Disassemble old deck driveshaft?

Recommended Posts

My friend asked me 

 

“I cannot figure how to remove the mower drive shaft from the bearings and aluminum housings once I pull the side drive gears off” 

 

Kens deck

 

But I haven’t a clue, because I don’t have any of these things… Can someone advise?

Once the gear is off the bearing is "Supposed to"  slide off. What happens is the bearings wear and end up sticking themselves to the shaft and end up spinning the bearing in that aluminum housing and wrecking it. At least all the ones I've run across were that way.

Do you have the illustrated parts list for the deck?

It should illustrate what holds things together like roll pins and set screws.

Give us an idea of what deck it is and we can hunt up a manual.

 It’s a period Correct deck for a model 856,  The gear drive type, with the stamped metal deck? I don’t have any other information because it’s not in front of me…

Once you take the gear off and the gear key the bearing should come right off with a little tapping of a hammer unless the shaft is worn into the inner race which it probably is.
