Default Disassembling a #2 Tiller - help!

I am trying to refurbish my #2 tiller - It had been sitting for a while and was frozen when I got it. I figure either one of the chains is frozen/rusted or one of the bearings is frozen.

SOOOOOO, trying to split it to see what's up. I got everything split down to the central gearbox - shields off, tines off, pulley off, arms and braces off - no problem....

Working on the pulley side, which looks like has the cover to open the gearbox lid - that would let me pull the cover and inspect the innards. I got the 2 locking collars off the smaller shafts with no issue. Didn't look like there was a locking collar on the tine shaft though, even though it shows one in the parts listing. Soaked everything and got the outer dust excluder cover (part #20 on the diagram) and the outer bearing flange (#18) off the tine shaft, exposing the bearing.

But I can't get the bearing (#16) or the inner bearing flange (#18- a metal ring that looks like it goes around and UNDER the bearing - looks like the inner and outer bearing flanges clamshell over the bearing) off the tine shaft. Not enough room to get a puller or a splitter under the bearing.

In the diagram, it looks like the inner bearing flange would slip over the bearing and come off with the bearing still on the shaft, but I can't get it past the bearing. Or does the bearing have to come off first?

If I get the bearing flange off, can the gearbox cover be removed with the bearing still on the tine shaft? That might give me enough room to get behind the bearing to pull it.... I can't tell from looking at the parts diagram...

Suggestions for how to proceed? I don't want to force something that isn't supposed to move and break it!

Thanks in advance! Sure there will be more questions when I get it open!

Seems like i cut the bearings off with a cutoff wheel. Grind a slot using the cutoff wheel and hit with chisel and bfh, the race will crack and come off.
Could have torched them off but was worried about grease catching fire, but mine had nothing but dust inside.
It will come apart if you get the outer races off.

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.
