Jim,
Thanks for the reply on your mounting and I agree with Matt on the support of the block - it should be on the frame.
I learned the hard way towing a trac vac with AL axle rear plate pulled the bolts from the tranny and was a devil to keep tight and leak free so I got the rear hitch plate PN 703-1943A - RF Houtz has one for $47 cheap insurance and will protect your transaxle as it connects to the frame.
I also had 3PTH that was no longer needed so I removed that and installed the hitch plate - no more issues with the tranny.
