Finally!

Three hours, a wheel puller, a propane torch, a wrecking bar, a cold chisel, hack saw, numerous wrenches, hammers and assorted hand tools later, I got the pulley off the blasted engine!

This was the same pulley that had defied removal last fall, breaking two Allen wrenches and my finger in the process. This was the pulley that was preventing my completion of my "Roto-Tiller from Hell" project, the pulley that was on the brand new 6HP Briggs and Stratton engine that I salvaged off my daughters abandoned lawn mower.

This is a Big Deal! I'm taking the rest of the evening off. I got the pully off the blasted engine!

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
