Never towed....the rod broke here while I was using it, and it never moved from my garage after that. I picked up the rebuilt engine at the guy's shop.
So another separation and having the trans on a jack, etc.? I don't think so. I wrestled with that thing for days to get it out and back in. Somebody else, that I'll gladly pay, is more than welcome to fix it. Otherwise I guess it'll have to go for sale. Problem is, I'll take a bath on what I paid for the rebuilt engine and everything else. This whole thing just stinks since I was so counting on using the tractor again. To come so close and now have something go bad in the trans is heartbreaking.
Is there a way to know for certain what happened and thus what level of repair work would be required? It almost started awhile ago without making any unusual noise in the trans, but then it got worse again. It just seems like it's all tied in with the tron shaft area. When I turn the motor slowly, that whole assy seems like it sort of jerks.
Is this the only thing that might need replacing?

Still, assuming separation is necessary to do it. And, of course, draining the trans. Just put all new fluid in it.
