Hi folks,
I have a 14 year old 800hr BX1860 on which I've just discovered the propeller shaft front joint cover (aka dust boot) (item 20 below) has worn through and fallen off. Interestingly, the damaged boot was just sitting atop the MMM deck which I had pulled off for springtime blade sharpening. This I believe was actually quite fortunate, otherwise I probably would not have noticed that the boot was in fact missing.
On to the business at hand.
Is is possible, on a BX1860, to remove the snap ring (item 100 below), then remove the bolts holding the front coupling (item 080 below) to the engine output flange, remove the retention spring (item 40 below) and then position the front coupleing and shaft in such a way that the entire coupling can be removed from the shaft?
Kubota #K2561-14132 COVER,JOINT (Cover, joint)
Thanks for any ideas, suggestions, etc.
