Cub cadet 100 PTO clutch bearing race removal
Well today I found out what the noise was as my PTO bearing failed on my cub 100. I have the clutch assembly off and the locking collar loose on the bearing race. I have tried unsuccessfully for hours to pull the race off the shaft. I put a 3 jaw puller into the bearing race groove where the balls used to roll....I have 3 hose clamps holding the jaws into the shallow groove. I heated it.....quenched it.....brass hammered it....tapped chisel on race.....wont budge. I'm afraid as it failed it may have spun on the shaft and galled itself onto the shaft. I am almost ready to weld a nut onto the race and drive a 3/4" bolt against shaft to drive it off.....or cut it off with a mini cut off wheel in a dremel. Any thoughts?
