So I was out at the barn this morning and finally removed the seed plate drive and what I found definitely concerns me. I took some more videos, which probably explain much better what I will try to describe. Unfortunately, the sleeve (thank Jim) looks to be the broken component.

When I was messing with the broken spacer, I could also see something underneath that is more clear in this video http://youtu.be/qCNyz8QYoMM
So the seed plate drive came off and seems to be completely fine. However, the sleeve that the seed plate rests on is just completely shattered, as you can see in the video. From what I can tell, the oil seal around this shaft seems intact, although I would still want to replace it since that shattered shaft no doubt damage any sealing that it could have done. Please take a look at the videos and let me know if you think I am reading things correctly.
So on top of confirmation of my findings, I had a few more questions... First, should I be nervous that the whole axle is working loose in the housing. Should I be worried about moving the tractor in this condition? Secondly, when I was working the sleeve, I did tug on it a little. When I eventually pull that broken sleeve out, should I just pull it with some pliers. What is holding it in place? My only concern is that I don’t want to get up in there and start removing things then breaking them and making it worse than it already is. Third, I know that my final drive oil is likely quite low. I looked for where the fill plug might be and I saw that there appeared to be a fill plug to the right of the seed plate drive (engine side). When I looked at the Operators manual, it seemed like this plug should be to the left of the seed plate drive (closer to rear of the tractor) but in my case, anything there is covered by the fast hitch bracket. Here is a video of the plug, can you guys confirm if this is the fill plug for the final drive. Video of possible final drive fill plug http://youtu.be/xlUV4P7O0JY

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
