Help! Cant get PTO Pulley off.

trying to figure out how to remove the pulley off of my PTO shaft that powers my belly mounted Dearborn cutterbar.

I tried to put a puller in the two presently unfilled holes on the base fitting??? won't budge. Help![/img]
 
I believe that the two empty holes are for putting a bolt in each and tightening them equally and it will pull the tapered inner hub out of the outer pulley hub which will loosen its grip on the pto shaft. My 2 cents worth Greg NE
 
Take all 3 bolts out then take 2 of them and put in the empty holes and tighten then down. The way that works is that center part is cone shaped so when the 3 bolts are in there normal holes they cause the center part to close down on the shaft and locks the pulley one. I have a finish mower here that I have been working on and it has the same sort of pulleys on it
 
This is what amazes me about this forum. Somebody here always manages to come up with the answer.
 
Two things we know that are awesome:

"Old" guys. (I'm getting there...old....not awesome.)

AND

PB Blaster (As seen on TV.)

I was really cranking down on those bolts. I even put on my safety glasses in case that baby exploded in some way. Put the PB Blaster to it and it suddenly slid off like butter.

Let's just hope we don't lose any of our ol' geezers that have all this knowledge in their heads.

Take a geezer to lunch today. :wink:
 

I hope no one gets offended by my use of Geezer. Heck, I'm 68 myself so I guess I'm allowed. :wink:

I can find an answer to just about any N problem here in about three minutes. It used to take me days, weeks or one time years to do the same. Great resource.

I learned everything I know from this forum. I live in the desert country of Southern California. Not exactly tractor country. Nobody to really turn to for any information around here.

I don't know if I'd even trust any machine shop around here if I decided to do a rebuild. They just opened up a TSC in Hemet about a year and a half ago. Up until then I had to get absolutely everything I needed on the internet.
