Was doing some landscaping and my right wheel locked, used the bucket to lift the front end up and sure enough the right tire will not spin whether in 4wd or 2wd. So, I shut down and called it quits for the day, next morning I get to removing the wheel and gear casing and find the top most bearing basically shredded. Also, the large seal was totally worn down and the gear case edges were significantly worn and corroded to some degree.

One of the gears has a dent from where the ball bearings dropped into it but it is not that bad I think.
Replacing the bearing and seals are easy, but the wear and corrosion on the gear casing concerns me.

I have found top gear case surprisingly.
