Not sure maybe youtube.com could give some pointers.
Thanks that's what it looked like but I thought I read something that said the shaft was tapered and the hubs sometimes were frozen on. I will give it a try.

you could always use a gear puller if needed!.
You didn't post the chassis number, but I believe these to be just a double D shaft. Hang it from the hub and soak it with penetrant first if you have a hard time and then support the hub and drive the shaft through if you are shy a puller.
Thanks everyone, I will try a gear puller and penetrant if I have a problem.
Quick Update, I replaced the LH transmission this week with a new one I got on Ebay for $540. It fit perfect and other than not knowing what I was doing it went fairly well. I did manage to turn probably a 2 hour job in to about 4 hours, lol but it did all come together in the end and worked great. It just always seemed like I needed a third hand. Tractor drives perfect but I am just so nervous about these transmissions, I had no idea they were so weak. Thanks everyone for your help, maybe next I will try to rebuild the old one.

Congratulations on a job well done.
Yes, one can only wounder why CC would put such a fragile transmission in a lawn tractor.
Best of luck with your new tranny.
