I let the tractor drain overnight so I could see the bottom of the transmission. I found a few more nuts, a couple were crushed like they were jammed in the gears, I found a couple cotter pins in there and some broken part floating in the oil, looks like part of a bushing or something and I found a drive joint bolt in there. I don't know how all these parts got in there, but they must be part of the problem. All the bearings look and spin nicely.

All the other gears I can see look really good, I jacked up the rear wheels and turned all the gears and they look good except the one with the chipped teeth.
