Gentleman,
I am restoring my 1950 Cub. She is in a very torn down state at this time.
I have a few questions for the forum. I have removed the final drives and removed the pans and dumped the nasty gear lube. Where can I get final drive pan gaskets? Would form a gasket be acceptable? I intend to use 80-90 gear lube to fill the pans as full as I can and then lift them to the bolting pattern and start catching bolts (I will need a hand). Is this the correct lube (80-90) and am I approaching this correctly? It would be nice if there was a filler plug so that you could re-install the gasket and pan dry and then re-fill it. For that matter it would be nice if there was a way to drain the pan other that breaking the bolting pattern (messy).
I have a 7 1/2 inch pully on the PTO shaft (the pully that drives the belly mower). What is the procedure for removing that pully? So far, I can not figure out how to remove it. On close examination I have discovered that there are cracks in that cast pully. What is a good source to get a replacement pully?
Thanks,
Dan N.E. Ohio

Purists don't like it, but the silicone form-a-gasket will work, make sure the lips of the pans are straight before you bolt them back up.
There are filler plugs, they just don't look like it. they are the recessed plugs on the inside of each final drive that a 1/2 in drive socket will fit in.
If you have the same pulley that is supplied with Most belly mowers it is a split bushing type pulley using a tapered hub. To remove it, take out the 2 or 3 (depends on pulley) bolts that hold the pulley to the hub and reinstall them in the tapped holes turning them in evenly. They will push the pulley off the hub. One that is done it normally loosens the hub enough that it can be removed with minimal persuasion.

John,
Thank you very much, I will try that for removing the pully.
I know the plug that you are referring to inside the final drive. So there is a filler plug but no drain, other than dropping the pan.
I only thought of form a gasket because I'm not sure where to get a final drive gasket. I missed one on Ebay awhile back. Pricey though! Form a gasket does not bother the purist in me... I have not found a supply house that carries that item.

Thanks to all for the advice and information.
John, the pully came off using the mounting bolts as jack screws just as you said. I feel kind of dumb for not realizing that! I like to do things right the first time and very often that means asking questions.
