Thanks for the update, Tom. Sounds like you're making a good job of it.
I agree with Gene. From your description of the band, pin and all falling right off, it sounds like somebody's been in there lately. It's far more common for one end of that pin to stick, and the band stick to it, so that the band stays on the pin, whether it stays stuck in the tranny or stays on the drum and comes away with the final drive.
I'd look that anchor pin over closely. It should be long enough to seat in the transmission case and, with the band slipped over it, have enough length protruding to seat in the hole in the final. Your description of how it was behaving sounds as if either the pin was broken, or somebody replaced it with something too short. If you do have to replace it, measure carefully so as not to get it too long so that it would keep things from fitting back together.
How loose was the drum? Just slid right off or was it wobbly? There is a set screw with jam nut that sits at a little bit of an angle to the drum and can be a bear to get to that should keep it in place. Sounds like it might not have been tightened down properly. The bottom of the set screw bites into a #22 woodruff key fitted into the differential shaft, so make sure that's there, too.
The aha! forehead smacking question (the one I always hate to ask but comes humbly from the experience of the wrench wrangler who works in my garage) -- is the return spring for the pedal under the seat platform in place?
Good on ya for looking after the bearings and seals while you're in this far. Some of the others recommended it in your last post. I think you've found that pulling the final is not really a bad job, but not something you want to have to do often. There should be very very little wobble if any when the shaft is riding in that outer bearing.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
