very nice job.looks new again

I'm going for beer before I tackle anymore.....this is the splined gift that keeps giving.

Ye are not going to believe this.....But after a whole lot of worrying and a little praying I have it off.To be fair my buddy Foxy John came to the rescue.I had made up another strong back to grip the middle of the shaft shaft where it was recessed,this was made out two 3/4 threaded flanges cut...

Thanks for the advice and thanks for reading Aardvark.My poor little tractor is in a zillion pieces and this set back is a very unwanted one. Best of luck with the mower upgrade..I'd be interested in seeing a photo or two of the finished product. I still havent had a chance to try the "big...

Thanks Steve hoping the little orange kubota god is smiling on me...another idea to throw in is this... Found on the net for removing splined outboard engine shafts.pickle fork does the prizing..no good for me here but someone reading might have a use it

I'm hopefully going to tackle this on the weekend.I think after hearing all my options as ye say its going to be" a suck it and see "approach , but protecting the engine is the priority .I'll use the approaches from least severe first building up to a thin disc on my mini-grinder.If by some...

I think its that or cut it after the collar and use a puller to get it off ,turn down a new shaft in 316 and weld the old spline on to that. I have seen it going I even used it once about 15 yrs ago...It does spin fine but realistically I am hoping it works rather than knowing.I suppose its...

I never refreshed the page.just read the answer from your previous text.Tnx

Its in moderate shape at best...but still running...and I can repair the body damage cheaply so ideally Id like to keep it.what does the wire at the front of that pulley do.Will it affect the running of the tractor if its mising.

sorry Rob I wasnt clear..i dont mean the engine block I mean the block that the mower pulley is bolted to ,its a big lump of aluminium.As seen in the last photo's

Just one last question.If I put a bottle jack on the crank shaft pulley heat the splined collar and push off the alluminium block will i damage my engine or is it just the crank pulley i risk damaging

Thanks rob.that will be next weeks project.

Its the pulley on the very front by the aluminium block has the wire coming out.

can anyone tell me ...in the last photo it shows the carriage part of the throttle lever.. is this supposed to have the round bent pipe mark on it.Not sure is it from the lever being pressed on something round or is it actually supposed to be there as part of the design. Dont want to replicate...

here it is.I actually think the old one will look better if painted butI have the choice either way

Pedals complete.throttle lever came next...

I looked again there isnt a hole,bolt or blemish to say something like that was there.Think it might be slightly different arrangement to yours:mad:Drilling out those bolts would have been easier than what might have to come yet.The corrosion actually inside the pulley is a minimum so unless the...

Steve Sitting hear getting dizzy at the thought of which way to go.It came with a center mounted mower deck run from the front pulley.Admittedly its also in horrific condition.The fly wheel in the front ...does this power my lights as well as drive the belts there is a wire coming off it i...

Hi steve, I was looking for item 4 on your diagram looks like a bolt holding the male spline flange to the pulley.Should this be visible?

and the linkage for the clutch pedal ..
