I want to thank everyone for their great advice and support. I will keep you posted as to what I find out. This is just the type of thing that sets this group apart from a lot of different media venues--good advice and input for newbies.

No, neither of the tires moved when I turn the input shaft. It just spins freely and nothing moves.
I believe that tinhack is absolutely correct. Tomorrow morning, I will drop the pan and also look at the way in which the input shaft mounts into the front differential. I'm sure once both of...
No, neither one of the wheels turned when I turn the input shaft. I do believe now that that's where the problem is. I'm now starting to get a small leak coming out from the protective housing that enshrouds the input shaft into the front differential.

I found it to be just as you had said. The tires spin in opposite directions. Would your suggestion for that being still tearing it apart to find out where the damage is?
So the plot thickens. Although yesterday I was able to raise the front end up with the bucket, I only checked to make sure each wheel turned separately. They do turn freely on their own, but what I've realized is that they turn now in opposite directions. Any idea what that would be a symptom of?
