Default 38" deck rebuild
Is there a trick to tearing down these spindles? I took the cup off the bottom but can't figure out how to get the pulley off.

I have taken the pulleys off while they are still on the deck , but i guess you could put in it a vise to support it.

Spray some PB Blaster on the shaft , let it set for a few minutes. Put it in a fixture of some kind to support it , or bolt it back on the deck. Bolting back to the deck would probably be the easiest thing to do because you are going to be hitting the shaft with a BFH.

Get a pry bar wedged all the way under the pulley , have a friend help push down on the pry bar. A pry bar with a curved tip works the best.

Take a deep socket the same size of the shaft or a little smaller , place it on the shaft , with the friend holding down on the pry bar all the way under the pulley , take about a 3 lb hammer and start hitting the socket to force the pulley off.

If you have a big brass punch , that will work in place of the socket.

If you have a hydraulic press , no biggee to get it off. It is still pretty easy to do it the other way if the shaft isn't rusted really bad.

There should be enough room under the pulley for the pry bar , but watch as you are hitting the shaft so you don't bend the pulley. Even if you do bend it a small amount , you can fix it with a Crescent wrench or punch in a vise.

Power blaster, a press and maybe some heat.

The pulley comes out the bottom?

As you are prying up on the pulley and hitting the shaft with the socket , the pulley will slide up the shaft.

If you know someone with a press , maybe they could take it off for you.

No, the pulley comes off the shaft from the top. If you have a press all you need to do is to support the upper part of the housing and press the shaft down since you already have the lower part of the housing removed.

Ok, gotcha. I was worried when I seen that nut with the keyway inside, thought it was threaded. When I tear it down tonight I will take some pictures for reference and post in case anyone else needs.

Here is the order of assembly, I took a 7/16 impact socket and placed over the shaft and tapped a few times with a 3lb. Hammer and the shaft/bearing assembly came out of the pulley.

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.
