OK, I got a good deal on a 2011 version 24hp/46" AC130..thought it was 42" deck,like my other....

oh well... needs new drive belt, but can't get the PTO off ! arrrghhhh.Oiled ithoping it'll seep and release( yeah, I'm dreaming..... )

Any 'word of wisdom', 'trick of the trade' ??

I've got it strung up high, near vertical, removed the front wheels and steering so nothing to hit my head on,again...

Thanks

OK ...FINALLY go it off. had to make a 2 piece bolt together rear plate then use a 1950s style 'slide hammer/puller'...5 whaps later it's off

THEN discover..

to replace the drive belt you HAVE to remove the steering column shaft, which isNOT covered in the owner's manual .

Oh well... making progress !

Good news is I'll know HOW to do this on my other AC130.
