It’s a little hard to tell by your post but it looks like that cover has rusted through. Take the EAE number and paste it into Google. I got some results that shows it is and engine casting number. I did see where it told you where to look for the tractor serial number. They said it’s stamped into the transmission near where the starter bolts on.

Should be a diamond in front of that number too although they tend to get worn. That should be. Serial number if it below starter

Tractor supply carries a good repair manual for that series tractor. I agree with dodge man ,looks like rusted out. Drain fluid. Remove plate get it welded up and replace gasket and refill.
