[_DX3_]

I finally got the PTO off of the 128 engine and I used the trick of drilling two holes in the basket pulley to remove it with my puller. Worked like a dream. All the set screws came out great, but the pulley bearing was an absolute bear, but with persistence and a beer or two to control my desire to hit it with a big ole hammer I finally got it off... :biggrin2.gif: All I have left to remove is the flywheel and I need to run to the local TSC to pick up a couple grade 8 bolts long enough to work with my puller. Then I can open up the oil pan and remove the rod, piston and see what the insides look like. Today is clean up day, getting all my tools back in place and vacuuming up all the crud that came off the motor and flywheel screen. That stuff is blacker than coal dust and just as bad. LOL
