Any one ever changed to seals out in a 5ft mower
(bush hog type) ? Finally got the castle nut off the bottom but now how does the stump jumper come off? I've heard the shaft is splined and tapered, and I've tried everything from crowbars to a gear puller.
Anyone have any great ideas, I'm tired of slinging gear oil and killing grass. And busting my knuckles without any success.

Drive some solid wedges between the deck and the stump jumper-T Bar so as to make the jumper solid as possible. Choose a spot where the 'hog' frame will give support and align the T Bar part of the jumper with the wedges. Put heat on the T bar while under pressure. Give the spindle a good rap with a maul. A good hardwood block between the spindle and the hammer will protect spindle threads. It is a good idea to leave the nut flush with the end of the spindle. Be careful and hit the spindle straight or you may have big problems with damaged threads.
good luck

johnny mac,
It depends on what brand of mower you have.
Some are splined and some are straight shaft with a key.

Photo shows the vertical shaft on a Woods mower that I replaced the seals and lower bearings on last fall. I had a 12 ton bottle jack attached to the T-bar and heated the collar to cherry red, and still couldn't get the T-bar off.
Used Dell's white vinegar rust removal method on the shaft...soaked it for a week and half. Rigged the bottle jack on it again and left it sit overnight. Next morning I was able to remove the T-bar.
I wouldn't recommend using grease in the gearbox in place of oil. That's what took the bearings out on this mower. In fact, I got the mower for free, since previous owner couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work.
hth,

I too was faced with the same problem. Unable to get the shaft free of the stump jumper, I gave up and switched to a heavier gear lube. I rarely use the hog anymore anyway.

The one I have had tapered splines and I was able to use a little heat and tap it off.
