Jacobsen GT10 Right Angle Drive failure

[Bill_Deering]

Well many months have passed and I want to let all know how my little drive problem came out. All becomes clear in the end. My problem was a jamed Woodruff key which was jammed so I couldn't get it apart. I was able to get a small cutoff wheel in there to cut off the shaft. I bought a new drive on the internet and installed it with no problems . I also replaced the starter since it was available and my drive gear was chewed up Now the tractor starts like new. I'm delighted with the results . prime use is now moving cut logs I will use for firewood. Thanks for your advice. It was helpful.

Thanks for the story and conclusion. The picture are really nice too. Persistence pays off!
