Wods M5-4 Blade Bar removal.

[jerry shannon]

I bought a used/old Woods M5-4 for $450.00. Missing a tail wheel and half the pto shaft. I replaced the entire shaft and tail wheel. Was holding gear box oil. I topped off the gear box with 90 weight and spun the shaft by hand and let sit overnight. Next day, you guessed it,, oil leaked out of bottom of gear box onto to the stump jumper and ground. I want to pull the gearbox. What am I in for when I try to get the blade bar off? Any process or suggestions when I find it is frozen in place? I have the steps but I am sure this blade bar has never been touched before.
