How to remove rockshaft from 1812
Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller...
I have an 1812 and the rockshaft lifting tabs are sheared off. I bought what appeared to be the correct replacement but it's not nearly as beefy as what's currently on the tractor. The bigger issue is that I can't figure out how to remove the existing one! I've been applying heat with a MAPP gas torch & then hitting the pin with freeze spray & coating the thing with PB Blaster to no avail. I've been beating the crap out of the retaining pin (I hope it's a retaining pin) and nothing is happening. I attached a picture of the rockshaft, the pin is the shiny silver thing on the left. It's easy to take picture of it with the tractor standing on end.  I currently have the engine out of the tractor as I just replaced the stupid ignition module. I'm assuming it's easier to do the rockshaft with the engine out, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm about ready to find a shop that can do the work for me as I'm about out of ideas.

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.
