Bert he already got it out. But have seen blade bolt so tight that even a 1300 ft/lb peak impact can't break them free. Sometimes it is just getting pass the static bond is hard.

Well it wouldn't be right to not tell the tale of my mistakes. I found my harmonic balance puller and attempted to pull the pulley off after heating and letting it set with kroll setting on it for a day and half. I bent the pulley... Ok, got the torch and started heating the pulley, beat the crap out of it with a big hammer and a oak 4x4 on top of the spindle nut. Nothing moved but the nut is seized on the shaft and I might have gotten it to hot and bent it. I am going to cut the pulley off the shaft with my torch so I can remove the bearing housing. Looking back, I guess I should have done that at the get go. At least I could have pressed the pulley off with an arbor press. Now I need new parts, complete spindle with nut and pulley. Any ideas where to buy this and not get robbed? I am thinking about getting a new mower, bought this used and abused and have put a lot of new parts on it. They are so expensive now! As always, thanks for all the help.
