That would be a first generation MaxII i assume !! it apears as though the outer brg has let go and your axle has slid outward and off the inner pin bushing , your chain must be way out of alignment too no ?? you will likely have to change the outer brg, while you are at it ,those bushings have no way of greasing them so you'll want to drill through the shaft and right through the bushing and install a grease nipple for futureHe who has not cruised the back country in a 6x6 , has not lived life to it's fullest

The bronze bushing should be a press/tap fit into the end of the axle and It could be to worn too much to hold the bushing. I would also think that you need more than 1/4 inch of the rod supporting the end of the axle, I'm thinking more like 3/4". How does it look compared to the other axles? Does it apper to shorter, like it could've been cut or worn off on the end. I want to think that the bronze bushing is 1" long, so the axle end should be counter-bored atleast that much. I would remove both the left and right front axles and compare them to each other.
There is a great article in the "How to" section that explains how to jack up your machine and remove axles.
