B-80 Front PTO Pulley Mount

[Brother Grilka 0]

Hi, I have a 1977 B-80 and the part pictured here that holds the pulleys for the PTO/Deck connection has broken. First-of-all, what is this part called? One of the pulleys came apart and damaged the rod on which it was mounted. Is this fixable? Does anyone know of a good place to look for a replacement? Thanks!

You CAN rebuild that drive. You do need to have some mechanical skill (and tools) to remove and replace the pulleys.The inner race from the v pulley can be split with a Dremel for removal. New pulleys can be had from many sources for short money.

If you can't or don't want to do the work, you can buy a complete one. It's your call.

If you replace it, the damaged drive still has value!

@Wayne0  , done a number of them , most critical failure point is the generic grease in the bearings , due to heat and angular stress , those bearings are typically  6203( 3/4 ) 2RSC3  with wide rubber side shields , thats the opportunity savng  point. carefully remove the shields , fine pocket flat screwdriver , small putty knife , once started , its an easy removal. wipe ot original grease , also carb cleaner flush , use a 550 temp deg  rated grease , lucas green or lucas marine grease , refill to same ammount , put back seals . also lay out your tear down , reassemble same way , lubricate ass you go with spacers , done the exact thing to all my mower decks and pto belt drive set up .  deck can / should easily easily move by hand , at belt open area .pete
