I'm having a difficult time imagining how that could occur. I also have a 240U with a Wagner loader.
Here's a photo of my 240U rear axle. The first thing you need to identify is whether the movement you experienced is the hub on the axle,or the axle out of the transmission. Compare one side of your tractor to the other. The hub is pressed onto a splined axle and in my experience, requires a 20 ton hydraulic press to get off. There is also a 5/8? bolt that holds the hub onto the end of the axle. See if that is in place. Just by comparing the distance between the hub and the inner edge of the splines on the axle, and the hub and the axle bearing cap of the axle housing, between both sides of the tractor should make it clear what has moved.
The axle shafts themselves are held against the transmission bull gears internally by large C clips. However, even if one of them somehow broke, the ridge on the axle against which the inner bearings sit would prevent the axle from moving outward.

The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
