I quit for today and would like a few suggestions. A little backround King Kutter bush hog and the lower seal on the gearbox is leaking. Nut for the stumpjumper came right off but the stumpjumper is on there. I've tried all of the beating, banging and soaking. I've made a cradle with a log chain around the blades and put a 12 ton bottle jack in there trying to pull it off. I've stood it up and tried heating the splines first with a propane plumbers torch then broke out the Oxy-acetelyne. I've used logging wedges behind the stumpjumper and pry bars while heating. I've sprayed PB Blaster on the hot splines. I now have it back flat on stands after all of that and set the bottle jack up again and I've got pressure on it which is how I left it.
I'm open to suggestions. I really want to not destroy it but I do have an old K-K bush hog that has a rusty body and the stump jumper is loose on it. If I really need to I can use the other stump jumper and even the gearbox of need be.
