Landpride finish mower

[KubotaSam]

I just bought a used Landpride GM2560 finish mower. It had been sitting unused for about 2 years. It seemed to be in decent shape. Some parts were kind of rusty from sitting outdoors but I thought I had found a good deal. After I unloaded it from my truck I was cleaning it and fixing one of the pulleys that the belt goes around. I was turning the input shaft to the gearbox a few turns when gear oil started to come out the bottom. I guess the oil seal had dried up and failed when I started turning the gearbox. No big deal I thought. I removed the gearbox. Took of the large nut that holds the bottom pulley. And now I am stuck (just like the pulley). Everything is really rusted. and I can't get the pulley off. The pulley is made of pressed sheet metal so a puller would just bend it. I tried heating the center of the pulley with an oxyacetylene torch and tapping the end of the shaft. No luck removing the pulley, and now the gearbox does not turn as free as it did. I must have cooked the lower bearings in the gearbox with the torch.
Does anyone have any ideas to remove the pulley without damaging it or the gearbox shaft any more? If I did cut the pulley off the shaft I am not sure I can get an exact replacement as Landpride has an online parts locator but does not list this exact model (GM2560). I believe the gearbox is a Comer. The tag on the side has type 141-A Code Nr 141.00300 Series D.7 Any Ideas where I can get rebuild parts for this gearbox if I do get the pulley off?

If you don"y have a manual you can get one off landpride.com maybe an exploded parts view would help.

Can you weld a large nut on the bottom of the pulley where the shaft goes through it? Use the nut as a puller to push the shaft out. I would think a fine thread nut would be best. Might work might not.

This is part of my problem. Landpride does not list my exact Model -- GM2560

I did a quick look and couldn't find that mower model number anywhere, except here:

Land Pride Grooming Mower parts

They list a belt for the GM2560. Since they recognize the model # right off the bat, I'd give them a call about parts. They say, " If there are other parts you need that aren't listed, call or email and we can tell you availability and pricing."

I doubt it was a typo but if you go to Land Pride and search parts by part number and put in 141,

you'll get Box (Gear Box) 0.141.0330.00 (very close to your number)
which is off of Corner Gearbox (826-011C) Comer
which is off of mower model FD2560

It might be the same mower, there is a SN# break down if you search parts under model number.

Well I got the pulley off the shaft. I cut through the flange of the pulley over the top of the key with a dremmel then a sawsall. Then tapped in a small cold chisel to expand the diameter slightly and was able to remove the pulley. I removed the seal and have ordered a new one. The problem is the sealing area of the shaft is badly pitted from rust. Hopefully I can find a speedy sleeve to fit over the shaft. Does anyone know of a good online source for speedy sleeves?

I have a new belt on order for my Land Pride GM2560 and will need to know install the new one. The mower was made in Italy and Land Pride slapped their name on. The manuals are not available on line for this one. Anyone with a GM2560 that can share the belt installation diagram?
