So with the manual to reference made the old track removal a cinch, only ran into a few problems with some parts condition, thebearing for my drive shaft on the clutch side is completely toast, not sure if there are after market one available today? And my Drive shaft centre wheel is pretty bent but wasn't sure on its importance over all?

The bearings are pretty common. Still available from John Deere but many guys get them from places like NAPA.

Ok thanks, I'll replace both sides then, any idea on that centre wheel on the drive shaft? Tried to load pictures off my phone but it wouldn't let. Me

I would think the center idler wheel is necessary with a round drive shaft. The center idler was eliminated with the change of the hex shaft, they were stronger. The wheel is held in place with bearing lock collars but by now you will never unscrew the set screw. I have removed them with a cut-off wheel.
