I shelled the front center casting of my front axle that apparently held together long enough for the pivot boss on the rear of the center casting to shatter, thereby dropping chunks into the pinion and ring gear to the point where I suddenly knew something deeply wrong was going on with my front axle. From the looks of it, the front pivot boss broke first, and then with more use the rear pivot boss chunked out and dropped a chunk that got snagged into the front pinion and ring gears alerting me to major malfunctions.
If anybody knows of an NX series tractor that burned down, got crashed, got bounce-tested from a tall building, or whatever, I'm on a quest for the center front axle housing.
Thanks.

Much damage, Bronze? I am the Nightrider, a fuel-injected, suicide machine... Laying down a rubber road straight to freedom! LOL
How we rigged to support the front axle.
The operating theater. We had an audience.
The operating table. Sadly, this patient appears to be dead.
Front of the center axle housing. You can see the broken boss had been working.
The rear boss of the front-center axle housing is shattered.
Front axle pinion shaft. Notice the shattered boss is still on the pinion's shaft bearing.
Front ring gear.
