Jack,
Once you get the tractor back you can work the heck out of it but when the wheels dig and bounce up and down you will break it the next time. I have built a few kioti front diffs and it is not a pretty site when the blow apart. Work it hard but try not to bounce it because these front axles don't like it.
The front drive shaft does not have a shear pin, just two splice couplers on each end. As you noticed the diff will go before anything else. Good luck

I don't know of any axle that likes that. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I was'nt bounceing the front end when it happened. but I will work it a little differently next time. although I hate to baby it because I'll never get any work done. mabe I'll just have to chip away at things in smaller quantities from now on. )</font>
Could be that just because it wasn't repaired correctly in the beginning, as you indicate, it had nothing to do with bouncing and you can continue to use it as you have.
