I would start by jacking up the right side and turning the wheel by hand, listening for noise. If the wheel is hard to turn or does not turn smoothly, it could be a spider gear in the differential. Could also be an axle bearing or associated with the brake and brake pinion shaft. I would also do the same for the left side to be sure. Then I would start by disassembling the brake which is the easiest.
The tractor would not pull at all with a broken axle and the wheel should turn twice as fast if the left wheel is stopped by applying the brake.
Unfortunately, if the brake pinion or spider gears are involved, the top cover (and a bunch more)will have to come off to get to the problem. The old Laugh-In joke about when the Dr. ask "Does it hurt to do that?" and the reply of the patient is "Yes", then the Dr. replys "Then don't do that" is applicable here. I would drain the transmission oil, pull the pto and look for metal pieces. If you don't find anything too alarming, then run the tractor without using that brake as much as possible.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
