow front is very dangerous to operate with the left rear wheel in the "A" position. I have done the very thing you face. Have a new break band for that side as well as a oil seal for the transmission. Be careful how you remove the oil seal. I suggest that you consider using a self taping screw or screws to tap the metal flat on the old seal then you can pri it out with a crow bar.
I would not remove the bolts holding the final drive on the tractor using an impact wrench. I did that and ended up with a broken bolt. Do use a pull handle.
