Hi have had my b7100 for about 5 years used mainly for mowing with a 60” deck.
Mid pto has always jumped out of gear when mowing in thick grass but could just keep checking it and pushing it back in and wasn’t a problem or so I thought.
One day it started making a horrible grinding noise so I disengaged, when I tried to reengage it wouldn’t go in and just kept grinding here are some pics of the damage. Anyone have a spare housing ? If your mid pto keeps jumping out might be worth checking this hasn’t cracked causing slight misalignment

So I decided to have a go at repairing the housing , think it turned out ok just waiting on some new bearings to reassemble and try it out. Have dummy fit it with old bearings and back lash and engagement seem good.
here’s some pics
