Kurt, Sorry to hear about your tough luck. I saw an R62 at the dealers that had suffered a similar fate. A couple years ago, the guys from Agco mentioned an axle stabilizer kit that takes a lot of the strain off the pivot tube. Kitn 71373037 Didn't seem like a lot of money compared to the alternative, so I put one on my machine. There are a couple of pictures if you follow the link to "Axle Pads" on the Home page of my site.
