Ok I'm starting a new thread because the other one was missleading. I did not have front end issues. It was the rear cv joint on the drive shaft the was popping.
You can tell if this is your problem if your in 4wd and it feels like there is a gear jumping in the front end. IF YOU FEEL THIS TAKE THE TRACTOR OUT OF 4WD IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!
Now how to fix with out no cost!!! I have to give credit where credit is due!! Thank You jhunt1x this is really his fix !!!
how to fix:
1). loosen the hose clamps the connect the shaft cover, you cant miss them their right in the middle of the tube that runs from the front axel to the transmission.
2). Slide the front tube back twards the tranny. It takes some effort and some gentle prying to get it off the O-ring that hold it in place.
3). remove the 12mm bolt the hold the rear shaft cover to the caseing. there was just one in my set up but according to some of the parts manual's I've seen there may be 2.
4). Slide the rear cover forward and compress the shaft cover all the way. The front slides inside the rear and the cover ends up about half it's length.
