Yes, the bolt is regular right hand thread. And yes, you can take the drive shaft out without splitting the tractor. You have the drive coupling loose and that is probably the hardest part. To get the shaft out, take three (every other one) of the bolts out holding the cluch pressure plate to the flywheel. There should be three holes in the pressure plate that have no bolts in them. Put the bolts you took out in those holes and tighten them down. This will compress the clutch spings and relieve the clutch plate so it can move enough that you can tilt the drive shaft down and get the shaft out. It's been a while since I did this, so there may be a little more to it, but it should be pretty obvious as to what to do. It may be necessary to remove the cross shaft that works the clutch fork to get enough clearance, but I don't think this is necessary on the H. If you have to remove that cross shaft, post back for more instructions.
