been there
 

grease fitting doesn't unscrew. Torch heat and pry it up. If no torch, a electric/air powered cut off wheel. If not..hack saw cuts on a few sides and whack cut openings with a chisel.
A reminder* 44A decks are different from other 44" in most all parts look up books/pages.
btw I'm sending you a pm.

druwl, if you were going to get a replacement, check this out....

I GOT IT!!!!!

I put the locking nut back on the shaft, upside down and tightened it down to where it was smooth with the top of the shaft. Took a !/2 inch drive socket and put it upside down on top of the nut so I gained as much surface area as possible. Drove 3 chisels under the pulley and on top of the bolts holding the thing to the deck. Sprayed it with PB Blaster, smoked a cigarette.... started tapping the socket and low and behold the thing started moving!! Finished up with a smallish crow bar alternating bolts and tapping. Easy peezy :)

I'm off to ebay to get a new pulley!!

Thanks y'all

I'd also like to thank my dad who taught me the value of 'tapping' rather than 'beating'.

Why bother trying to E-bay one...... just get one from CCC. They're only $25.

I've got the site bookmarked for future reference. I had a $10 off coupon thru PayPal/EBay so the pulley cost $13.85. :beerchug:

Pulley's here! Should be mowing before dark.

Glad to hear it.:beer2:

*groan*

Who forgot to remind me to get a new belt? :bash:

lol

Hey you need a new belt. Join the crowd that focus only on the job at hand and end up a little short.
