My Kubota L3430 HST's front wheels stopped pulling. I noted a sound like an old bulldozer clanking when I was backing up. Then, gradually, I noticed that the front tires stopped pulling. What is likely the problem?

If you lucky it's just a couplers splines have been stripped.
To start with you'll need to get into the propeller shaft and check the front coupling.
