So I now have the service manual for this thing. Have not look at it very close but so far it has little to nothing about the PTO ORC. Manual is the 72-4207 and says it cover this model. Hope it ha more to it then what I am seeing or I may have to find another manual to go with this one.
 
Well it is one of those things where if the manual does not have a section on how to disassemble the PTO area you have to find one that does simple as that
 
I went through the online parts book, and this was the only page I found that showed the PTO shaft. It sure looks like you are going to have to split the hydrostat center section away from the rear end housing to gut and feather that shaft out.

As I commented before the factory manuals are written to refresh the memories and give specs to a dealer service tech who has been to service school on the unit, not somebody who has never seen the inside of one.
 
Yes and that is likely to be where the trouble is. One of those cases where I told the guy I would need to find a manual so he jumps ahead of me and buys one not knowing what was really needed
 
Yes I already have figured I would need to split it at least 2 places. Pull the rear end off then split the transmission between the hydrostat and speed transmission. But the little things like having to drain the transmission etc. is left out the having to guess at
