That is an extremely comprehensive and thorough explanation that can only come with doing something repetitively!!! Thank you so much for that and I'm hoping that I am "one and done"!
No, it's not the FWD shaft. It's the shaft right under the center of the tractor that the clutch is attached to. I see how it is connected at the rear where it broke, but I don't know how it is held in on the front side.
Yeah, I was using a tiller on some pretty compacted soil. The tiller has a slip clutch, but as you suggested, it obviously needs some adjustment. Thanks for the reply.
I snapped the propeller shaft on my B7100 HST right ahead of the splines toward the rear of the shaft. I have no idea how to remove the shaft from the front end and I'm hoping it does not require splitting the tractor. Can anyone tell me how big of a project this might be?
