I recently purchased a 29 inch MTD 10HP as you can see here.......
I disassembled my auger today to inspect things,
When I split "the clam" apart a bit of water leaked out the bottom, I think was because the plastic plug on the top to put grease in was missing,
Anyway, after inspecting all the bushings and gears, everything looks and feels pretty good to me, I originally intended on replacing the bushings, but they dont feel like they need it.
I think I will leave everything as is, with the exception of the 3 oil seals that i would like to replace,
I can replace the 2 oil seals on the sides easily, but how do i remove the one on the impeller shaft?
I have to seperate the shaft from the 12 inch auger on the end of the shaft, and i dont see any bolts whatsoever?
Does this shaft just hammer out?.....I would like to make sure before trying
Pic #1 is the seal i want to replace, Pic#2 is where i need to seperate the shaft from the auger
Pic #3 and #4 are the gears.....do they look fine to you guys?
