I don't think as long as you don't get stupid that is fine. You run more of a risk of breaking the hub than pulling the threads.

Here's the issue I see with the whole puller thing....
The hub isn't stuck in the center, it's stuck on the dowel which is off center to one side. When you use a puller, the force is in the center, but it will be pulling to one side because that's where it's stuck. It will "cock" while pulling and you could break the hub. I've never had one so stuck that I couldn't get it off with a little bit of working. I think Y-Sam's approach combined with some heat like Sam suggested is the best approach. Really, don't make this harder than it really is. I was thinking I broke one one time. But IIRC, it was really corroded and brittle from age and deterioration.

Good deal then. I'll do some tapping tonight on it and if that does not work snag a torch from a friend to apply some heat.

On another note, put anti-seize or grease on the dowel when you reinstall it. That way next time it comes right off.

Man this worked out great! I used my air hammer and just put a bit in it that we talked about a long time about to push out spirol pins. It's the bit with that nip on the tip just like the correct punch to use to push out those PITA pins. So I just hammered the drive shaft a little and pulled the thing off by hand! OMG, few things I've done so far have actually worked this perfect. I mean this just worked great and was safe on the hub. Just like you folks said, the hub was stuck solid inside the fly wheel. Cool part was that came off at the same time! Nice win for the rookie I have to say.

Glad it worked for you.

I have been using an air hammer/chisel on flywheels and pump rotors for about a year now. Slick.

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.
