you can see the damage in the picture.

Axle shaft is damaged, spindle is damaged. (cannot get the axle out of the spindle)
Hub is damaged.

Been to scared to look at the differential.

Seal must have been leaking. I had oil in the hub, but the brake cylinder was leaking really bad, so didn't think twice about it leaking.

It ran dry and its kaputs now.

Found an axle for 200 here locally, but the guy hasn't responded yet. I'ma have to put it back together to move it out of the barn.
