Start Gen repair and pulley removal tips?

[Sparky-(Admin) 24,026]

Starting on the 857’s starter gen repair. The rebuild video on YouTube never mentions the pulley…and tips or tricks to get it off without destroying it?

Alright…PB Blaster and some screwdriver/hammer work and she is coming loose!

Watched a video…why does my project not go the same way the one in the video goes . 
  My end cap is off but the pulley that I should be driving outa the end cap stayed on the shaft.

Because your watching stupid videos instead of insulting the guys here.

Bearing collar or wood wedges behind the pulley hub. Put the screwdrivers down and slowly step away.

The pulley and woodruff MUST come off first. Don't worry about mangling the woodruff ... common but guard the nut like it is your wedding ring. 

It puts the rear end back on until the front end is off. Too much wobble can mar the armature. 

SG rookies like you make idiots like me  wonder  why I never did that SG instructional.

Hmm…good info. Tomorrow I’ll reassemble and try to get the woodruff out before moving forward

I'd beg to differ on that!

I've done quite a few of them tho since I am a mid sixties freak with tractors that have them. Mostly just cleaning, replacing bearings & brushes. 

I'll start putting together pictures.

  Yeah, one of the bearings is crazy loud. Now that I’ve messed with it I’m sure it’s the one behind the pulley. But I have both so it’ll get both replaced. It has always started the 857 just fine and charges perfectly, but it’s loud.

@ sparky   solid vertical mount for gen , maybe  a couple f WONDER BARS , if they can remove  mower deck  spindle pulleys , that equal double leverage pull point  might just do it , don't forget  lucas green chassis grease  has a 550 degree  drop point  also  polyurea , anti sling rated , not had a failure  or related bearing  whine noise , in all my  pto driven  attachments.  pete
