Craftsman 26hp GT, Hydro, 48in deck, electric pto. I checked it(26hpELS) out and the left bank is failing fast. And the right is not much better, pretty greasy and dirty too. So I bought a 30HP briggs to repower. The engine removal from the tractor was pretty easy, they attached the motor to a mounting plate, with 4 bolts attaching that to the frame. How do you get the PTO off? I can't replace the motor with the new one until I get the PTO off the shaft so I can remove the engine mount plate. I got the long bolt out easy enough with a socket wrench locking the crank nut, and there is minimal rust visible. I tried smacking it with a hammer but its frozen. Any Ideas? HELP!
