Thanks Grumpy for that link. Very informative. Mine is a slightly different model. It is a Tractor 11VE and my guess is it is an older model.

Basically where the brocken shaft is in the links is where I am trying to separate.

I too found things much much easier after I sprayed bolts with Inox a couple of days ago. That stuff is gold especially for the little grub screws in the bearing retainers.

Just a quick picture of the rear sprocket with the slightly swept over teeth from wear

The rear drive assembley with all bolts removed. Can't figure if that drive pulley needs a bit of heavy handed action to be removed. I don't think it screws on in any way??

Just a close up of the cork clutch. Still seems to have a bit of beef left but haven't obviously seen the full face.

Thanks
