It could have been this guy right here.
Breaking that is not unheard of. Was it pulling very hard?

do you have to split the frame to access that or can you access from the rear?

Diff lock was an option. Not all tractors were equipped with it.

suppose you could lift rear while in gear spin one tire. if other don't spin opposite direction then its axle issue most likely. if that pinion were broke tire should still spin opposite if axles ok.

Did not know that. Mine has it. Wonder what other options mine may or may not have. My FEL bucket has two rows of square holes. Assume this was for a bolt on edge of sorts. It would need to be about 10” deep to bolt an edge on though.

The 231 came equipped with differential lock.
