Need help removing spindle pulley

[Kevbo 80]

Anyone know if there is a trick to removing the spindle pulley without bending them up with a crowbar?

Thanks!

Remove the grease zert and use this....with lots of penetrating oil.

KEVIN. Put a 1 1/8" deep well on the blade side of shaft and hit it with the impact. Put a piece of hose over the lower threads to protect them. Go forward and reverse repeat as needed. Hold the pulley with a belt. It has always worked for me over a dozen times.

THE PULLEY IS NOT KEYED RIGHT?

Good idea! It is not keyed.

kevin next time try it before you take it all apart. take the pulley nut off and the belt tensioner will help hold the pulley.

This was posted before in another thread by you I suppose.  It sure helped me out....wish I had known about 1 deck earlier.....

   My three spindles seem to be okay. There are no grinding sounds and the shafts do not seem to have any lateral play in them. Each spindle turns freely. Call me Mister Lucky ..... so far. Removing the pulleys is another story. The drive pulley is 4" diameter while the two outside pulleys are 3-3/8" diameter. The idler pulley is 3-1/4" diameter. The idler pulley is totally shot and I did get it off the deck. The drive pulley and one of the two outside pulleys are also okay. One outside pulley simply has a "nick" in the upper rim. Should I be concerned about the nick? Also, my spindles do not have a grease fitting. Permanently sealed spindle bearings?

   I cannot seem to find a service or repair manual. I do not know the brand of the deck, ( W.H. I think ), and certainly don't know the year. The tractor is a 1969 Commando V7 aka 1-4741. See photos attached.

i have tried using chipped puleys,they cut the belts up on me,so i had to get a new one

If you taper the inside edge of the chipped place it should be OK to use. Those are cast iron pulleys I have used one with a similar chipped place with out any problem. Take the slide out and sand all the rust off so it can keep the belt tight.

This deck has the blades turning counter-clockwise.

The blades are no longer available from Toro and not aware of anyone else ever supplying them.
