I just checked the parts on line, total comes to about $150 +shipping. I'm debating what to do. Have any of you ever seen Jay Leno do a thing on "White Trash Repairs"? I might figure up how much gas it would take to go see Mullins87.

Unless you're driving something that's thirsty, I can't imagine it costing you that much in gas. I'm roughly 8 hours from Atlanta, depending on how fast you drive. You're more than welcome to the part, or just about anything else off that mower. One caveat however, I can't guarantee my tranny is in any better shape than your's, I can only say it was functioning perfectly without any noises the last time I used that tractor.
This morning after my wife and I ate at Hardies I went by the hardware and picked up a 1/2id x 5/8od bushing to make a half-fast repair and get this thing back together while I remember what went where. The 3rd reduction shaft has a "tolerance ring" between the shaft and bearing that got chewed up and scored the shaft. I decided this bushing would work just as well but I had to grind the shaft down to 1/2. I did that on the drill press with a file, cut the bushing off while it was in the DP with a 3 corner file and sanded the bushing OD down until it would tap in the bearing. I doubt that the gear alignment is anywhere near perfect but if I can get it moving I can get it out of the garage.

I got the trans back in the tractor. I don't hear any sound coming out of the trans anymore but there is a rattle at the rubber hub-primary drive area. This is my second video and I'm not improving any. Opinions welcome.

I watched your video, that clutch disk is most likely the source of all that noise, not to mention the vibrations. Mine had a fair amount of play in the same bushing you pointed out, but I never bothered to replace it. Those clutch disks aren't very expensive and only take a couple of minutes to replace.

I was trying to figure out how to adjust the disk drive so the rubber wheel did not touch when in neutral. When I looked in the manual I saw that there should be a bearing and "button" in the center of the metal disk for the rubber wheel to rest on. Neither are there. Partstree has the bearing but has the button listed as Obsolete. No wonder the rubber wheel is chewed up.

Yep, I believe that would do it. I didn't realize there was a button and bearing there. I may have to go pull mine out of the pile to see if that button still spins. Looks like you're getting there, at this rate you'll be mowing with it in no time.
