Well, now I have her stripped down to everything except the back rollers and the shaft from the motor.

I can't figure out how to loosen the nuts holding the last two sprockets in place.

This is the nut holding the sprocket at the end of the engine drive shaft.

Here I am pointing to the nut holding the rear roller sprocket.

I am unable to move the nut on the rear roller even when I can stop the roller from turning. The nut simply won't budge and if I try in the clockwise direction (left hand thread?), I can't stop the rollers from turning.

With the other nut, I can't get enough grip on the drive shaft to loosen that nut, the shaft just turns - I have removed the engine.

Anyone resolved this in the past?

Regards,
Dave



Reel Mowers do it better.
