I had a little time today so I decided to pick a project that could stand alone. Yesterday I removed the air cleaner assembly and bead blaster it, touched up a few more heavily pitted areas with bonds. I sanded those this morning and got a coat of primer on them. I probably won't put any finish paint on until spring.
Anyway today I undertook removing the front PTO. It wobbles so the bearing is shot. I was not having any success getting the set screws off, but with a block of wood and a mallet I was able to drive the assembly off the crank shaft with the bearing intact. The crank shaft appears to be OK.
Now I need to try and take it apart. One of the small tabs is missing on the fiber disk. Not sure if that is an issue or not. I looked up the PN 478 351 R1 and don't find any listed anywhere??? There appear to be some for other models but not the 100. It looks like the bearing is still around.
I may end needing to drill out the set screws. From what I can tell I only have the bottom ones. The ones with the points.
Any tips or suggestions on taking this apart or where to get the fibre disk would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bill
