Notice in this photo the two key ways, one is on the short larger diameter shaft. This is where the hub mounts. the smaller
inner shaft is obviously the long axle shaft that travels all the way across the mower. This smaller keyway is how the diff lock operates. When engaged the diff lock locks these two shafts together at the hub face using a square plate and square block.

the black plate with the square hole in it goes over the wheel studs and the square block drops in and out of that square hole in the plate depending on if you want it engaged or not
