All three spindles on my FTH 600 need new bearings, so I took the blades off, unbolted the spindle from underneath the housing, removed nut on pulley on upper side, and ran into a brick wall trying to get the pulleys off the shaft. Local Bush Hog dealer indicated there's no way to save the pulleys. At this point I don't care...just want them off. The pulleys are resting against the mower deck, and I've already sacrificed a spindle (no problem). I'm thinking the other 2 will be casualties too. I just can't get them loose, not even with a sledge. Don't have a cutting torch but am thinking that is the only solution. Any ideas. Thanks guys.
