I'm quite shy about doing videos so be patient with me until I get comfortable doing them.
The variable speed pulley on this MTD that has sat out in the elements over the past ten years was seized tight by rust.
A brief explanation on how to free up a seized varidrive pulley on a MTD and get it working again.
Take emery cloth, to sand the rust off of the inner shaft, use penetrating oil, then I take C-clamps pull evenly pull the center pulley hub down over the shaft just cleaned. Do the same thing to the other side to clean the rust off, use the C-clamps to pull evenly back and forth while using penetrating oil, until it moves freely. Before installing it into the tractor, I would grease the parts you just cleaned.
Good luck and I hope this helps someone out.
