Yes the caliper and the rotor must slide
freely for effective long lasting brake performance.The rotor hub is
aluminum, so alternating applications of propane torch heat and the
penetrant of your choice will resolve that issue.
Of course after doing that, another shaft seal will be in
order. :)
Also, note that the trans axle won't leak if there isn't enough oil in
it, just like a Detroit Diesel® or a radial aircraft engine. <G>

Time to get better acquainted with your Fearless Peerless ®. It's not
rocket science, but here are several ways to cause yourself pain ,agony
and expense during tear down.
Well, what I'll probably do is get another transmission, mount it, then
replace this one. In the meantime I loosened then tightened the motor,
and the belts went from a finger-width of deflection to "not really
tight". However the tractor does not slip (these are power rated belts,
they do a much better job than normal ones)
20 minutes of mowing and I don't see anything leaking. But what really
annoying is the fact that the brake disc is (and has been since day
zero) stuck solid on the flange. It's supposed to move, right?
