how do i take off a motor thats rusted on?

Question

its on a mower and its the wheel hydraulic motor that controls the wheel(obviously lol)

i've taken one off before on the same type of mower but since this one has been on for quite a few years its rusted on there and i couldnt even punch out the bolts.

any ideas so i can fix this darn thing?

Answer 1

go to the parts house and get some penetrating oil. spray it on heavily and wait about 30 mintues and try it. If it does not break free then spray more oil on and wait another 30. it will eventually break free.

Try heating the bolts with a torch as well.

Answer 2

Use a bigger hammer.
