I have a John Deere riding mower that I just got. Model X540. It is a fairly good size mower. I know that the previous owner had the electric PTO off a few times as he had replaced it. I acquired the mower knowing that the bolt which holds the PTO clutch on was broken off in the crankshaft. I do not know why the bolt is broken. I do know that the previous owner is not much of a mechanic and many times makes things worse than they were before he attempted to repair it. It is a 7/16 bolt. Probably fine thread. The break is not too far into the crankshaft as I can feel the end with my finger. Just inquiring about some ideas as to how you would extract the bolt. I guess I am thinking that I would center punch the end and try to drill it out with a left hand drill bit. If it doesn't catch and screw out then I would try an easy out in the hold I drilled. I assume the bolt turns right to screw it in. Any other ideas? Thank you.
