A little update on things for the curious. First, some kind soul did a marvelous job of modifying my frame to have a bolt-in crossmember, so gearbox removal was much simpler for me.
Second, see the scary and interesting pic...um, I think I found the problem. Ever seen a mainshaft break? I haven't until now. There doesn't seem to be any other damage besides the roller bearing, at least in the gearbox.

Wow! Now you'll have to wonder, was it the bearing that caused the failure, or the shaft failure that caused the bearing failure?
