Well, the good news is it looks to be a "third member" type differential (like a Ford 9 inch for those of you who understood that). I should be able to buy a pre-assembled third member (setting up clearances in a differential is above my skill level), assuming that's where it's broken, replace the seals and go. Around 400 bucks as opposed to 1000+. Also shouldn't have to drop the axle housing which is a big plus.

Could be, but it kept locking both rear wheels even just pulling it up on the rollback, so I doubt it. No real way to tell until I take it apart.
This is what comes of not changing my own oil. I haven't been under it in a couple of years, who knows how long it's been dry. There doesn't seem to be a hint of oil in the damned thing and I know the place she takes it to is supposed to check it.

They check the diffy? That's a first. I've had it checked by request, but never as part of any regular service. Now even the 1500+ point inspections.

Well, I can change that bearing in an hour or so, I suppose. I don't think i'm going to go pull the motor during the thunderstorm we're supposed to be having tonight, though. Right now I'm trying to ID the bearing so I can pick two up (if I'm going to do it, it's not that much more work to change the other one as well).
Prolly put some new brushes in as well.

Seriously, I replaced mine five or so years ago and got a Hayward Super Pump. I've been quite satisfied with the pumps performance, but this is the second time I've had motor problems.
