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.

I have taken a good long look at the problem one hole is stripped out and the other has the rest of the broken bolt I am going to try and tap the striped hole out to a bigger bolt and try and extract the broken portion with an easy out ! We'll see how easy that will be , all done with an extension to keep from having to disassemble the loader .

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

Heli coil's work good in those situations used them on my 350 reverser worked good.

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 made at a machine shop.
