Need help removing pulleys from spindle
I'm attempting to restore a 44c deck that is in pretty bad shape as far as the spindles are concerned. I have the top nut off and after inspection I can see the pulley is keyed on the shaft. I know I could us a 3 jawed puller but when I tried it on the center spindle I bent the pulley really bad with no luck with removing it. I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy a center spindle and pulleys.
I want to rebuild the outside spindles if I can get the D*** pulleys off with out ruining them. I've had them soaking in PB for about 2 days now. Any help or tricks you guys might have to get them off would be appreciated.

Not many "tricks". I only rebuild spindles if they are bad, and I've never had a pulley not come off as of yet. Seen many people on here who couldn't get them off. Yes, if you use a puller it will damage the pulley. You should use a bearing puller like this:
5863317-23.jpg Take the bearing apart as far as you can so you are just left with the spindle and the pulley (Depending on the style of spindle you have.) Then use the puller or put the assembly in a press. You still may not get it off. Pulleys are still available new from CCC. Just cut the center pulley off and save the spindle. Cheaper that way.

I have used this method numerous times with success. First I remove the zerk fitting, back off the retaining nut about 1/3 of the way. Next, I carefully heat the hex on the pulley until it is almost red hot. I recommend doing this outside because of fumes, potential fire and that it needs to be quenched with water. Cool the pulley quickly with water...grasp the hex on the pulley with channel locks and tap nut with hammer. CAREFUL NOW! You are removing the pulley...so don't be too aggressive as damage to threads could occur. This process has worked well for me!

At least you have the type that are mounted on top of the deck housing,pressing it out worked for me using a vice and some spacers.Fawgetabowit if they are the other type,the sawzall will be needed, or bend the crap out of the pulley getting it off.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
