B7100 removing crankshaft pulley with PTO adapter

[WilGan]

Any advice on how to remove the crankshaft pulley/harmonic balancer? My manual does not describe it, and I would like to see a schematic before putting a puller on it.

Here is one version of the B7100 From illustrated parts list at Kubota USA site (but it may not be your tractor). Under the DYNAMO SECTION for some odd reason).

Remove the bolts (blue), remove the PTO extension (yellow), then bend the lock plate out of the way (green), then loosen the nut and remove nut (red) and lock plate then pulley can be removed.

The PTO shaft is sometimes part of the crankshaft itself so that might be what you have???

I thought this is what I have, there are three bolts which I removed, I tapped the PTO with a mallet, and it doesn't want to move. I will try again

Hmm.....To get #29 off #10,use a putty knife between them and whack it a few times. Probably been on 'forever'...

Not 100% sure but the crankshaft may extend into that removable shaft. At least the same illustrated parts list shows it extends

You may need to remove the hood and radiator to be able to get to the removable shaft better?

Yes you nailed it, the adapter is hollow and the crank splines extends through it.
Use brake parts cleaner and clean the spline space before trying to remove it.
