One possible solution, if you're handy with metal, would be a saddle that 
attaches to the rear crossmember and supports the torque tube end. That 
would put the splined shaft in a decent place to accept a yoke. The splined 
shaft is common enough and there should be findable yokes to fit "normal" 
transmissions. A flat horizontal plate with a hole in it, with a sheet of 
neoprene for a dust seal is all that the working end needs.

Since the trans locates it now mocking up wouldn't be hard.

Other than sheer weight, there's no reason to pull the thing. They're very 
reliable, the suspension is reliable and comfortable. If it ain't broke...
