John Deere 7775 / NH LX665 skidsteer, how do you remove drive motor?

[blue83ranger]

I recently bought a 7775 skidsteer and the left side drive motor needs to be replaced and I can't get it out. From in the cab I have all hoses, metal lines, and fittings out of the motor and the 2 bolts out holding it to the gearbox. It is loose from the gear box and I can move it out about 2 inches until it hits all the pumps. From the outside inspection cover I have both disc brakes off the splined coupler. From how it looks the coupler is suppose to come off the motor and the gear is suppose to stay in the gear box but the gear is really stuck on the motor. Any ideas?

Order a service manual. It will have the removal procedure.

One place I found just says it's suppose to slide out. I guess I'll order a manual. Do you know of any place online with good prices that sells an actual book?

eBay is always the first place I look :thumbsup:
