My Peruzzo ditch and bank mower (5 years old) has failed bearings on the output shaft of the gearbox:
I've ordered a replacement gearbox, and am making progress getting it torn down. But I'm currently having trouble getting the PTO shaft off. I don't actually know what the connection of the shaft to the gearbox is. I've removed the nut on the bolt on the hub, but can't figure out how it comes off:
Does the bolt have to come out first? I tried gently tapping it out and it doesn't seem to move.
Also, I can't figure out how the guard comes off. I'm not sure I need to, but it seems like it would be helpful.
I've removed the silver ring, and it looks like the black part should slide off the yellow part, but I can't get it to move:
Any suggestions about how to get this apart would be helpful.
