Started disassembling the tractor and degreased the transaxle.

That shaft coming out of the back of the pump is the extension of the input shaft, same 5/8 dia. The plan now is to mount the engine behind the transaxle (rear engine just like a Porsche) and drive in through that shaft. All rotations will be correct and the engine will be more accessible for service.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
