Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): removing b/s11hp engine from john deere 111 riding mower, model numbers, crankshaft

Question
I need to remove the engine for repairs and I am not sure how the under side housing comes off.  I noticed there was a horseshoe pin? at the bottom of the shaft.  Should the mumultiple pulleys come off the shaft?  Do I need some kind of puller?


Answer
 Hello Phil:

 Look in the Center of the Crankshaft. There should be a Bolt that Holds the Pulleys to the Shaft. Sometimes the Pulley will be Rusted to the Shaft and Require Pulling with a Puller. Hope this Helps. You can View a Breakdown of this Mower at this Addy http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter your Model Numbers 111. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully
