Pescatore:
What a bummer. At least fresh atf is not corrosive,
and hopefully it didn't get on rubber bits.
Turin:
Bummer.... but I'm betting you'll get this rectified in no time. My crap takes years.
Dave Swanson:
Parts came in - Thanks Harpers! I took extra care assembling it for the second time!
Test static runs today passed with flying colors. It is ready again.
Still shot while running.

What was the problem?

On the clutch input shaft there is a snap ring that keeps the bearing in place. I had reused the old snap ring - lesson learned. The snap ring came out of the groove, and allowed the bearing to shift position.
This allowed the position of the input shaft to move enough that the o-ring no longer was on its intended sealing surface.
Pictures borrowed from This Old Tractor.
