Diagnosing Axle Failure and Planning Extraction

What happens here

The operator attempts to restart the mower but receives no response from the affected wheel. Upon closer inspection, it's determined that the axle or CV shaft has snapped, rendering the mower inoperable and difficult to move manually. The mower is partially submerged in the pond, making extraction a challenge. Two other crew members arrive to assess the situation and plan the recovery.

Goal: Confirm broken axle and devise extraction strategy
