remove the mowing deck this should be very simple just a few pins. then in th ebottom of the stack pulley shaft is a bolt you will need a deep well 5/8" socket to reach up inside the shaft remove the bolt and the pulley should slide down and off.
I need to know how to remove a bolt from a pulley assembly on a Briggs and Stratton 8 hp vertical lawn mower engine. It seems to be rusty. I tied DW40 and vise grips and shaft slips. Any suggestions?
Belt is stretched or the tension pulley
To install the main drive belt on a Murray riding mower, first ensure the mower is turned off and the key is removed for safety. Remove the mower deck by disconnecting the belt and any necessary bolts. Next, route the new drive belt around the engine pulley and axle pulley, following the mower's belt routing diagram, which is usually found on the mower's frame. Finally, reattach the deck and check the tension on the belt before starting the mower.
Use a puller so you do not bend the pulley.
Not quite sure of the question, but I will give you a site I did (no ads, no nothing) and see if it helps:
To remove the rear drive pulley from a Huskee riding lawn mower while it's still on the mower, first ensure the mower is turned off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Remove the belt from the pulley by loosening the tensioner if necessary. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the bolts securing the pulley to the shaft. If the pulley is stuck, gently tap it with a rubber mallet to help loosen it.
To swap an engine on a Murry riding mower, it is important to make sure that the new engine is the right match for the mower, by checking the model number. You also need to make sure that the bolt holes line up, so that it will fit safely. Remove the old engine, and then replace the new engine, tightening all the screws and bolts in the reverse order that you followed to remove the old engine.
Remove the belt(s) and manipulate the pulley by hand; its action should be butter-smooth.
Follow the positive battery cable to the engine, it is what the red cable attaches to.
Most lawnmowers loosen to the left. At least that's how I do it.
If it is a push lawnmower, probably (Although I have seen one with an electric starter). If it is a riding mower, probably not. On a push mower, the hub where the blade is bolted onto is attached to the engine driveshaft via a keyway and a fastener (nut). Therefore, the blade is not driven by a pulley. On the contrary, on a riding mower, the blades are usually driven by a belt that transfers motion from the engine shaft pulley to another pulley that spins the blade(s).
Murray riding mowers are manufactured by the Briggs & Stratton Corporation. The company, known for its small engine production, has a long history in the outdoor power equipment industry. Murray mowers are often recognized for their affordability and practicality, catering to both residential and commercial customers.
