I happen to agree with you CDunn

Wow! That was quick!

The hoe and bucket are fed from a different reservoir than the tranny. Sounds to me like you are low on tranny fluid. Lift the seat and check it. Good luck

That looks just like the one in my 450 also. Can't help with locating parts but I would suggest figuring out why it broke. Are your bellhousing spacers broken? Did the engine mounting bolts break or work loose? Something put a lot of stress on the shaft. Good luck

I would start with NAPA. May not be an exact replacement but they will get you going.

If you don't have a set screw or even a hole for one then I think you have even more problems. I believe the set screw is what locates the clutch on the shaft. Without it the clutch drum can move where ever it wants. I'm just saying it don't sound right to me. Good luck

Does it blow white smoke after starting? Injectors maybe bad. Sounds like a fuel issue in any case.

Another thing you need to check is what I call the motor mount. I believe JD calls them a bell housing spacer. It's on the inside of the frame rail between the rail and the bell housing. Hopefully it isn't broken but if it is you will have to replace it. They are getting hard to find. I had a set ma...

Sounds like a plan. You might try left hand drill bits instead of an easy out though.

Try heating the nuts cherry red and impacting them off before they cool.

Fairly common problem on the 450s. The side rail is probably broken also. There are several posts on here discussing it and how to repair the clutch housing. Don't panic and just fix it.
