Welp, after awhile I decided to put the unit back together. I put the tire back on and pounded the pivot back in the front assembly. Fired up the lawnmower, moved backwards 2 ft and the pivot wheel swiveled as normal....proceeded to moved the lawn after greasing all the grease points.
Thankyou I have the same diagram. I've been soaking the top of the pivot with penetrating oil . So I guess my only alternative is to take out the grease fitting and pound the fork off with a sledge
The schematic shows the fork slides into the sleeve on the front assembly. There is a washer on the bottom of the stem of the fork and a washer and spring clip to hold it on the top. There is a grease fitting that appears to be able to take out. There are no bearings.
I have a snapper zero turn . I forgot to grease up the front pivot wheel assembly and one is locked up. I took off the top spring clip and washer and sprayed WD40 on the top of the pivot . Hours later , still stuck. HELP!
