Thanks Relhogh. I think I had it on the edge of it.

Well I did enough damage for today. I loosened the left side cover hoping it would come off.
NO LUCK. I also took off the PTO and I can see the bolts in the end of the axle but thru the two inch whole I don't see getting a wrench on it. I know I could never get it back in.
You mentioned a plate in the bottom but the only bolts are for the pin hitch.
I noticed you had yours removed.
There has got to be someone who had brake problems on a Green
Have a nice evening Y'all

Relhogh, how is your pin hitch attached? Is it on a flat plate? I'll take a picture of mine. Tell me if it's the same. I had a heck of a time getting the axle housing off. There were alignment pins and 30 yo gaskets holding it all together.

Best picture I can get right now. The plate the hitch is on is the plate that seals the axle housing.

Sounds like the way to go for you Relhogh. You may still want to pull the plate at the bottom. It seems over the years plenty of crud settles there. See billymc's discussion about his ongoing axle repair.

I took the hydralic lift off and got a great view of the bolt. Not great access but a great view.
I was able to get a wrench on it thru the pto hole and used a large pipe wrench on the axle and about 40 turns later the bolt came out.I was then able to pry the cover off. The large gear stayed pretty much in place. I can't wait to see what a hassle getting the bolt back in.
By the way the brakes are gone, they were covered in rust.
I was looking a getting some brake material and gluing & riveting it on.
I will send pictures later.
Thanks to you guys for your help.

For future reference, there should be two threaded holes in the housing which aren't used. These are meant to thread the bolts you just removed into. These holes are through holes which allow the bolt to push the cover away from the tractor. Makes easy work of the separation.damammel said:

Sounds like a former owner has stripped the pin hitch bolts. Bummer. Looks like the kit is $140. Instructions with it sure don't apply to your green machine. Yanmar Tractor Parts: BRAKE KIT COMPLETE (4 SHOES, 4 SPRINGS, 2 GASKETS)

The bolts you remove from the housing itself. You just re-insert a couple of them back into those threaded holes and "tighten" them (although you are really just screwing them through the housing, as there is nothing to tighten them against). As you screw them in, the bolts go through the housing and push off the transmission, thereby separating the two. After that, you just scrape off the gasket and pull it off.relhogh said:
I used a strap to support the housing and simply pivoted it aside, that way I wouldn't have to lift it back in place. Was much easier that way.

when I said transmission, I meant differential, sorry.
The housing I speak of is that big plate looking thing through which the axle protrudes and has about six or eight bolts. If you wish to remove the axle, that housing must go with it.

The kit is listed under the red and green but Hoye could answer that question. Does your brakes look like what you see in the kit?
Interesting the plate was welded on. Is it welded solid all the way around or just in spots? Asking thinking if it is just spot welded you might grind the welds off to remove it. By now I'm thinking you know what kind of access it would allow to get to the gear bolts. Might not be worth it. Just thinking outloud.
