Hi folks. I have a 15.5 vertical shaft Kohler Command engine (CV15S) that I am attempting to remove from the tractor frame. Think it threw a rod! All bolts and connectors on engine are removed except the vertical shaft. I am requesting help on procedure to remove shaft from tractor that includes the pulley assembly. I thought it was simply a close fit with key that would pull shaft out but that appears to have an attachment or nut/screw at end of shaft as retainer. Guidance would be appreciated with specific attachment size as applicable. Thanks in advance for any help. vette1

I didn't look through the whole manual but this should help over all.
