Thanks again for the reply. There is indication that there has already been work done to the transmission in the last 300 hours. I again hope it is an easy fix (not costly fix).
I go to church with the Agco parts guy, and he seems to think we can get some parts for it or get them tracked down. According to the date and time it has had less than 300 hours in the last 12 years. If you look at date and time stamps in the picture it has indication that work has already been done to the rear end and maintenance has been kept up on it.
I still plan on calling around to other shops and see what their hourly rate is. This is the first tractor I have bought for the farm. I have always wanted an Allis Power Shift. With my Dad passing away recently everything seemed to fall into place like he wanted me to buy it. I have to believe and have hope that this is a simple clutch or drive plate issue.
To answer the question I did save the filter when I changed it. I will gladly check the next time I am at the farm. I did see tiny metallic iron fillings against the screen, nothing major. Not a lot of slug, just black oil like clutch/drive plates were going bad. Again it had power driving up hills on the way to the farm, never really lost more than 200-300 RPMS going up steeps hills, shifts great between gears, high/low works great, and the parking brake worked as it should.

It is certainly a possibility previous work has been done to the rear end, I see what looks like a date on the two speed shift cover on the rear end. I also see what looks like the possibility of a black belly ring gear on your maroon belly tractor, all indications of previous work. I would hope like heck IF the trans was previously worked on, the lower cover and filter screen would have been removed and cleaned, but it is possible the large items you found in there "could" have been overlooked, and are not from the current issue.
If I may, I will suggest right now, that the only thing I would source from AGCO is a seal kit, new clutch discs, and new shaft nuts........ALL other items I would find on my own from a reputable salvage yard, I know of at least one good one that has a lot of 70xx trans parts, and bearings I get straight from the manufacture, I.E. Timken or equivalent.
I wish I was in a different position at the moment, or I would come help you out, those trans are not the hard to work on if you have the right facilities and equipment to do the job.
