I appreciate the advice from everyone - I think mine is going to the shop.  I tried pulling the axle, but the hex bolt won't back out of the gear, even after the nut is off.  Tried pulling the The drive plate still only rotates about a half inch in either direction.

I've removed the pulley, pulled the set screws from the hub and can't remove the hub.  It still turns about a 1/16 of a revolution in either direction.  Will continue with WD40 and try removing the drive plate.

Thanks all, for the advice.

I'll try loosening up the plate in the AM

Drive belt is correct - the auger/assembly has been removed.  The sheave? (the wheel the belt wraps around that connects to the drive plate) for the drive will move "a little" but won't turn.

Thanks.  Bottom spindle?  Is this the connection from the friction plate/drive plate to the pulley?
