We think the fitting was cracked and adding grease to it that day just cracked it more to the point the pto spinning at high speeds just shot it and any grease out until it ran dry and broke under load......was wondering what popped me in the back until I noticed it wasnt cutting anymore XD

Every winter I prune a lot of trees and clean up any dead or down trees.
I use my tractor carry all the debris to the spot where I will burn it about this time of year. I also use the tractor to carry all the stuff I need for burn day and to push the pile up as it burns. When it was almost completely burned up, I used the front end loader to haul some water to put it out. Usually just let it burn completely but the wind was blowing and I wanted to be done with it. 
Then spent a couple hours mowing with my ZTR 
Here are a couple videos. First is a time lapse of burning. Should have put camera way closer. 
Second is a short video of the fire. Can't believe I held the phone in portrait mode.

I'm trying to figure how that could strip like that. Does it not get enough oil in there and then get moisture in through the outside of the shaft causing excessive friction? Maybe try lubing the shaft splines with high moly content grease when you reassemble it. Looks from the rust that you are getting moisture in from the pump shaft side.

I'm doing an oil/filter and air filter change, and a new battery before I start mowing for the year. Of course I don't yet have all the filters so it's all torn apart.
I should have taken the FEL off first, as it's a real pain in the ass being in the way. |

No tractor action recently, but my dad picked up a log splitter yesterday. My whole life we've always split all the firewood we deal with by hand, but he's been wanting a hydraulic splitter for at least ten years now, and he finally got one. I actually kind of enjoy splitting by hand, but while using this guy isn't much of a workout it's still kind of fun.
Anyway it was delivered by the place he bought it from yesterday. Had a ball hitch setup which my dad didn't have. So I moved it for him with the Tacoma and we tested it out on some oak. Split everything without trouble; much of it while big was fairly straight grained, but even the stuff that was a little knotty went easy.

It's a bad design. It is actually separate from the gearbox so no oil gets to it. No grease ZERK, nothing. It will get some on assembly though. Dropped off pump today to get fixed. The appearance reminds me of an issue with a motorcycle I had once. The Kawasaki Vulcan 750 had a VERY similar system for the rear drive shaft. They were all improperly lubed at the factory and if you didn't take it apart and re-lube it with high moly content grease, they would fail and when they failed they looked very similar to your issue. I'd love to see the pictures of the upper portion of the transmission that you removed to get to where you are with that. Here's what the motorcycle issue looks like when improperly lubed (this one is really bad) 
This is what I would use to lube those splines before you put it back together.

RE: filter wrenches.
When I was a kid and could barely afford an oil filter let alone a specialty wrench, we just stuck a screw driver through the side of the filter and twisted it off. Put new filter on with your hands and check for leaks. All done.
