I am having a real problem getting the output shaft out of my cutter's gearbox so I can change a bad bearing. I have taken off the input shaft and it appears (the parts diagram shows this too) that the output shaft should slide out of the case going to the outside.
However, I have done everything I know and can't get it loose. I soaked it with Blaster and put a porta power type spreader on it and tapped it a few times. Diagram doesn't show a retaining ring and the bottom cap (which I took off) normally holds the bearing cup in place. It is a 90Hp gearbox on a 10" heavy duty Kodiak cutter- their gearbox parts breakdown shows it as model GB-90, but it looks like a generic Omni model 401-0170.
I bet there are 50 guys on here right now that have had to remove these shafts and can give me advice on breaking that thing loose. I can sure use and would appreciate the advice.
