To get the collar and bearing off you need to remove the nut and set screw from the collar. Off to the side of the set screw hole is another hole that is for a small punch. As you face the front of the tractor you want to "punch" the collar clockwise. This is opposite the way the engine turns when running. It shouldn't take much to loosen the collar. Once loose it should slide back a tad on the crank and clear the bearing. Everything should come off now but may need a little help by tapping the backside of the bearing. This is another place for some PB Blaster. Once off you should clean the crank with a fine emery cloth.
As far as your list goes you only need a couple of things. The pressure plates should be fine. I clean mine up on a 4" stationary belt sander. The main spring and clutch disk will be in the kit. The bearing, collar, buttons (wear and thrust), set crews, and any separate parts for the pto are to be ordered individually.
I also take a 1/4-20 tap and clean out all three set screw holes while you have it in your hand. You'll see some fine, rusty crap come out.
Leave the snap ring alone unless it's broken or obviously in need of replacement. Take some steel wool and clean the inside of the pto casting the goes on the crank and has the snap ring. After painting I put a very thin coat of grease in this area and on the crank upon installation.
If you can get the basket pulley off with little trouble now would be a good time to clean and paint it. They are prone to surface rust on the backside; this is one of the areas the paint gun never reaches after installtion.
Be sure and paint the parts to the pto too. I paint everything but the face of the thrust button and the chrome (nickel) bolts. Try not to get paint on the inside that slides over the crank or in the set screw holes.
Good luck once more.....Wayne
