REMOVING A 700 ??? series 1" Salsbury clutc

[riotwarrior]

On the Muscateer, I've got a Salsbury clutch of some sort, as far as I can tell it's from the 700 series but exact model I'm not certain.

It is on a 1" keyed shaft, there are NO threads inside outer portion to insert a puller.

The clutch is as I often say RUST WELDED onto the shaft and I am unable to remove it.

A small propane torch has been tried and does not introduce enough heat IMHO to get that shaft off.

Anyone here have suggestions as to what to do?

FYI
I can place the clutch in OVER center and it locks into high gear, and as I understand it you can then unbolt the cover and take apart the spider and so forth. This hopefully would leave just the fixed sheave and the main tube correct????

Can I then heat the living crap out of that main tube with an oxy/acetylene torch and get it good and HOT and hopefully withdraw it from the engine shaft?

Any suggestions welcomed, I'm at a loss of how to get this clutch off the engine to install onto another engine.

Thanks

As a last resort I've sawed the crankshaft off of junk engines and put clutch on press to remove. If your trying to also save the crank disassembly of the clutch and more heat may work.

Remove the engine from the machine and stand it on the flywheel side so that you can fill the clutch bore with the penetrating lube of your choice. Walk away. Come back a week letter with 7/8" drift, big hammer and a friend you trust to swing said hammer near your hands. Set the drift in the hole, pick up the engine by the clutch and have your friend hit it as hard and as many times as needed till it breaks free.
