Thanks about the rear seal. It was the rear seal, and it was not easy to get off, but I did get it off.

I had already drained the oil and removed the oil pan (I wanted to clean it out of loose junk) and it is all back in now.

I got the clutch plate and transmission back on too.

I am having some trouble getting the mounting bolts to line back up from my trans to the mount bar, but I guess by the time I was ready to do that, I was just plain too tired to push. I had a time getting that transmission back in!

Now I am needing some new boots for the tie rods. I had to remove it and nearly tore up my new tie rod remover! Beat all to heck!

The drive shafts are new, just a few months back, so they are in good shape.

I just need to put the gear oil back in the transmission. Which BTW, I"m not sure of the weight. I got 75, but there are heavier oils too. But at this point, I'm just ready to get this thing back on the road.

It got very cold and will be raining the next several day, under a tent cover, but still not fun to do in this weather.

Thanks all for your help!
