im trying to remove the depth control shaft and outter cast iron bracket. I got everything off, the top cover, the cast arm that goes on the depth control shaft, I got they key out of the end of the shaft, I greased both grease zerks on the outside until grease oozed out the end of the shaft on the inside, but for the life of me I can not get the shaft to move either in or out, im at a lost for words and Im ready to cuss, someone help me please!
 
you need to drive the roll pin out of the casting that the top link hooks to drive it thru and you can find it when you get all a part
 
I got the roll pin out (I think) I tapped it til I couldn't feel it move anymore, but let say it is out, where can I get any pressure, pull, or leverage to get the shaft out? I cant get behind it because its capped off on the pulley side, and I cant get anything on the exposed end to pull it, etc. getting closer to sayin a cuss word when I see it tommarow again!
 
I'm confused by your roll pin comment? You drove it part way out? You'll have to drive it out, as in all the way out..

Your load/depth control shaft should be threaded in the end for a bolt. I have used a long bolt with a fender washer to be able to use a screwdriver of small bar to pull the shaft.

Good luck with your project. A while back Deere had the specs wrong on the oil seal. They were incorrectly sized which caused leaks. I replaced mine which leaked very soon after replacement. I yet to do it over again with the correct seal. A buddy did his only to find it leaked. He then realized that the new Deere seal was not sized correctly. He ordered a new seal at the parts house by using his old seal. He re-did the whold task over again but his no longer leaks.

I was disheartened to say the least that mine still leaks only due to Deeres mistake.
