Did you guys really get that driveshaft out with fan and welded flange by just unbolting the motor and moving it forward on the 125/105? I changed my drive shaft earlier this year and went the route of splitting the tractor rather than move the motor forward.
The way I saw it.... the driveshaft has to be pulled out back ways because of the hole in chassis cross member blocks fan and welded flange. The hydro oil filter is also tough to wrench around unbolting the driveshaft from the rag joint. It just seemed that there was too much stuff in the way do do that on my 125 by moving motor forward. Maybe I'm wrong. It took me about 1 hour 15 minutes to do the job splitting the tractor. But then again, I didn't read no manual, either...
