    Posted: 07 Jan 2024 at 1:40am
After watching Thads' thread and video about broaching keyways, I am going to ask a question that has befuddled me since I owned my first Woods L306.  I have as yet NEVER had the good luck to dismount the pulleys from the mower.  I have broken off MANY 1/4" bolts that are SUPPOSED to push the head of the pulley off the shaft and make them into two parts so you can work on them.  Additionally, what grade bolt are these 1/4" bolts supposed to be?
I'm sure at this point that there are a good number of guys out there that have the same problem and are looking for a solution.
WHAT is the best way to take these pulleys apart without breaking off a bolt or stripping the threads on the pulleys?
Hopefully this questions is as clear as,,,,,,,well mud...

If you are talking about the 2 piece tapered pulleys with the 3 pusher screws, here's what I do.  First soak all in your favorite penetrating oil.  Then remove the holding screws, and place them in the removing holes.  Next, find a pipe that fits loosely around the pulley center part, but not so big as to be on any spokes of the pulley.  Take a BFH, strike the pipe, snug up the bolts and take another swing.  Rarely takes many swings...Wink

The ideal, in a world where there is no rust or corrosion:


If the center remains stuck, oil again, and use a puller to pull just the center.  It normally has a split down one side, so occasionally they break in half.  If they are really corroded, consider it a blessing if the part splits, cause it saves a lot of fussing and cussing, and a new center ain't all that expensive...Wink

The SHOCK or IMPACT works on a lot of problems.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I think they are 5 or 8, but I haven't looked at one, in several years...Confused

Idea is to put pressure on sleeve , then rap the assembly , little more pressure and another rap . Browning sheaves use their own sleeve , I use to use Taper Locks which had 2 allen screws to tighten and one as a release means . Those fit entirely inside the driven sprocket or sheave . Browning type were exposed and not flush fitting so outer collar could also be pulled with a gear puller

How do you snap that bolt?  WOW, must have been using a 'helper' bar.  Were you going the wrong way Dave?
