If you have a big enough air hammer get the bolts loose and drive the spindle out out of the hub, I drive the pulley off as seen in the video, but if the hub is froze to the spindle just drive the spindle through it.

Those are a little more complicated with the drive shaft and gear box. But check the belts and check the clutch air gap and your normal voltages. I have videos for all of that.

If the clutch checks good make sure you getting proper voltage from the switch if all that checks good it’s going to be a belt/ driveshaft or gear box issues. There’s one belt on the back and one on the deck for those.
