Once the nut is off, up they come. Not easy, I bent one to pieces getting it off to put another one on using pry bars. Most people say to remove the blade and take out the retaining bolts for the spindle and then drive the spindle down out the bottom of the deck thru the pulley. Spray it real good with PB Blaster too.

PB works great, I like croil but $$$, you could warm up the pulley w/ mapp gas. If your going to replace the pulley, heat it good. Don't heat the spindle to much you want the pulley to expand more, and repeat. Be patient, like you said it has a home there, I didn't want to move either!!

Well I got one off,supported the bearing flange between two 4x4 blocks and used a 10lb sledge on it and after about 5 wacks it popped off! Now for the middle one. The reason I am doing this is had to cut one stinking bolt off with the grinder,wasn't enough left to use a socket on. The first pulley was rusted away. I should have taken the bolt off the pulley before I removed the spindle assembly from the deck,may have to bolt the two remaining back up and put the blade on and try to wedge it to break it loose. I have been using kroil thats my preferred penetrating oil,not cheap but like it better than pb blaster.Hope to get some done tomorrow evening,broke my cheap-o vise trying to loosen the nut on to top the middle pulley tonight.Thanks for all your help guys!

If you have a air impact, it works great to loosen the spindle nuts holding the pulley on

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.
