There's no big rush to fix it except I'd like to be using it to move a shed, logs (future firewood) ,regrade the yard (Mostly sand) and transplanting mature shrubs.
For the next week or so I'm going to try to educate myself, read the repair manual when I get it (a couple of days)and get myself knowledgeable enough to do this repair. Then order the parts and get to it!
Thanks again JC. If anyone has any other advice to offer I would really appreciate it. This forum is a lifesaver!

If you have the mechanical ability...like being able to replace a clutch in a car or truck...and your basic hand tools along with the manual, you'll be fine. You should get a clutch alignment tool as JC suggested. You can buy a universal one at your local parts store. If you purchase the clutch at a dealer, maybe they'll loan you one? Won't hurt to ask, even if you have to leave a small deposit. If you do run into a problem, there's enough knowledgeable folks here that can walk you through most issues.
I would suggest getting an engine crane or setup a tripod with a chainfall(sp?). Also be sure to get plenty of caps to seal off any open hydraulic lines. You need to be sure to keep any dirt from entering the system. In a pinch, a rubber band and some plastic bags will also work. After you remove the sheet metal and have the driveline exposed, see if there's any dirt buildup present. It would be advisable to clean it off...a little simple green and water or just compressed air will work.
Here's a few pics of what you can expect...it's not a 1920, but my TC24DA and will give you an idea of what to expect.
Good luck
