I don't have a diesel tractor (yet) but I have never seen any that I've worked on, or anyone on here, mention one breaking there before.
Driveline looks good!

That driveline sure looks purdy.  Let us know how smooth it is once you get it back together. |
I can't help but wonder if the broken bolt on the cradle caused this failure... I think Ole George is right though... bad vibrations! LOL!
What is surprising though... even though by nature these 3 cylinder diesels vibrate pretty bad, this one wasn't!  There was no extra vibration anywhere, the radiator, nor the rear end yet there there was a lot wrong with it! Broken bolt on the cradle, broken weld and a stripped out spline coupler and worn drive shaft... My buddy who's a very good welder, is coming on Thursday. He'll patch her up and then she'll be singing pretty!
