I've seen some pretty catastrophic damage but that ranks right up there! The first pic of the hole in the case....wow! Just out of curiosity have you tried finding JD crawler forums? It's always amazing like an iceberg, doesn't seem like much but a ton of resources once you get below the surface and into the network.
I always hate to see that kind of slobbery red goop which always spelled doom in a transmission or transfer case. Or maybe everytime I've had to go into a trans I saw that rusty condensated clapped out gear oil. So that nose piece is just gone? Like the bearing died and expanded in that nose and shattered it? Wonder if this is why these are so rare, like it was a major fault that killed production?
