We remove a stuck on PTO pulley from a John Deere 125 automatic riding lawn mower.
This is the easy way to remove the rusted on PTO pulley or drive pulley from a riding lawn mower.
We use an air hammer with a blunt end and penetrating oil ( amzn.to/3RwFR5y )
If you do not have an air hammer you can use a regular hammer and lightly tap with a punch but it takes a significantly longer amount of time.

Harmonic Balancer puller works great. Put the crank bolt in a few threads and screw the HB puller on. Takes a few minutes to bolt it to the pulley and a few seconds to pop it off.
These pulleys are ok to do that with but many of them are weak and will bend if it is really stuck. Great tip!
I just removed a Stuck pulley from a 2006 cub cadet.. and It took m4 1 week, heat, cans of penetrating oil, hammers, pry bars, a puller,, and ultimately I had to cut it out with a grinder and hammer chisel
Oh boy, really welded on there!
This worked great. remember light love taps and the pullet walked off easily after soaking with penetration oil any where I could get into. Thanks for the idea!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I just used a regular hammer on the end like you mentioned. Saved me from getting out some sort of puller and messing up the pulley.
Awesome! Great job! Thanks for watching!
Grazie mille per il video, sono riuscito a rimuovere la puleggia del trattorino Ryder!🎉
Awesome job!!
Thank you. Mine was a 1980 wards and I was fighting it and fighting it and then I watched this and it came off in all of 5 seconds
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I agree with using the air hammer. But I believe if you would have put a longer bolt in there with a dimple in the center of the bolt head. And then used your air hammer with a pointed air chisel placed inside that dimpled spot it would have been easier to get it out
Definitely agree there, does seem to work better
And I just bought an air hammer too. Nice! Great tip, Thanks
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
Worked perfectly for me! Thanks
Glad to hear it helped! Great job!
Kimball Midwest penetrating oil. Hit the bottom of the pulley on the shaft to vibrate the penetrating fluid down the shaft. Tap the side of the sleeve to release the pulley.
Play by play
Use a sacrificial bolt with a divot drilled/punched into the head into which a pointy air hammer chisel will seat. Taryl Fixes All has several sizes of these bolts he keeps on had for just this. Seems like the penetrating oil got down into there really good. Thx.
Right on!
Thanks❤
Glad to help!
What about heating between the two pulley ?
Definitely will help
Better idea is to get another matching bolt; Drill the center off the nut and taper the end of punch to help keep the impact hammer from wondering all over the place.
That definitely helps keep things centered up! Many times we will use a bolt with a drill hole just started to make a little dimple to keep position. Thanks for watching!
I use a 8 inch 1/4 extension. I use the square part of it to put the air hammer in. The extension will bottom out in the hole without damaging the threads. Been doing it for yrs. But it will damage the extension a little. So I use it just for these jobs.
Awesome info!
Great Video.. very helpful
Thank you for watching
Good deal. Liked, subscribed and dropped a comment. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!!
Thanks for the tip!
Yeah thanks for watching!!
I used a gear puller, I ended up boogering up the threads, I like this way better.
Yeah a puller works in some situations but I do not use them often because they can bend the pulley also. Thanks for watching!
If you snap the bolt.. sort the issue permantly.. weld a couple of nuts on it where you can then drill holes for grub screws.. hell of alot easier in the future for replacing belts etc.. not so inclined to seize
As far as im concerned..
Works for me anyways!
That's is a good idea as a last resort! I have never broken one coming out but i'm sure some have come close!
Thanks for watching!!
@@IndRepair thankyou!
I'm having the opposite problem mine is just sliding down. Is there supposed to be a bolt in there
A bolt will hold the pulley onto the shaft, yes
Looks like you still had tension on the drive belt. That may have been providing lateral tension, working against you. Just saying.👍😁
There was not tension on the belt, if there was I would have needed to work against it to remove the pulley when it finally came off. Some models (like zero turns) you will not have the option to remove the tension with a brake, you will have to roll it off a pulley first
Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
have you ever tried 50/50 atf - acetone ?
I sure haven't...work well?
@@IndRepair better than any spray can stuff....
@@bobhaddock957 I will give it a try! Thanks!
loosen bolt , air hammer on head of bolt , fast , no lube needed
Doesn't work quite as well in my opinion but if it works it works! Thanks for watching!
I do not believe mine has a bolt when I looked under. It is on an opposed twin. Could it have broken off?
It sure could have!
@@IndRepair Just took it off, needed a 5/8 with a small extension. The bolt is in the center of the stack pulley! This is a 2000ish murray 42".
Also Murray put a ton of antisieze..it just dropped out. The 'key' looks like a dimple or weld in the tube that slides on the crankshaft keyway. Must be a custom part.
@@alb12345672 Glad you got it taken care of! Great job!
@@alb12345672 It sure is pretty custom! Someone must have had it off before? I have never seen anti-seize from the factory
Won't work in most cases. Not for the really stuck ones for sure. This one was barely stuck.
Do them all the time with this method and it is the most effective way. Yes sometimes things are rusted and almost welded together. If that is the case nothing short of cutting it off is going to remove it. Thanks for watching!
Remove the drive belt
Will only help if there is tension on the drive belt constantly. This one the tension was released when the parking brake was on. Thanks for watching!
Could be removed a dozen easier ways. Geez.
Such as?
What a load of nonsense just to get a few views that pully at any strech of the imagination is not stuck the mower looks practically new
I do videos on what I see happen and what works. This pulley was stuck so I made a video to help people. Whether you believe it or not is up to you but there is no foolery here. See the other videos on electric pto clutches we have, same way.
