Woods RM360 repair

[Anonymous-0]

TO ANYONE! Please help me out here. My father in-law hit a stump with our pull behind Woods RM360 and he has destroyed the center blade pulley. I have got the blade off and the pulley is just flopping around in its cradle. He thought it was a bearing issue, but when we took the belt off....the whole pulley assembly moved. Can anyone tell me where I can find the parts to replace this pulley....and any tips on how to remove this pulley would be greatly appreciated!

my woods mowers have a tapered collar that holds the pulley on. it has some threaded holes in the top. to remove the collar, you put bolts on the holes and tighten them up, it draws the collar out. the collar is tapered.your local dealer that sells woods products can get parts.

i used to make the belt pulleys for woods mowers in the late 70s to mid 80's.
we did use the taper lock bushings in the pulleys.
just take out the 2 or 3 bolts holding the pulley to the bushing and put them in the threaded holes in the bushing and tighten them up. it will push the pulley right off of the bushing.now if it partially sheared the key between the shaft and the bushing you may have trouble getting the bushing off of ythe shaft.
