Becoming an expert at pulling it appart lol. Trying to pull off the variable speed pulley. Got out the two mounting bolts however not much room to wiggle. then there's a piece of metal coming off the pulley that fits into the axle as a torque stabilizer. Not shown in any diagram. I tried removing the bolts fron the axle/frame , no help.
If it is the one that I am thinking about, you have to remove the entire transaxle from the mower because that stabilizer bracket locks into the grooves on the axle housing, and you have to drop the tranny to slide it down the housing.
