CNKS, well it's over but the environmental damage to my
parking yard and a few busted knuckles. (My dad always
measured the success of any job in terms of how many
band aids were required. This one used 6.)

Can tell you that the IH 240 axle snap ring is an evil
creation which I hope will never blight your existence. Took
30 minutes to finagle it off in that tight space and at least 2
hours to get it back on. Blue air and it was Sunday. Finally
had to drill the ends so I could use this little modern style
snap ring pliers with posts that fit into little holes. Took 30
minutes and 3 drill bits just to get through that babbit!

The axle worked out with a lot of force, and worked in only
with a lot of pushing from outside while tapping
intelligently (is that a contradiction in terms?) on the bull
gear. But it finally worked in over the course of a solid hour,
not counting woe-is-me time and trips for band aids. I'm
going to fill her trans up and start her up tomorrow
morning to see if I cured my axle housing leak (flood?) with
the new gasket. Thanks for your advice!
