Hydro pulley replacement DYT4000

Did you the pulley or did the mower?

As its that nut you are pointing that needs removing.

And we need the 917. number from serial number tag to which transaxle you have.
 
Peerless LTH2000

I thought it looked like a Peerless. Holding the remaining part of the pulley will take some doing but an impact should get the nut off. Otherwise you would need to destroy the fan to get the hex on the backside of the pulley.

Yup. This is a replacement tranny. The original failed internally several years ago. I found this tranny new and bought it. We tried to remove that pulley and fan for "parts" and i now recall that we got the nut off but completely ruined the pulley trying to get it off with a puller and heat. I think i am going to drill out the spot welds at least on the top half and see if we can weld it back together. Its either that or drill both halves and bolt it together. I will see what my brother in law thinks tomorrow when i take it to his shop.
 
Here is the info on the repair (sorry, no pics): two "pins" on the lower half were preserved as locator dowels; the corresponding holes in the top half were chamfered with a drill (to enhance the weld). All 6 other "spots" were smoothed on the top and bottom and then drilled out on the top half. The 2 halves were then welded together. I think i should keep an eye out for a used replacement pulley(and fan) just in case. I found a new on on ebay for $245!

Would you happen to know what i need to do to stop the speed lever from backing off as i mow? Ever since i changed out the tranny i have had to keep a hand on the speed lever or it just backs off and slows. I have tried tightening a spring loaded bolt on the left side(as i am sitting on it) without reaction. Perhaps i am not tightening it enough but what i have done so far has not worked.
