Woods L306 a nightmare

After beating myself to death to get the blades off, I am wondering how to get the sheaves off of the spindle. I tried a puller on one and it wont budge. I have the puller bolts threaded down through that 2 inch top cap into the sheave its self and dont know if this is the right way to go about it or not. Does that little cap with the 2 bolts in it have to come off first? I havent tried heat yet and the manual leaves a little to be desired in this area, except buy a whole new assembly at $ 128.00 a copy. Any help on how to get these sheaves off and r & r these spindles is greatly appreciated

I can only comment on a l59, the peice with the 2 bolt holes on top has to come off first. they should be threaded but they may strip out first. I had to change the center pulley on mine and it was a bear to get off. Of course i broke it trying to get it apart.

If your sheaves are like mine (RM306) they are the taper-lock type. You remove the bolts that hold the tapered bushing to the sheave and install them in the threaded holes to force the two pieces apart. After that there's not a whole lot to replacing the bearings and races, but it has been a while since I had to repair mine... Hope this helps some!

I have a L59 Woods mower and the bolts that hold blades on that model are left hand thread (think the blades turn left too, hence the "L" in the name). Need to use a good 6 point socket on the bolt heads too and a good impact wrench does wonders.

Hope this helps.

My impact @ 200psi wouldnt touch them, had to use a 6 foot bar and stand on em. Ya I know the left hand thing, one had the nerve to round off, ground it to mectric and beat the socket on and finaly it poped. Im more interested in who's removed sheaves and done spindles over.

gemsvc told you the right way. I just repaired one spindle on my RM660.

After the pulley/sheave is removed, out comes the 4 bolts through the deck. I had to put the spindle assembly in a 20 ton press to get the bearings out. After that reassembly is very straight forward. I went to Autozone and ordered the bearing..it came over night..Federal Mogul brand made in Poland as I recall! Cost about $4. The seals were like $3 each. If you go to your friendly dealer, bend over and take your own Vaseline.
